Question for Rob: At the time, was the fact that C&Cs seem to be owned far longer than most boats ever discussed ? Was this considered a good or bad thing? We have owned Coquina since 1977 and she is – knock on FRP – on track to be sailed by the third generation. I have sailed her since I was 12. I recall a frustrated C&C broker telling me “No one trades up. Catalina owners buy boats every 5 years and you all keep them for decades!”
Joe Coquina C&C 35 MK I BTW – thread creep – Having a C&C 35 in the early or mid 70s was like having a Ferrari when everyone else had a golf cart. We bought one because someone else had one on the river and that boat passed the rest of us like we were aground ☺
