ng new sails for both of my
  boats and I'm glad I did.  New sails just handle the wind and
  the gusts better.
   
  Another thing I noticed was
  that broker listed boats, where the broker actually returned
  calls, were, generally, more fairly priced.  I went out
  hunting a few times because some of the un-returned calls were
  on boats that looked great in the adds but, upon finding them
  on my own, I understood the un-returned calls.
   
  So, I just kept looking and
  looking and looking until something felt right.
   
  Anyway, those are my insights
  and experiences. worth every bit of $0.02 American
  or Canadian or Australian for that matter, I think!

Keep looking and don't settle. I got my 32 for
  18k, that's right in your ballpark. I was originally looking
  for 27s and 29s but I didn't find any that were reasonably
  priced or even in reasonable shape. I went to look at the 32
  on a whim because it was the closest boat to me, and a broker
  boat no less .. something I'de been avoiding up to that point.
  I had driven to NY to look at boats on the south shore of Lake
  Ontario, not a complete waste of time because it helped me
  compare and understand the market better.�
   
  And you know what? The 32, literally 5 minutes from my
house, was easily in way better shape than any of the boats
I'de looked at up to that point. I was sold on it instantly.
It was more boat than I hoped for and it was in reach. Life
is short and I can be pretty impulsive so I made an offer,
had it surveyed and bought the boat. I think the PO was
happy to get the 18k and I think he was happy to deal with
me, we got along great. Some other guy was in line before me
but he was a huge hassle for the seller. I lucked out, the
PO was a great guy.
 
�I don't race so my requirements may be different than
  yours. My boat is a freshwater boat and it surveyed well.
  The sails were worn out and I just spent $1600 (shipping
  in!) all told on a genoa from Rolly Tasker, it's a great
  sail and an incredible value. The main is still usable and
  will be for a couple of years yet. Canvas is still good,
  not great, but doesn't need replacing.  but I have
  spent a lot. I've spent money refurbishing the
  head/tanks/freshwater/wiring/instruments/stereo/solar and
  the list goes on. A boat that has had that stuff done is
  worth more, but then, if you do it yourself it's really
  YOUR boat. My boat is MY boat! I EARNED it because I fixed
  the shit out of it!�

Hi Rick
Nope, the cradle lift I refer to is essentially a trailer shaped like a 
U that they back up around the cradle.  They then fit cross bars under 
the cradle, attaching them to the trailer, and then hudraulics lift the 
whole thing up in the air.  It can be moved by a small tractor (bobcat 
or similar).  It is only a few feet high, and only for moving cradles.


Properly done stands are indeed effective, but I think a cradle is much 
more idiot proof.

The club I belonged to in Philly had an old travel lift trailer pulled by an

jack stands, I purchased a cradle because a used shipping cradle was less
expensive than new stands - but it was a PITA to move around.

By "cradle lift" I presume you mean a big forklift capable of picking up
cradle and boat from the side? I am only familiar with the term as a type of
boat lift used to lift a boat out of the water at a dock or in a boat house.

In so far as a perception that a cradle is superior to stands, I can only
say that my 38 has weathered direct impacts from Hurricanes Isobel and Irene
( and a couple of nor'easters when it was out for refit for well over a
year) on 6 stands - though I personally made sure the stands were chained
together and sitting on largeish squares of 1/2" plywood intended to keep
the gravel under the stands from getting washed away by high water.

At Mark's club (and mine) we do not have a travel lift.  So the options are
either:
1) use jackstands and go in/out with the big crane
2) buy a cradle, and be able to move with the cradle lift and launch with
the club crane

You have to remember also that where we are a bit further north than you we
end up having our boats out of the water about half the year normally.
Launch in early May, haul in October.  So a solid cradle is an asset.

Does the yard where you would lay up the boat for the winter give you
a substantial discount for not using their cradle or stands? Do you
belong to a club that requires you to provide a cradle or stands (my
club in Philly did require this)?

