A friend of mine is pretty impressed with a 1981 LF38 for sale at Ashley Yachts in Charleston, SC and is close to making an offer on her. Jim is interested in a strong and comfortable boat for retirement cruising on the ICW starting this coming winter. He has sailed several times on my 38 mk2 and appreciates the build quality and performance, and the amenities in a LF38 are attractive to his Admiral. He has already seen the boat, and has asked me to go back with him to take a closer look at the mechanical systems before finalizing an offer.
The name of the boat is "True Love". The listing on Yacht World is: http://www.yachtworld.com/boats/1981/C <http://www.yachtworld.com/boats/1981/C&C-Landfall-2842472/Mt-Pleasant/SC/Un ited-States#.VX9bgMtRH3g> &C-Landfall-2842472/Mt-Pleasant/SC/United-States#.VX9bgMtRH3g Does anyone know anything about this boat or its history. I'm a bit curious about the new rudder. I also note that the tankage listed is different from the original spec sheet on an LF38. Do any of the LF owners on here see anything in the photographs on Yacht World that require further investigation, or anything that strikes you as especially desirable? Finally, if this gets to the offer stage, Jim will need to have the boat surveyed. Does anyone have a recommendation for a surveyor in the Charleston area, especially one with C&C experience? A surveyor named David Hill was recommended to my friend; does anyone have experience with him or knowledge of his past performance? Thanks for the help and advice.
