Hello all
You may remember my post some months ago
My dad gave me this boat and I asked whether or not it was worth it etc
Everyone seemed to say hell yeah
I gotta say its been great what a great boat And now I'm hooked
I've got to say the restoration so far has been fun and the best advi
Interesting thread this one.
My oldest son loves sailing but my youngest son (20) can't stand the
heeling.
My wife of 1+ years has taken to it just fine and has been my helmslady for
fall racing going on 3 years now.
When I am taking novice guests out, it has sometimes helped to put in a reef

Here are my reactions to the boat ride. First of all it was a blast. Given
that, I have the following observations:
The boat (C&C 30 One Design) is nice looking but not much different than boats
of its type (Melges 30, Mumm 30, etc.) I just saw a picture of a Farr 400 and

Maybe consider Branford too, although I would like to actually sail to a
rendezvous. Brewer Bruce & Johnson's marina had available slips this year
(getting all boats together might be an issue), and the facility has a
swimming pool, restaurant (beer selection dubious) and recently built

Thanks — Will surely hit you up for the help as we get closer. I agree
that he CT shoreline is best and I’m teetering between Milford and Clinton.
Both have slips and facilities that would be conducive to a rendezvous, as well

Edd,
I'll be willing to help out with the 2015 Rendezvous.
Notwithstanding my location, I think the CT shoreline is preferable to
Long Island, given that many will drive and we know what driving on a
summer weekend on LI can be like.

My wife does not really enjoy rough weather or extended trips with a lot of

to port. She is happy if our end destination includes interesting things to do
on shore and showers are a big plus too. She isn’t afraid, she
Chuck, we need to get the wives together! My wife doesn't like it either, but
she does put up with it. Fortunately, she explained she has every confidence in
me and the boat. I might be white knuckled at the helm, worrying about my 40
year old boat, while she's curled up in a corner of the cockp

Chuck,
It sounds like you really need to own two boats. A trawler around 36 - 42 feet
for trips with the wife, and a C&C 25, 27, or 30 that you and your son can race
relatively I expensively and also daysail when the wife isn't along.
Take heart. It has been said that all of us will end up in a
This probably _is_ a regional thing. If you do it regularly twice a year, the
amount of time at the crane is less than 30 min. Our Club policy is that you
can book the crane for just 30 min. Most people can manage under that limit.

The one time I pulled my mast I had to:
1. Remove jib, fold, and put away.
2. Remove main, fold, and put away.
3. Remove boom
4. Main halyard is fixed to the reel winch on one end, so I had to cut
the shackle off the other end
5. Unwire the lights and radio anten

My wife doesn't like it either. She is afraid of heights. When the boat heels
and she's on the high side she gets nervous. I'm quite happy to leave her at
home. lol

One additional comment. I used to store my mast outside on sawhorses in my

Well, here I am pulling my mast in 2 ½ Minutes, mostly in the dark, with my

And I was poorly prepared last year!

15 minutes would be great on my wallet. On those years when I take the mast
down, I do try to get the crane use to be as low as possible. Maybe John was
doing the same. In preparation, I leave everything hand tight for the yard
the night before haul out. Provided it's not too windy. Sails off
That's what I have done a couple of times. It works. I'll do it again this year.

Reading these posts, I am considering a compromise that I have not done before.
I usually leave my mast up and do not do anything special with halyards. But
it seems an easy compromise would be to attach the halyard shackles to some

My partner never sailed until she met me. I bought my C&C24 5 years ago, 3
years into our relationship. She was game to try sailing, but the 1st day out

That's a bigger deal on Lake Champlain because the chop is so short compared to
bigger water.

Also, if someone could get my mast off in 15 minutes I would expect they could

I haven't removed Alianna's mast for the past 5 years at least.she is stored
on jack stands during winter (mid Oct to mid June) with the keel on a couple
of 8x8 blocks. We take care to get her level so that water runs out the

Relationships are compromise and tolerance.
I have several sailing buddies whose wives won't go near a boat. At least
they're honest and candid about their position.