If you need them, 6 new stands will be less than half the cost of a
new cradle - plus they are a lot easier to move and to store than a
cradle. And you can frequently find used ones for even less.

When I needed stands or a cradle to store my 25 (at the club I joined
in
Philly) I bought a used shipping cradle from a large boat dealer. It
was half the cost of new stands, and worked just fine. If I ever do
sell my 25, the cradle will be included with the boat - it hasn't been
used in over a decade and there is no market to sell one here in the

south.

Now a trailer does make some sense if you plan to store the boat at
home over the winter to save yard fees - and you have a truck big
enough to pull a 10,000 pound boat and trailer. But do a little
research before you plan on doing that. In one city where I lived, it
was OK to store a boat or RV (or empty trailer) in your drive, but it
had to be behind a line extended out from the front wall of the house
(and I did not have a suitable concrete pad next to the house on which
to put the boat I had, so it ended up in a yard anyway).

Ron, there is a 24 at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum listed for $3500. It 
was donated, has a full complement of equipment, a four stroke outboard, decent 
sails, spinnaker gear, etc. I sailed it across the Chesapeake and it performs 
well. Needs some cosmetics. It will be auctioned off over Labor Day (US) 
weekend and may not bring that much. Look it up on CBMM.org under donated 
boats. You can buy it earlier if you want to.

The owner got too old and his family ushered him off to a care facility. He 
left everything on the boat.

I may be able to get additional pictures.

Re: Stus-List Another boat - broker vs owner

2013-08-02 Thread Dennis C.
Excellent assessment, Danny.


There's a Pearson 31 in my marina that sits idle.  I steered a friend of mine 
looking for a boat to the owner.  The guy was receptive to selling but his 
price was waaay out of line.  Chatting with the owner later, he told me he had 
just put a $4000 bottom job on it and had added that to the pricing he'd seen 
online, etc.  Totally unrealistic.  


Touche' wasn't for sale when I bought it.  I just noticed that it had been idle 
for 8 years.  I got the owners name from the marina manager, contacted him and 
worked the deal.  Fortunately, he was reasonable on price.

It's hard to find boats that might be available but not "officially" for sale.  
Because I work on boats and am around the marinas a lot, I could probably find 
some nice candidates.  I see lots of idled boats.  The dock fees are probably 
set up on automatic payments.  Out of sight, out of mind.  


Walk the piers.  Talk to owners, boat maintenance folks, marina managers, etc.  
They may suggest boats that can be purchased.

If you see a boat you like, ask if it's for sale.  No harm in asking.

Is Touche' for sale?  Absolutely!  Always.  But is it reasonably priced?  I 
doubt it.  :)

Re: Stus-List Another boat

2013-08-02 Thread Stevan Plavsa
I think Danny's assessment of broker vs owner reflects my experience
exactly. In my case, the broker I was dealing with primarily dealt with
brand new boats and more recent models. The "old" C&C 32 was an oddity
there and I think the broker really wanted to move it because it didn't
represent a commission worth working too hard for. The seller's original
asking price was much higher and he lamented to me after the sale that he
paid $50k for the boat 8 years prior.

I avoided brokers because of my experience with used car lots. I learned
that the two are totally different.

Mark,I doubt the guy is being deliberately dishonest about any of his 
descriptions.  He probably believes everything.  What I noticed as I shopped 
for a boat was that most of the brokers were more upfront about condition than 
the owners trying to sell on there own.   Lets face it, we overlook things 
sometimes as "not so bad" because either we would rather spend the boat bucks 
on something else, or it seems like too much of a pain in the butt to deal with 
right now...whatever.  The point is we convince ourselves that things are not 
as bad as they seem sometimes.  Now, add to the mix that you want someone to 
buy your boat and you have a price that you would like to get for it.  I think 
you are going to be even more willing to overlook the condition of things.  
After all, you first have to convince yourself that your asking price is fair. 
I must have looked 25 boats in my search over 2 years.  Almost non of the for 
sale by owner boats were in the condition described.  I don't think any of 
them, except one, were deliberately misrepresenting their boat.  In fact, I

