[C38] trying to sell her

[Marci Brown]

Patrick,
 
I'm the new owner of Jim Williams' C38. She's a fabulous boat and definitely
worth the price we paid. Do you have the deep keel or the shoal keel? The
deep keel is challenging to "obey" at 6'9", but in sufficiently deep waters,
that keel keeps her steady, solid, and responsive in the water--so it
shouldn't be a deterrent to people who appreciate the C38. Hang in there. In
my opinion, most people have made their boat purchases for the season. You
might not see any solid bites until Spring 07. If you boat is in excellent
condition, the asking price of $29K is very reasonable.

Patrick,
 
She looks like a great cruising boat.  I suspect that a lot of cruising
folks in your area are afraid of the draft.  The racers may not be
interested because they would need to spend about $20,000 more to get her to
the starting line.
 
I also think that there is a trend to design cruising boats to look good at
boat shows.  Some of the modern high-freeboard boats that carry their
maximum beam all the way to the transom, and in doing so totally miss the
point that it should be a sailboat first.  From my perspective the C38 is a
sheer delight to sail in anything but the lightest winds, and the fact that
she is roomy and comfortable below is just an added bonus.
 
By the way - the pictures make the salon table look small.  Is it big enough
to make the settee into a bed?

Hello all, I'm trying with little luck to sell my c38. If anyone has any
leads that would be great but what I really wanted to ask is why do you
think I've had so little intrest. I mean this seems like a great deal on a
great boat ...am I missing something? Check out the ad and let me know what
you think. Thanks!
