I've got a question. We bought our C-38 about four years ago and was told by
the previous owner that we should never sail her with a spinnaker. He said
that running down wind with a spinnaker she would roundup very easy and that
was a good way to loose her. Is this true?

Hello Mike and Buck,
Our C38 is our first big boat. My family and I put 1000 miles under the
keel last Winter. Then I put another 1000 miles under the keel bringing
the boat up the East Coast last April. Then we spend another five weeks
aboard as a family this Summer past.
Love love love our boat. Great sailer and a great value. Good looking too!

Russ, Thank you very much for your input. I have considered the tankage
issue. Water maker would be one of the first additions. My C-27 has a 20
gallon
waste tank, so I'm already dialed into that situation. BTW I have averaged
over 250 days a year under sail since I've owned my boat. I need an
"excuse" to
stay tied to the dock. ;-) Definitely not a dockside condo. Thanks again.

We lived aboard our C-38 for almost a year and a half up on Lake Erie in
Michigan. There were four of us; my wife, 2 ? year old son, 4 year old
daughter,
and myself. Oh yeah, and our two cats. It actually wasn?t too bad. I think
doing it yourself would be a piece of cake. The only real PIA?s were the
water
and waste tank sizes. Once I added a city water hook up, the fresh water
was taken care of, now the only hassle to deal with was the holding tank.
Though this gives you a good excuse to take the boat out: ?Gotta? go pump
out so
I might as well take her for a sail.?
Sincerely,

Howdy All
I've been reading your post with great interest. I'm the proud owner of a
C-27 #5966 and am looking to move up and out in my sailing adventures. The
C-38 has caught my eye. I'm a relatively new sailor, four years now. I've
raced
(beer can) on my C-27(solo) as well as crewed on a J-22 ("we" have the
local
cup for two years running) I've also crewed on an IP370 across the Gulf of
Mexico as well as trailered my C-27 to BC (Solo-Gulf Islands to Desolation)
for
a couple of months this past summer. Now back in Colorado freezing my buns
off. Anyway limited experience. I was wondering what "owners" of C-38's
would
think of having a C-38 for a live aboard / cruising boat for a solo sailor.
I'm ready to get off the grid and have been looking for boats to accomplish
this goal. BC was great but a little more waterline would be nice. With my
limited experience, I still tend towards faster vs heavier displacement,
with a
heavy dose of conservatism. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
