Mike I am discovering the things you write about - "make it as it should be",
"lavishing attention on our boats", etc. My wife has noticed that last one too
:) I've been using the excuse "I'm just doing what the boat deserves"!
How does that joke go again? A psychiatrist told a patient that men have boats
because they can't have mistresses, but the psychiatrist got it backwards. Men
have mistresses when they can't have boats :)

Maybe more than it could be sold for but definitely not more than it is worth.
Worth is measured in more than dollars and the reality is that to take any boat
and make it as it should be can be many thousands or tens of thousands more
than the purchase price. The only difference as I see it is that spending
$20,000 on regular maintenance on a newer $250,000 boat seems more normal than
doing so on an older $40,000
boat. They are both still sailboats and cost the same to run.
Lavishing attention on our boats is often reward enough by itself and some may
suggest that it is more rewarding to some of us than doing the same to people!

Persistence
Also spent way too much over the past 4 years (and the 10+ before that!)

I have sailed and raced my 39TM at least 100,000 miles since purchase in 1975
and even with the original rudder never suffered the round up issued mention
earlier in the thread. However, in late 1976 C&C sent me a new and updated
deeper
rudder "free of charge" and the boat just simply sailed even better. Then in
2002, I had new high aspect rudder designed and built for Honey and improvement
was beyond belief. Sadly, the maintenance, new UK sails & general upkeep over
the last 4 years costs
more than the boat is worth. I can honestly say that our C&C 39 TM has aged
like a fine wine, after 42 years of owning her she just keeps getting better, I
just wish that her value would increase as well.
I agree, the 39 is the prettiest of the hulls that C&C built and they built
some damn good looking boats.
Best regards,
Jack Fitzgerald

I wonder if a short bowsprit and moving the forestay out half a foot would
solve the roundup issue.
My 35 MK I looks a lot like a 39 with a few feet cut off and we don’t suffer
that round-up issue to that extent at all.
