Speaking of C25's for sale, someone posted a C25 for sale on one of the bulletin boards at my work. I think it was an early 80's fin. Asking price was $3,000.00.

I like the mirror, it makes the cabin seem larger and the cut outs in the starboard bulkhead are interesting as well. Stucturally, they should be round not oval. Cheers. p.s., if I had a mirror that large, I would spend most of my time primping.

Thanks Don. A friend of mine, after sailing my boat is now looking for one. I will pass on the Greigs list boat. Speaking of Graig's list, I saw a C30 with no mast or motor that looked interesting as a long term project. There was no price though. I just don't have the room here to take it on. Cheers.

Regarding the C-25 on eBay ... does anyone else think the swing keel looks a bit strange? Maybe it's just the angle of the photograph, but it looks to me like the keel is hanging by the starboard keel bolts only ...

When I first looked at the listing, I thought this was a steal ... $2800 for boat, motor, AND trailer ... but, it appears to be a "reserve" auction ... it would be interesting to know where the seller set the reserve price.

Now that you mention it, Buzz, the keel DOES look like it has issues!

Looking at it more closely, it could simply be an optical illusion, but it sure does fool the eye.

You are right, it looks like it has or is trying to fall off. Nice rudder though. Cheers.

Canting 25's has a nice ring to it. Where in the world can you buy a house on the water that SAILS for $ 3000.- Not only that, but upkeep isn't that big a deal AND if something bad happens you don't have to throw out soggy carpeting and a smelly refrigerator and hope that the gov't. or insurance co. will give you a hand. You can just get another one for $ 3000.- SWEET.

Trying to read the helms lips in that pic.. I think he is politely indcicating that the bilge pump is the 2000 gals per hour model!
Either that or hs is asking the crew to tighten up on the jib!
