Walk through C&C 27 Mark V 1986

[@thomandstacieverroad8417]

Had one of these. '74 c.c. 27. Hung that beautiful boat on every sand bar in Tampa Bay. You wouldn't believe how shallow Tampa Bay is. Depth finder was useless against the sudden and often appearance of the sand bars there but I learned to sail on that hunny and learned how to winch off almost any aground lol.

I just bought a '72 C&C 27 in St. Pete as a new sailor. Definitely would like a shallower draft for this area, but the deal was too good to pass up. Any advice for avoiding sand bars? Did you do any serious damage to the hull as a result of this?

Not much of a boat in 27'. Would be far better to save some more money and find a 29. The 29 is a FAR superior vessel and exponetially more enjoyable to sail, operate and own.
