Seller's Description

We are selling our C&C Landfall 38 sailboat that we have owned for the last 11 years and lived aboard for the last 2, because we have recently purchased another sailboat. Overall, the boat is in good condition for the year. It has an original Yanmar 3HM Engine that starts well and has good compression on all 3 cylinders. After sitting at the dock for 3 months last year. it has developed a power issue when under load. Since then, we have polished the fuel, changed both fuel filters, installed a new fuel lift pump, installed a new air filter, had a diver check the prop was not fouled and clean of barnacles. We have had all fuel hoses removed and cleared with high pressure air, removed, and cleaned the fuel intake from the fuel tank, replaced all 3 injectors. One injector could not be removed, so we had the head removed, had the head dipped in acid to clean it and replaced everything with a new head gasket etc. We have removed the mixing elbow to check it was 100% clear, checked and cleaned the exhaust manifold. Removed the fuel tank, emptied it completely, cleaned the tank and replaced with fresh and treated diesel. Checked the fuel tank vent pipe was clear. Replaced all the hoses from the exhaust mixing elbow to the exhaust outlet with new hose. Replaced the exhaust muffler/water lock with a brand new one. Changed the oil and the oil filter. Had the valve lash double checked. Done a compression check on all 3 cylinders. The prop shaft turns easily by hand in neutral and the engine alignment in good. When the prop shaft is disconnected from the transmission and we perform the same test, there is no power issue and it changes into and out of gear easily, so we know the transmission is ok. After all this time and investment, we have been advised the power issue is to do with the fuel injector pump. We have been quoted $600 to service the pump and $750 labor to remove and reinstall. Because of this power issue we have priced the boat appropriately and are open to reasonable offers. The boat is very comfortable inside and sleeps 7 (6 easily).

Equipment: It has a brand-new windlass (never used). It has a Danforth anchor with chain and rope. The sails and running rigging are all in good condition and it has a Harken roller furling system for the jib. The lifelines have been replaced with stainless steel and are in good condition. The boat has a in board fuel polishing system. It has a small GPS chart plotter and a VHF radio. It has a brand-new Whale manual bilge pump and 2 electric bilge pumps. The 2-burner stove and oven are in excellent condition. There is a separate gas grill. The boat was previously owned by a professional sailmaker, and it has a barely used full boat shade cover ideal for the Caribbean (or even North Carolina sometimes!) It has a functioning head and clean holding tank. It has 3 freshwater tanks holding 107 gallons, with a new water pump and many of the pipes have been replaced in the last 2 years. The boat is registered with the USCG.

Calculations

Hull Speed
8.0 kn
Classic: 7.36 kn

Hull Speed

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Formula

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

7.95 knots
Classic formula: 7.36 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
15.9
<16: under powered

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

Formula

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3

  • SA: Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
  • D: Displacement in pounds.
15.87
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
38.9
<40: less stiff, less powerful

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Formula

Ballast / Displacement * 100

38.92
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
271.1
200-275: moderate

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

Formula

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet
271.11
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
28.9
20-30: coastal cruiser

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Formula

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet
  • LOA: Length overall in feet
  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
28.86
<20: lightweight racing boat
20-30: coastal cruiser
30-40: moderate bluewater cruising boat
40-50: heavy bluewater boat
>50: extremely heavy bluewater boat
Capsize Screening
1.9
<2.0: better suited for ocean passages

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

Formula

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
1.88
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

The LANDFALL 38 shares the same hull design as the C&C 38-2 but with a shallower keel, shorter rig and entirely different interior. Built at C&C’s Rhode Island (USA) plant.
