38' C&C Yachts Landfall 38

1980 C&C Landfall 38 Preliminary 2-Week Yard Offering Stuart, FL

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 at $38,500 during this preliminary 2-week yard window, with a $2,500 deposit required and balance due upon launch. Once completed, relaunched, and updated with fresh finished photos, the asking price will increase to $40,900.

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.

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

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.

A $2,500 deposit will hold the boat during completion, with balance due upon launch. Asking price will increase to $40,900 after completion and relaunch with updated photos.