brokers tell me about blistering and soft spots right over the phone.  they 
didn't want to waste their time meeting, showing, and opening up a boat if it 
wasn't as described.  I walked away disappointed from for sale by owner boats 
way more often than brokered boats. I got to a point that if the description 
did not give the age of the sails, they needed replaced.  It seemed that, if 
anyone bought sails within the previous 12, or so, years, they listed the year 
they were purchased.  My research made clear that sails are generally 
completely bagged out by 10 years unless serviced and resewn.  Then 15 years

out sails will certainly make it WAY more tender.  It's the shape that goes,

Thanks for all the comments.

Danny - Yes - I'm aware the "good condition" sails and the "year or 2" 
left in the canvas are pointing at need for replacement before long.  
Guy selling the boat seems pretty straight, so I don't think he's over 
valuing the sails and they are totally shot.
As for the Nada value and the price - it is my understanding the NADA 
value is US based, boats locally list for a lot more than that.  Not 
much I can do other than buy a boat in the US and ship/sail it back.  As 
Mike noted - the cost of that adds up quickly.  Rough quote to ship a 30 
back from NY was over $6000 by land.  I could have it sailed back for 
$2000, but I'd still have the expense of going down to look and having 
to pay for required repairs at a unfamiliar yard before it could sail home.


Bob's example of a good condition 29 for $13500 - plus the cradle ends 
up being ~$15500. Then add the cost of getting it home (either I take a 
week off work or I pay to have it sailed back) - total $17-18000.  He 
likely has better sails but the price is pretty close in the end.


In this case the boat has a pretty good trailer - value of ~ $2000, 
saving me the cost of buying a cradle.  Another 29-2 for sale locally is 
listed at $26000 with racing sails.  30's listed for $22-3 (at the 
cheaper end they are in rough shape, needing new sails and deck work).


Having looked at this boat I think I'd be happy to get it for $17000 - 
but I doubt he'll sell it for that.  Maybe I'm off in my value because 
all the boat prices are listed so high and the actual selling prices are 
much lower.


Stevan - I had my eye on a nice 32 - but it sold (apparently in 
brilliant shape and sold for ~$3).  I'd consider anything from a 29 
to a 33.  Still trying to keep costs down (total purchase and up-keep) 
while finding a boat big enough to enjoy with the kids. 29 is the 
smallest I think that could work.  When I was on a 33 2weeks ago it 
seemed huge inside, yet not much more useable space.


In the end my local options are limited and the prices are higher than 
areas with a lot more population.  I could buy cheaper but most seem to 
need more work.  I could travel, but that adds costs.  For a good 
looking boat that fits my needs and my eye, I'll pay a bit extra for 
ease of getting it local, but don't want to get fleeced.  Hopefully I 
can convince him that my price is fair, but I expect he'll think I'm 
low-balling.


Thanks for the advice
Mark

Seriously looking at another boat.  Checked out a local C&C 29 mkII on
Sunday.

-C-29-MK-II-W0QQAdIdZ474384947

Overall the boat looked good.  The paint job on the hull was rough
(needs a good sanding and new bottom coat).

The boat is on a trailer - which makes it easier to move the 90 min
drive home, and the trailer allows for easier yard management (assuming
the hoist can get the boat high enough to put it to bed).
He reports the sails in "good shape" (but no spinnaker), engine
supposedly runs well (not in water to test), hull looks good with no
dimples or dings (although there is some minor damage at the stern where

someone likely backed into a slip too hard), teak and holly sole is a
bit rough (no mold but finish is beat up), dodger and sail cover
reported to "have a year or 2 left in them", cushions ok (few years left

in fabric)

The seller is asking $22500.  Maybe offer $17000-18000 firm?

