HI, I just found this add:

Looks to be a newer one, with the window arrangement.

Thanks for posting. Seems like lots of CMs in Canada! I wonder if the cold weather is somehow preserving them? Shorter sailing season, and the fact they are stored out of the water much of the year, rather than slipped in water year round?

I dont know about preserving, if the boat is on a trailer than it is raining over it most of the time:-)

Mine has been in the water for the last 25 years, most likely is the maintenance that preserves them rather than being out of the water.

I was being tongue n cheek, but I have noticed a significant percentage of CMs in the northern reaches.
Quite right about maintenance being a great factor in the longevity of any boat. The fiberglass is a major step forward compared to wood alone construction. That has helped boats last much longer than before it would seem.

The northern latitudes may be the key from the standpoint of less UV degadation. However freeze-thaw cycles can take their toll where water ingress is conserned. Hmmm...

Perhaps just having shorter seasons to beat them up sailing is the answer??

Less distractions of fewer bikinis from northern climates makes for a more frequent round of boat maintenance? lol

Aye chihuahua!! That may be it!!

Yes, sailing can be fun:heart:
