Description
PRELIMINARY LISTING GLIM
GLIM is a 1981 Tall Rig / Deep Keel version of the C&C 40-2 Series of racer / cruisers as produced by C&C Yachts of Canada from 1978 through the mid-1980's. She has proven herself successful in Club and Offshore Racing venues as well as a comfortable and accommodating cruising yacht. Designed by Rob Ball of the C&C Design Group and with almost 200 examples of the C&C 40-2 produced, GLIM has proven to be an exceptional performer over the years and graceful in all sailing conditions.
GLIM has been maintained consistently well and is in excellent condition. She had a full "bottom job" completed in 2020. The sail inventory is quite complete & current for any racing event or just cruising. The electronics inventory features a B&G Zeus 3 Glass Helm new in 2020, a RAYMARINE autopilot (control head new in 2019) and a newer B&G / SIMRAD radar.
The Owner of GLIM is motivated to sell and encourages prospects to compare her upgrades with any on the market. Her value is outstanding for racing, cruising or a combination. For more details and to make an appointment, immediate action is recommended for GLIM. This is truly a great "value proposition" for a boat that has won races, as well as, the hearts of those lucky enough to sail her.

Lynn fell in love with sailing and the boating lifestyle when she moved to the East Coast to work as a young adult. She understands that boating can be a wonderful, but daunting, experience. Her belief is that owning a boat should be positive, and buying and selling should be both professional and personalized to the needs of her clients.
Lynnâs insights and expertise have been gained through her extensive cruising, certification coursework, sailing, navigation and safety instruction, and earning her USCG Masters License. She was a boat owner for more than 25 years having both power and sail and is active in her local yacht club. Professionally, Lynn learned about boats, boaters and the industry as Marketing Director for Brewer Yacht Yards which included 26 locations. With the 2017 acquisition of Brewer Yacht Yards by Safe Harbor Marinas, she was appointed Director of Member Experience for the 80+ national locations.
Lynn has two adult sons who were raised in, on, and around the water and are still messing about with boats for work and pleasure. They have provided additional perspectives on boating, life and boat choices.
As an American Sailing Association and US Sail & Power Squadron Instructor and private captain, Lynn loves empowering people in boating, especially women. She understands that boating can be fabulous if all onboard feel safe, comfortable, and confident. That starts with the selection of the right boat for your lifestyle.