(I have had a few emails with a new list member, Bob Dryer, looking to
sell a C&C 29 II in Long Island sound for $14500 --- but that's a long
way away, hard to look at the boat plus the cost of getting it back and
the fact that I'd have to buy a cradle - all together, if I can get a

I fully agree that a local boat has substantial advantage; however, my 
experience shows that you can bring a boat to Canada from the USA for about 
$3000 (within ~2500 miles, which covers most of the continental US). Of course, 
add at least $500 to $1500 (or more) for additional expoenses (going there 
yourself, having someone do the survey for you, decommissioning the boat far 
away etc. etc.).

Re: Stus-List Another Boat - 29 mark 2

2013-08-01 Thread Gary Nylander
The 30-1 is one of the stiffest boats C&C ever built. It needs some air to 
excel. We have been sailing PHRF for 19 years and it goes very well - not so 
good in real light air, but will hold its own against other racer/cruisers, 
not so well against light weight smaller boats. In heavier stuff it goes 
very well up to about 20 apparent with a 155, up to 25 with a 140. All I 
have which is smaller is a working jib (not much heavy air around here) so I 
am not to good with it, I'm sure others who have breezier conditions can 
comment on that.


We have collected our fair share of hardware.

The comments made by others are right on regarding the price for the 29-2.
I bought a comparable 29-2 in NJ last spring for $13,500 (asking was
$15,000).
I brought it from NJ to Toronto via the Hudson / Erie Canal to avoid
shipping charges.
A new, 6 pad cradle was $1,650 CDN.

The comments about the 29 being a "tender boat" are more related to the 29
mark 1. Mark 1's have to reduce sail early to avoid being overpowered. I
have sailed them and as long as you adjust the sail area by furling the
genoa / reefing the main they are fine. The mark 1 is a much bigger boat 
at

29' 10" and it has a nav station.

The 29 mark 2 is a totally different design than the mark 1. It is a small
29 with a LOA of 28' 6" and it does not have a  nav station (who needs one
with chartplotters). The boat handles high, gusty winds on Lake Ontario
with
no problems. I have yet to get wet in the cockpit or bury the rail. The
boat
is initially somewhat "tender" but once she heels, she stiffens up 
quickly.

Again as long as you reduce sail accordingly as the wind builds the boat
will handle anything that the Lake can throw at it. I race the boat at a
Wednesday night Club level where we do reasonably well. I need a new genoa
(genoa on the boat was ~ 10 years old; Main was about 2 years; like new
cruising chute at time of purchase) to improve performance if racing

All said, I love this boat.
Small enough to single hand or handle with a small crew yet spacious 
enough

to do some cruising.

Re: Stus-List Another boat

2013-08-01 Thread Pat Nevitt
Ok my 2 cents. I owned a 29-2 for 4 years and just sold it last November. The 
boat is not overly tender like the 29-1 if you sail it well balanced. It likes 
15 degrees of heel.  I could sail it with 2 people in 16-17 kts with 2 people 
close hauled and take my hands off the wheel and let her fly for 5 min without 
touching the wheel. 

 In 2 years I did the following to mine:  bottom striped and new burnished race 
bottom applied; all new TackTick instruments; all new running rigging; new 
folding prop; all new Spinlock rope clutches (8); refinished floors; new 
batteries; new North Radian main; new 3DL #1; new curtains; all new main cover 
and wheel cover; new upgraded traveler; new GPS and backup depth finder; new 
graphics; all new lightweight spinnaker gear; carbon spin pole; etc.  In the 
end the boat was very well appointed and fast. It was a nice boat to start 
with; I made it better. I asked $19k US for it and got $17.5.  I had a lot more 
than that in it but felt it was market correct. 

If you put decent sails on it the main will run about $2500 and a nice North 
3DL #1 will set you back $3200. Of course if you don't plan on racing it, you 
can get by for less. 

The reality is, the 29-2 is a small 29 footer but has good space down below but 
a slightly cramped cockpit. For comparison I would look at an S-2 9.1 that is a 
large 30 footer and rates 45 seconds faster.

