[Kevin Wright via CnC-List]

Hi Shawn,
We have a 1985 Landfall 43 in Georgian Bay, going into our 3 season. Love
the boat has all the room we need and more and it sails well for what it
is. Haven't had any major issues, like David, our engine was replaced with
a 55hp  Westerbeke and does 7 knots without any problems. The only thing we
wished it had was some sort of sugar scoop to make it easier to get in and
out of the dingy. I'm heading to the boat tomorrow to take some
transom measurements to have a swim platform fabricated to help with that.
Let us know how it turns out!

[Joel Aronson via CnC-List]

Shawn,

There is one in day charter near me in the summer (near Annapolis) and in
the islands in the winter.  I wonder if it is the same boat. Owner is
Australian if I recall correctly.  It looks a lot like a Hylas 44.   It
seemed to be in good condition looking at it from the dock and seeing it
sail by.  I think the main was pretty old.Never raced against it as we were
always going in opposite directions.

Stus-List Landfall 43 opinions

[Shawn Wright via CnC-List]

Hello all,

After years and many models considered for an offshore boat, a Landfall 43
has come along which seems to tick most of the boxes, and at a price we can
afford. Most of the boats I really like are way out of our price range
(Hylas, Passport, Tayana, etc)

So I am hoping to hear from those with direct experience with the Landfall
43 in terms of what to watch for, how they sail (I know it won't be like
our 35-2!), etc. The cored hull does make me a bit nervous, and the boat is
on the wrong coast, so a good survey will be needed. It has the original
Westerbeke 58 with about 5k hours that looks clean. I think this is the
same block as a Perkins 4-154. Pretty basic sailing setup, two mainsheets,
instead of traveller, cutter stay rigged but not used, not sure about
running backs. I would want a furler for the cutter stay, which means
running backs are probably needed. Interior looks pretty good, although
there are signs of water damage, mostly at the floor level on the starboard
side which seems odd. I would think if the boat had been flooded, the sole
would be shot, but maybe it was replaced.

We haven't made an offer yet, but might do so after talking further with
the owners. It's currently cruising in the Bahamas and will be available
next month in Florida. Yes, this is the one posted on the C FB group
yesterday, asking 49K USD. That price doesn't get us anything close in any
other boat, although might get us a Landfall 38, which is probably our next
choice.

Thanks!

Subject: Stus-List Re: General guidance for parting out lots of stuff:

So, Group…I’ve already replied to Pete’s request for help. But that made me 
think about my own situation………I own a 1977 C MKIIC…….I have continually 
upgraded it and for the past 10 years, we’ve been racing it with a crew that 
I’ve been with for over 30 years.  Yes, we’re all getting older, but in the 
process, I’ve removed a bunch of gear.  Things like all of the original 
winches, the baby stay and gear, a couple of sets of Garhauer genoa cars, and 
lots of hardware like 2 brand new Garhauer turning blocks from a C 115?
What does the group suggest for a way to list this stuff?  I’d like to keep it 
inside the C list, and while I’m in Sarasota until late May, I could be 
assembling the list by then.  Obviously, some stuff is going to be free……like 
the winches if you pay to ship them, and lots of smaller hardware just needs to 
go to a good home (boat).
