I'm interested in opinions of a '77 C&C 29. There is one named "Tooth & Nail" that has been for sale in Vancouver for some time now. The photos look good, apparently has a good sail inventory, decent Yanmar engine, wheel steering. Apparently a popular local race boat (so it may be beat up?)
It doesn't seem likely that we're going to find a 35' this season, so I'm looking at smaller, cheaper boats so we can begin sailing while still keep an eye out for the right boat. At the moment, the smaller, cheaper boats include a very well kept Ericson 29, and this C&C 29, both for around $12K CAD. One reason I overlooked the 29 in the past was based on where it sits on the stability diagram - right at the top among the most tender of all boats. How serious a concern is this for cruising as keelboat beginners? I don't want to scare my wife, who has very little sailing experience, with a very tender boat. She gets uncomfortable when sailing on a friend's Macgregor 26, which seems to heel over at the slightest gust. -- Shawn Wright shawngwri...@gmail.com
