I'm another one of those "wanna-be" C&C 27 owners and I'm hoping that someone from this amazing website could help me. I've found a pretty nice 1975 Mk III that is in good shape but definitely has a few defects that I'm concerned about and being a very inexperienced sailor (i.e. this would be my first "real" sailboat) I need help.
I'm pretty new to the Vancouver area so I don't know many sailors in the area and have no idea how to find a reliable, honest and skilled surveyor. I'd be extremely grateful if anyone could help steer me in the right direction.
Thanks so much, Craig

A bit off-topic, but a point that needs to be made - all sailboats are "real", even Grampians and, though I choke to admit it, Hunters. Small sailboats, which I assume is what you mean by not-real sailboats, are exciting and fun, and will teach you far more, more quickly, than keelboats. Because everything is more immediate and accessible on a dinghy, you can learn a lot about the relative forces and loads on a sailboat, and what you can do with or about them.
Don't apologize for being inexperienced - do something about it. Even if you consider yourself a reasonably good sailor, join a good learn-to-sail program in dinghies or very small keelboats aimed at people around your level. Your sailing of your 27, when you find it, will be better and more confident.
