My LF38 is an '83 with hull number 230. So, is your year built or hull number
in error?

I think I may have passed along a tale sent to me from the original
owner of Prime Interest - Hull #229 - to Spencer and Bob already but
here it is again.
'When we contacted C&C sales about a Landfall 38, they had one in the
showroom. By the time we found financing (TD @ 16%) that one was sold.
None in stock and next production run not till springtime. Not good for
us as we wanted to put her in charter in the Florida Keys to help pay
the bills. The salesman thought he had seen one sitting in the yard in
Niagara-on-the-Lake but C& C 's inventory showed 'none'. He drove down
to check the yard and sure enough in the back was #229. notice the odd
number? This all happened shortly after a bunch of monied hotshots had
bought out Cassion and Cuthbertson. New management brought layoffs etc.
Senior staff were given a boat of choice at cost as part of the
package.The production manager at some point saw the writing on the wall
and added an additional Landfall 38 to the next batch. Over time work
orders were added for oversize winches, subtracted after installation,
same with spinnaker gear, teak ceilings in the bunks etc. Doesn't say
much for control. However, no one wanted to get rid of the production
manager.- until the salesman walked in to the office and said "what do
you mean you don't have a Landfall 38 in inventory?" Our purchase price
was revise 3 times until I put my foot down. A full audit was done and
we negotiated the final price. This story is hearsay of course but she
was called "The Golden Handshake" by the lads on the shop floor while
she was there.'
Prime Interest was commissioned November 1982 in Niagara-on-the-Lake.
