Chris, Congratulations!! Seem you have an appropriate view of boating! Somewhere between "this is amazing!" and "what the hell did I just get myself into?"

Welcome to the 30-1 club! We have a great group and cover 30's from hull number 1 to the mid 600's, and few of us are shy about what we have done to keep our boats out there. You will enjoy her.

Re: Stus-List New owner, 1980 C 30' MK1, SV "Going"
Chris — welcome to the great C club! My first sailboat was a 1981 30mkI, hull #677; after ten years, I graduated to a 1979 Landfall 38, hull #009 (I guess I’m going backwards in terms of boat age…). You’ll find LOTS of 30mkI owners on the list, and a wealth of experience about all things C If you feel it’s as good a value as most of us here do, please try to remember our volunteer host, Stu, who runs this thing out of the goodness of his heart (or sheer stubbornness… :^). This reminds me that I need to send him another donation... We generally try to encourage listers to put their name, boat type/name and where they sail at the bottom of the emails, so we can give proper advice. So it would help us to know where on the West Coast you sail. Again, welcome — and ask lots of questions, you’ll get plenty of good answers. — Fred Fred Street -- Minneapolis S/V Oceanis (1979 C Landfall 38) -- Bayfield, WI > On Jul 26, 2017, at 9:08 AM, Chris Hobson via CnC-List >wrote: > > Still squaring away the details for my second day of boat ownership on my new > (to me) 1980 C 30 MK1.
