Hi Andy, thanks for the invite, likewise to you and any other members of the list. I am at the SW corner of main harbor. You would recognize Sundowner as it’s the only boat in the harbor with Fourwinds II, a large 2-blade wind generator. Granted it’s the peak of the season and at anytime someone else might show up with another Fourwinds II. The hull is flag blue.
Burt, you sound like me when I first bought Sundowner. As far as cushion covers, if you have the time and are a DIY, get a portable sewing machine, like the Sailrite. Then you can make the cushions yourself and after that you can make the cockpit nice and comfortable as well. That sewing machine is worth it’s weight in gold. Also, if you tinkered enough with the A4, and when that time comes, get a used diesel and re-build it yourself. Few years back, while on the hard, using halyards and boom, we hoisted a re-built westerbeke 40 up and in. That was a site to see. Because my engine room is so tight, I could not assemble major parts with a diesel like I did so many times with the A4, right there in the engine room. So I had to hoist a fully loaded westerbeke block weighing somewhere around 450 lbs up and in. That re-build and install was a tough DIY job, but I couldn’t be happier. I plan to spend a week away this month but let me know what your plans are. You’re welcome to grab my mooring if I’m away.

I am happily renewing my 1974 33 foot 3/4ton without breaking the bank and I am virtually certain the value of the boat will increase beyond the money I am spending. Like anything, if you buy right and have some talent you have opportunity to invest a bit without worrying about losing your hard earned $$. I paid almost nothing for a complete and solid yet neglected hull with a very nice rig. Replacing all the windows and hatch lenses with polycarbonate cost less than $600. Renewing the interior will cost me some stripping supplies, varnish and paint. The cushion covers will be the biggest expense. Next year the hull and deck will get a new paint job. I will also completely re-wire both AC and DC systems. When I am done it will be very pretty and comfortable I will be into it for about $4k total, including the purchase of the boat….. (I do the bulk of the work myself) I am not including the normal cost of owning and using a boat. Now if I start doing things like a new diesel, radar, etc, it would quickly become a losing proposition but I like the A-4. I am on the lookout for a used radar/chartplotter in case anyone comes across something tempting.. Peter, we will with any luck be in Newport sometime later this month for a well-earned weekend on the hook. I’ll keep an eye out for the Sundowner.

That will never sell at that price. It’s a balsa cored production sailboat. Not a Hinckley or Alden. On the other hand, note to myself don’t look for used sailboats in the Bay area.

A fully tweaked C&C 43. Beautiful lines. Sweet sheerline and love how the cabintop blends into the foredeck. Great upgrades. First class job, but I don't think they'll get half of what they are asking. There are so many other choices on the market for less than $175K.
