Mike, I've been looking at purchasing a C-38 and have been reading through  
the archives. Look back for the post titled "Death Role" lots of good  advice.

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.?

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.
