Hi All, as you may know, I sold my C25 and accedentally bought a C27 on eBay. I have to say that out of the four C27 sites out there (with only about 6 to 8 participants per site) this site is great. It must be all the hard work that everyone puts into keeping it going and intereseting, but if you don't mind a C27 owner hanging around, I think I'll stay here. Cheers.

Go ahead and hang around..experience is always needed. Plus, I never know when I might "accidentally" buy a bigger boat as well.

That was why the Admiralty forum was created, so prior owners would have a place to go. Not that you are relegated to just that forum mind you, but we wanted to encourage continued participation.

Dennis I AGREE. The support and patients here is amazing. I see and ask questions that I know have been asked, yet the folks here politely answer them. I have been sailing small race boats for 0ver 30 years since I was a kid. The C25 offers some challenges that I never had to face on small race boats. My son and I are enjoying the boat and look forward to continually improving it. She was in good shape when I bought her, but some tlc and elbow grease have made her look fantastic. Thanks for all the answers.

Yes this Association is tremendous. I looked for (a 22) and bought a C-25 because I had such good experiences with the C-22 20 years ago, but the support, and yes esailor comradery and patience I've found here is unbelievable. ANYTHING you run in to has been conquered here. I have a feeling I'll be really disappointed with future forums and will want the admiralty forum to visit. Thanks everyone for making the upkeep of my boat so easy.

P.S. As long as I'm saluting the C-25 and this association, how about a short look at what we're so in love with? [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejXeRHsWXAQ"]click here[/url]

After seeing some of the new boats at Strictly Sail on Saturday I could see accidentally getting a 309 or 350 for retirement.
