38' C&C Yachts Landfall 38

1980 C&C Landfall 38 Preliminary Work Yard Offering in Stuart, FL

Prequalifying phone call required before yard visit or further details. Serious inquiries only. No tire kickers.

Current pictures as of July 24th are listed, plus some earlier pics when she was in the water.

Nina is a classic 1980 C&C Landfall 38 currently in the yard in Stuart, FL receiving a fresh bottom renewal, new salon windows, and final tuning before relaunch. This is a rare opportunity for a serious buyer to inspect the boat out of the water during completion and step into ownership with unusual confidence.

Offered now during this preliminary work-yard window. A $2,500 deposit will be required and balance due upon launch.

Once launched the price will change. Estimated launch date Friday, August 14, 2026.

Nina is a true racing cruiser with classic C&C lines, proven sailing pedigree, and the kind of balance many experienced sailors look for: better sailing performance than a typical cruiser, yet a comfortable and practical platform for coastal cruising and weekends aboard.

This is not a distressed sale or an unfinished project listing. It is an opportunity to acquire a boat that is being actively completed correctly by a knowledgeable owner.

There are far too many upgrades and improvements from this 12-year restoration and upgrade journey to include in a brief preliminary listing, but full documentation is available for serious buyers.

Current highlights include:

Fresh bottom job in progress
New salon windows being installed
Strong-running Yanmar diesel
Boat available for inspection while out of the water
Estimated completion timeline: within 2 weeks

Additional highlights include:

USCG documented vessel
Long-term owner stewardship
Updated interior woodwork, flooring, and soft goods
Thoughtful owner-led upgrades over many years
Classic 38' layout with the right mix of sailing performance and cruising comfort

Nina will especially appeal to two types of buyers: the sailor looking for a genuinely ready-to-sail classic with character, or the experienced owner of a smaller boat ready to move up into a more substantial, better-sailing 38-footer without taking on a neglected project.

This preliminary yard offering gives a serious buyer the chance to inspect the hull while out of the water, see current work in process, and secure the boat before relaunch. For the right buyer, that is a level of transparency and confidence that is rarely available in a standard listing.
