I'd be concerned on condition. The great price might be offset by the fact that is needs a lot. 42 is a big boat! You're leaning to sail now? I'm a big fan of starting small and working your way up! you have a working boat now, why not just go with that for a while and learn how to sail? I started boating in a 16 footer and my first sailboat was a 22 footer. Being swamped by people in big ass boats because they were oblivious to their surroundings makes me believe that all boaters should start in small boats to gain that perspective and consideration. Of course, that's more for power boaters... short rant over! LOL DannyLolitaViking 33Westport Point, MA

Date: Sat, 5 Jul 2014 10:36:10 -0400 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.

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 C&C), 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.

I have fallen in a love with the brand of C&C and am really enjoying sailing even though I have only owned the boat a couple months. I am a single 31 year old guy, but I have been thinking a 35-45 footer may have been a better move. There was a 1980 42' foot Landfall sent to me for about the same about of money that I have into my 30 footer! What is every one's thoughts and advice? I am trying to temper my impulsiveness and just learn on and enjoy my 30' to make sure its a sport/lifestyle/hobby for me but dangling the Landfall in front of me for such a great price is tempting!!!
