Hi Ryan, Keep the 30 to learn and daysail and race. Buy the 42 to cruise with a gang or live aboard. You're young. You can handle both. Easy payments. 2nd tip: Marry rich.

Re: Stus-List Talk some sense into me please!
Consider your slip fees. They go up as the size increases. Every time I prep the bottom of my boat I'm thankful it's only 27 feet. Anti-fouling paint is pricy and you'll more than double the amount needed and 4x the time involved. Substantial upgrades on a 30 vs a 42 are easier. Consider replacing #21 2 speed Barient winches with self trailers for $700 each vs $2000 a piece for the ones for the landfall. Beautiful boat but really make sure you can afford all aspects before jumping in, otherwise you will despise it and never achieve that special love affair we all share. I can't say with any first hand knowledge but I would think riding out a storm on the 42 would be a lot more comfortable than a 30 but as others have said if you are learning how to sail, the smaller boat will make you a better sailor. A well set up 30 can be singlehanded even with a spinnaker but I'm not sure if anyone does any solo kite flying on a LF 42 Whatever you decide you're sailing and that's what counts.

Re: Stus-List Talk some sense into me please!
Compare the following prices: New main and job for the 30 and the 42. The 42 sails are going to be at least double if not triple. Replacement engine for the 30 and 42. The A4 that most 30s have can be replaced with a used one for $2K or so and a Moyer rebuild is about $6K. I would think the 42 isn’t going for less than $15K.

Re: Stus-List Talk some sense into me please!
I like all the advice you're getting about mastering the smaller boat. Your 30 isn't much different from the CC 27 my father taught hundreds to sail aboard in Victoria. She is a sweetheart of a boat that gives you really good feedback when you make adjustments to your sails. Once you get a good handle on sailing her, you'll be able to tell when the main or jib needs to come in or be eased, just by the feel of the helm. You learn faster on a smaller boat, too. There is also the handling factor. It's much, much harder to stop a 42-footer than a 30, and much easier to do really expensive damage with the bigger boat. you may be familiar with the Cube-Square Law: if you double the dimensions, you quadruple the area and octuple the mass. When I go offshore I will always pick a crewmember who has lots of small-boat experience over one who has only sailed big boats. It scales up easily, down; not so well. That being said, when you get comfortable with the 30, by all means jump into a 42. Sure it's lots of extra work and money, but personally I like working on my boat. I'm sure you will, too.

Re: Stus-List Talk some sense into me please!
On the other hand. being a 30-1 owner for 20+ years, it is a boat which he and his sweetie can sail without additional help in most conditions. A bigger boat means more effort, maybe more people, more expense. If he is looking for a party boat (bunches aboard for the weekend) then a 42 would be a better deal, but for getting away for a cozy weekend and, as mentioned many times, the outlay for everything for a 30 is considerably less. We haven't heard where he sails, what type of sailing he would like to do, etc. He didn't mention if he had had other boats in the past and is now deciding the cruising life is his goal or whatever he mentioned the Landfall, so I surmise he is interested in cruising, maybe in luxury, and in that case a 42 would be a better deal. Live aboard??? I'm still a little suspicious of a 42 for the price of an early 30... problems? But, his brand choice is a great one.

Re: Stus-List Talk some sense into me please!
Ryan - Your *key point* was when you said to make sure its a sport/lifestyle/hobby for me... Before I bought this LF38 I had an Islander 28 -- a very stiff and forgiving little sailing machine (Bob Perry told me that it's still his favorite boat, back when I asked him if the CC LF38 was a good boat) that boat made me focus on sailing characteristics as a primary criteria for the next boat. I sailed the heck out of it, and did as much weekend cruising as possible. I also did things with it that I'd never do with this boat, probably because I didn't know what I was doing and was learning through mistakes. Mike's comment that a 30 is cheaper to maintain is right on the mark. Check out the price difference on a quality block for 3/8 line vs. 1/2 line. Tanks, engines, sails, slip fees, haul-out fees, paint, just about everything. When I was working, some folks who didn't know a thing would say to me 'I'm thinking about buying a boat. Something about 40 to 45 feet.' I would always say 'Buy a little boat and learn, then buy a bigger boat, and then buy a bigger boat. Everyone I've met who buys a big first boat sails it a few times, scares the heck out of him or her self, and then lets it sit at the dock.' One guy took my advice, bought a Santana 24 and sailed it on the Pacific out of Santa Cruz, and still scared himself into buying a heavy full keel cruiser. Oh well. Smaller boats are nimble and will provide you with faster feedback when you make a mistake, and that makes you a better sailor. So sail the heck out of that 30, and buy a bigger boat when your heart tells you the time is right. The fact that you're even wondering says the time isn't right.

Re: Stus-List Talk some sense into me please!
Keep the 30 while you determine if its a sport/lifestyle/hobby for you. There will always be other good boats around when you decide. Meantime I'll buy the Landfall 42. :-)) Dan Sargeant CC 32 Ocean Pearl Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia On Jul 4, 2014 3:00 PM, Ryan Beckett via CnC-List cnc-list@cnc-list.com wrote: Hi All, I am a new owner of a 1973 CC 30 Mk1.

A 42 is 3x the work and expense of a 30. More of everything to maintain harder to single hand. You'll sail less and spend more.

Re: Stus-List Talk some sense into me please!
Small boat, small systems. Manual pumps, small lines, small sails, less maintenance, smaller slip fees, etc. Big boat, big systems. Electric pumps, electric shower sump, big expensive lines and sails, increased dockage, propane gas systems and solenoids, etc. lots of expensive stuff to break and replace. Small boat, good feel for the water. Fun to sail. Easy to dock. Easy to see/feel changes in sail trim. Dinghies are a blast to sail! Big boat (even a CC), less feel for the water, harder to dock. May or may not see/feel changes in sail trim. Summary, smaller boat = all the fun of sailing with less hassle. Dennis C.
