I am selling my 1978 C&C 24 sailboat. I have recently upgraded to a larger boat. This boat is in great shape and I've spent a bunch of money on upgrades. C&Cs of this era were built like tanks. I would like the boat to go to a sailor and am flexible on price for the right buyer. The boat has been well-cared for during it's life and I would like that to continue. The decks are dry and the hull solid. The bilge is dry and the keelbolts are pristine. The bottom was done in 2025 at KKMI in Richmond. The headsails are in great shape, but the mainsail should be replaced in the near future.
This is a great boat for single handing, day sailing, or overnights. The cabin is exceptionally large and livable for a 24-foot boat. I am well over 6 feet and regularly sleep on a settee. The boat has two 12 volt batteries, a new radio with GPS, and an auto helm. The price is low because I would like to sell the boat quickly and I want it to a sailor and not be parted out.
The boat is currently at marina in the Delta near Isleton. I am in the process of re-varnishing the hatch boards and will complete that for the buyer.
Here is a list of equipment and upgrades. I have spent over $3k on upgrades in the last year. If you are interested, please email me with some information about your sailing background or intentions. Cash only. Thanks!
