[C38] trying to sell her

[dpooch]

Mr Porter,
       I have #39 I am sure #247 is nice. I agree with you 100%. I am no racer today but was a Hobie racer back in the day. I love hearing dang whats he doing as I go by. I knew nothing about a c38 when I found this one in Boaca 10 years ago. I just looked at her lines from the stern from a bridge and fell in love. I knew she was fast. My PO was a cruiser and told me when with other boats you have to drag the dink with the engine down or heave to so they can keep up. I am usually in the hole, hook down, fender board on the fat girl, fires started, and waiting to eat when the gang shoes up.

  Any racer worth his (or her) salt would jump at the opportunity to own a C38.  Solid racing hull and excellent accomodations down below.  I've had mine for 5 years and paid close to twice what you are asking. At that, it was the deal of the century!  She does very well in all conditions save winds under 6 knots but a bit of work there and you can stay in the running.

  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?