I agree with earlier comments about the 29 pricing and Danny's insights about 
the sails and perils of "boat shopping", (there's a whole other topic right 
there!). But don't discount the 29; its a fast boat and will move in light air; 
point like nobody else out there and is not too difficult to maintain.  If its 
in good shape overall, plan on buying the new sails and go sailing!

money. I'm under the impression that the 29 is a tender boat.

Hello Dr. Mark,

I looked at a couple of Cal 29s in my search.  What put me off them was some 
articles I found about a steel beam that has a tenancy to corrode away, between 
the sole and the hull.  There is a great deal of fiberglass work to get at it 
and repair it.  I believe its function was as a mast step support.

There is (or was) a pretty good website out there where a guy documented the 
repair really well.

I'm wondering though, what is it that makes the local C&C worth 50% more than 
the NADA value.  "a year or 2" left on the canvass?  that sounds like end of 
life to me.  The sails are in "good shape?"  How old are they?  I've heard 
these terms in my search and it always turned out to be an exaggeration on 
condition.  You need to go in thinking you need new sails and canvass unless 
you know how old the sails are or you can see for yourself what condition the 
canvass is in.

My boat has, last year, brand new sails, canvass, motor, standing rigging etc. 
etc. etc...  I think I'd be lucky to get $22,500 for it.  I only had the boat 
out 6 times last year and brought the canvass and sails to the sail loft for 
inspection, repair and storage.  I could not believe the things that needed 
done.  There were signs of chafing already and they reinforced those areas.

Sails take a beating, assume the worst, there is probably $2500 - $4000 right 
there.  If this guy had his sails serviced every year, he would have said that.

It's still a buyer's market out there.  Sounds like a pretty steep price tag to 
me...

Seriously looking at another boat.  Checked out a local C&C 29 mkII on 
Sunday.

http://novascotia.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-boats-watercraft-sailboats-C-C-29-MK-II-W0QQAdIdZ474384947

Overall the boat looked good.  The paint job on the hull was rough 
(needs a good sanding and new bottom coat).

The boat is on a trailer - which makes it easier to move the 90 min 
drive home, and the trailer allows for easier yard management (assuming 
the hoist can get the boat high enough to put it to bed).
He reports the sails in "good shape" (but no spinnaker), engine 
supposedly runs well (not in water to test), hull looks good with no 
dimples or dings (although there is some minor damage at the stern where 
someone likely backed into a slip too hard), teak and holly sole is a 
bit rough (no mold but finish is beat up), dodger and sail cover 
reported to "have a year or 2 left in them", cushions ok (few years left 
in fabric)

The seller is asking $22500.  Maybe offer $17000-18000 firm?

(I have had a few emails with a new list member, Bob Dryer, looking to 
sell a C&C 29 II in Long Island sound for $14500 --- but that's a long 
way away, hard to look at the boat plus the cost of getting it back and 
the fact that I'd have to buy a cradle - all together, if I can get a 
local boat for $4000 the price is pretty even)

NADA average value of a 1983 C&C 29 II is $13000
-
Also - Thinking of looking at a Cal 9.2, 1982, listed at $2
http://halifax.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-boats-watercraft-sailboats-Cal-9-2-Sailboat-Price-Reduced-W0QQAdIdZ493465591
(NADA value at $13800)
Plus another Cal 9.2 listed at $15K (but no pictures).

Any thoughts?  I'm not familiar with the Cal boats.  Reading online the 
comments are that the Cal is more tender and that the diesel is raw 
water cooled (which can lead to more issues as they age). Overall online 
comments are not positive - seems the design may play to the worst parts 
of the IOR rules. Also some negative comments about decks etc.

I don't want a poorly behaved boat that I can't manage in gusty winds or 
something that will ruin sailing for the kids --- maybe I'm answering my 
own thoughts on the Cal? Can't say I like the way the pinched rear end 
looks either!

Any thoughts appreciated,
Mark
