CM 32 came and went

Was browsing craigslist last week and saw a CM32 for sale. The price was only $1700 with a bad fuel pump. It was a floater with sails and fair rigging. Couldn't get to the phone fast enough. The post was down in less than a half and hour, surprise!! Missed a killer deal.

If you are referring to the floating cm32 aft cabin in port orchard for 1700.00 . That is the one i bought 3 weeks ago and for some reason Craig list keeps putting add back up even though poster deleted it. Picked it up for 1500 cash and a steak lunch.

I just got the 32 cleaned up a little, needs to be hauled and bottom down, has not been hauled in at least 5 years, all the interior is gonna be reworked (luckily i used to be a high end finish carpenter,so i am looking forward to that part) The sails and rigging are good but sails are getting a little old, the boat was a floating home for a few years so the sails did not get used a lot. the motor needs at least a fuel pump, but when i was looking for a sail boat i was actually looking for a non running one , i really want to convert to electric for motor.

There was also a cm 27 for sale on state of Washington surplus auction a few weeks ago for 1900. someone bought it and it is now up for sale on Craig list for 9,999.00 sitting in Swan town marina.

Glad to see one of the forum members got it, congrats. Would like to see some pix as the project progresses.

10,000 for a CM 27? Wow, hope he gets it!

Did they even cost that much brand new in the 70's ??

I don't think Clipper made a 27 footer. I can find nothing in my literature. If in deed there is one it could be worth a fortune.
I have an add from 1976 that lists the 32 footer at 10K.

The CM 26 is a bit over 27'  LOA.

My owners manual states that the CM26 is actually 25'9" LOA. The one in Washington that I saw is listed twice. It is a 26 on one add and a 27 on the other. It also looks like it has a fixed keel. Did they make a fixed keel version of the CM26 or maybe he has the CM4? The one I saw was $5500 or so if I remember right.

Congrats on the CM32.    Came with trailer?  Killer deal!

I have two CM32's in my yard, and no free time to sail them.

This 32 does not have a trailer. It is a full time floater. I kinda wish it had a trailer but after i have it hauled and bottom inspected, new zincs and new paint i want it back in slip. There are alot of benefits to it being stored dry, but i plan on using it almost year around. I will start putting some pics up soon.

Sailboatdata.com lists a CM26FK that had a fixed keel.

The Sloop aspect will be nice in some ways, as putting up some cover for sunshine is a royal nuisance on a Ketch.

There was a white and rust red 32 Sloop for sale some time back, no trailer.  West coast somewhere.
