I have a CL16 that has been sitting around my cottage un-used for years and was wondering what the best way to sell it is?
What price range?
The hull is probably from the early 90s late 80s, its in sailable condition with no issues, comes with trapeze.
As you can tell I really dont know to much about it.
Please help, ThanksIP: 24.156.86.129 |

If you want to know the year...look at the transom. The hull number should include the year of manufacture. Your sail number should help also. Some people, like me, are willing to pay a premium for a late model creampuff when buying a sailboat.
You should list the location of the boat.
I've seen some steep prices asked by places like 'Shining Waters'...north of Toronto.IP: 142.167.227.67 |

might be a good idea to check the keel & rudder. Up to a point they were made of plywood, but CL changed over to fiberglass.
My 1985 CL14 was in almost perfect shape except the keel was de-laminated from years of the boat sitting under a blue tarp.
Cost $ 250.00 + shipping & tax for a new fiberglass version.IP: 142.167.226.95 |

Well, I can tell you the keel and rudder are fiberglass, with no major signs of use. quote:

Really?
If I was rich like Stan, I wouldn't mind owning a CL16, in addition to my 'Piper, to keep on a local lake for easy solo sails. ;-)[This message has been edited by whited (edited August 27, 2005).] IP: 142.167.226.95 |

Vic633, I think I'd start out by copying the CL16 list of parts and current prices from this website.
From that, I'd make up my own "boat survey", on a spread sheet, listing all the features of my boat, commenting on their condition.
Third, I'd copy info from ads in various websites such as "boatforsale". See what CL/Serendipity, and Quiet Waters, and ads in sailing/yacht club classifieds are asking.And that's before trying to sell. Good luck. IP: 66.203.191.220 |

Yes, Don, It's hard. One can own a CL16, or he can take early retirement.  And we know what happens when one tries - as we say in Huronia*- to "stand in two canoes".  - Freedom 85.
