If you stress test any laminate that includes kevlar that's where it will de-laminate every time. I know of one that delaminated in a female mold just due to a very clumsy rolling over process. The very worst thing about Kevlar: it absorbs water aggressively. So paint damage can lead to the entire structure absorbing water, breaking the bonds at the molecular level, resulting in no structure whatsoever. https://www.proboat.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/cindarellarepairs126low.pdf 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
12 metre 344 #1705 Posted July 9, 2020 On 6/22/2020 at 10:39 AM, Maxx Baqustae said: Found this from my files now. This was when it was in Surrey by the Sea (Nanaimo) being used as a liveaboard I think. A whole a lot crap on it but has been a little"unphuqued" now. I didn't believe it when I saw it. Nice treatment for the dodger! You nailed it with those photos. I don't know if the photos in the ad were taken when the current owner bought her or if they are current. But I saw her in Nanaimo in the winter of 2018 and she looked pretty much exactly like the photos you posted. Didn't know whether to laugh, cry, or throw up. If you look look closely, you can see Home Depot 2x4 "bulwarks" nailed, screwed, or glued (I can't remember which) to the deck inside the toe rails IIRC. But to illustrate how little old IOR boats can be bought for - Mad Max sold last year and was advertised at CAD 10k. And she was pretty immaculate and had a new engine/saildrive installed a year before. Would be a handful to sail for anyone with cruising or even beer can racing aspirations. I thought about making an offer for her - for about 5 seconds. Way too much hassle owning a boat like that. But for someone with some hotshot dinghy sailor friends she could have been a great buy. Race her for a year or two with little or no maintenance expenditures. Then part her out or send her to the landfill once things start falling apart. Or find someone like the guy who bought Kelea and turn her into a roomy and inexpensive "blank canvas" liveaboard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My automatic guess in these situations is that it's a rustball original to the boat with 5000+ hours and terrible access to filters and dipsticks. I always hope to be proven otherwise!

Boat is currently in Shalimar. Engine is inop. Sounds like the flywheel has come loose and starter engages it but it is the only thing that turns... and bangs around inside. Yanmar 2GM maybe rebuidable. The sails and rigging are decent, the hull is good. I have pulled and cleaned the cushions. Decent Raymarine Chartplotter and Auto Pilot. Depth Finder / Fish Finder work.

The boat is listed with all the gear for long passages, and someone has made the effort to modify it with electric propulsion for getting in and out of port. On the other hand, the head looks like a johnny-house and the sink has no water. But I believe there is some underlying charm to this boat. Some rugged soul could love it.

Sail4beer 2,009 #1776 Posted November 28, 2020 That’s a great boat. Creekmores are underrated in my opinion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sail4beer 2,009 #1777 Posted November 28, 2020 And here is Reuel Parker’s latest, his Deadrise Yacht. I motored around it when it was in our bay this past spring on its way north to Maine for the summer. A very unique yacht to say the least Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought the plan was for that to be his liveaboard... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elegua 687 #1779 Posted November 28, 2020 I saw that boat on Lake Worth. Impressive. Also very impressive dinghy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sail4beer 2,009 #1780 Posted November 28, 2020 I didn’t get a chance to meet him and ask about the particulars of the boat, however, he seems to enjoy the hunt more than the kill. I suppose he has some new awesome project that he’s neck deep into already...he makes me look like a lazy dog His dinghies are impressive as well, they are not included in the sale Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The benefit of this project is it's only 15% un-completed, as opposed to the usual 85% complete. https://miami.craigslist.org/brw/boa/d/pompano-beach-creekmore-cc-cutter-semi/7232031032.html That looks like it really is 85% (or more) complete.

SloopJonB 7,937 #1782 Posted December 7, 2020 This looks like a sweet deal. Known as one of C&C's best - the 43's came out of the custom shop IIRC. I seem to recall we had a friend right here who restored one and was only asking $300K or so for it. https://vancouver.craigslist.org/nvn/boa/d/west-vancouver-north-1981-cc-43-custom/7242942291.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Excellent size. Leather in winter is cold, but it sure looks good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Leeroy Jenkins 200 #1785 Posted December 7, 2020 Is it important to have that size of crew to sail? To sail fast? I hate it when there's no pictures of how the deck is set up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hate it when there's no pictures of how the deck is set up. So it’s still got it’s halyard winches on the mast...which means (as an IOR race boat) it’s still probably set up for a full crew of 10-12 folks... Can it be sailed by less? Sure. Can the deck layout be improved to make it easier to sail with less? Sure. But it’s a 43 foot race boat designed for a crew of 10-12...IOR ballast to displacement ratios were never all that high as you’d be penalized...so crew on the rail was a design “consideration”..... Beautiful boat, and looks to be in really nice shape!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Son of Hans 7 #1788 Posted December 7, 2020 That is most certainly not the original C&C 43 (details below). The last of those was built around 1974 or so and looks rather different. I can't be quite sure by comparing the pictures to my foggy memory, but this boat looks a lot like the custom 42 (my project) that was first launched in about '76, but I didn't think that the series lasted until '81. I know that a couple were started on spec and may have hung around that long. There may also have been subsequent models in that size range, but IDK about that. Either way it’s most likely a Bruckmann-built boat and a sweet deal if that is the sort of boat you want. And, yes, it would be an IOR-inspired design, meaning not quite as stable as one would like for cruising purposes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know a family who cruised their 43 without drama when their kids were young. Most C&C designs from the 70s, 80s and 90s are balanced sweet sailors with very few exceptions. If serious about the model, go to cncphotoalbum.com and join the email list. Great resource and a great bunch of folks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
