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!

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,

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.
