Hello C&C Owners,
I've been daysailing on other people's Martin 242s out of the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club for several years now and am now trying to figure out how much it would cost to own a boat. From my research thus far, I've found information about the costs of purchasing a boat, mooring it and insuring it, but very little in the way of the costs of operating and maintaining it. At present, I'm not very handy, but willing to try to do simple DIY and the lower-skill grunt work.
So my questions for the forum: if I were to purchase a C&C 27 and sail it out of Vancouver, what's a reasonable amount to budget for maintenance and upgrades for a boat that will be primarily a cruiser? I have about $15000 to put into the cost of acquiring and getting it shipshape, if that helps with the answers - I know that it will be somewhat difficult to get a precise estimate, but ball park is good enough for me.
Lastly, if there is anyone sailing out of Vancouver looking for crew and someone who is looking to learn boat maintenance by helping out with someone else's, let me know.
