Hello Mark
You might want to recheck with the club, I believe the rating on the
club crane is about 6000 lbs and from what I see the C&C 30 is around
8000 lbs. Also check the height clearance. I previously had an Aloha
27, it was a tight fit. I'm not aware of any 30 footers that get hauled
with that crane. That said, the annual big crane launch and haul isn't
much of a problem. And I have not examined the numbers, it may be possible.
I've sailed on Jeff's C&C 30, it is a fine boat and sailed well in what
I'd guess was > 25 knots. He keeps it at AYC. There are lots of others
in the neighborhood.
Hope the search goes well.

Hi All,
I'm new to the list. Just joined up as I'm getting serious about
moving up to a bigger boat.
Currently sail a Mirage 24 in Halifax NS Canada, bought it last year,
loved getting back on the water, but it's a little small to spend much
time aboard with my 4 kids.
After extensive online research and scanning Yachtworld and local
boats I've narrowed down on trying to get a C&C 30. Seems to be the
right size - small enough to singlehand, and light enough for our club
crane to hoist, but still big enough to spend some time out on the water.
I've read most everything on the C&C site, including a bunch of the
mailing list archives. Was on a local boat here the other day -
getting an idea of the size and space.
I know the mast step is prone to softening, and the ports will likely
need replacement (if not done already), plus there are the typical
issues with the deck core, chainplates, standing rigging etc that can
be problematic with any older boats.
Any specific advice on things I need to watch for? I have someone
I've chatted with on SailNet who has offered to check out one boat for
me (in Long Island NY there is a nice looking 30 for sale - new diesel
in 2000, well fitted out)
Thanks in advance for the advice,
Mark
