Edd: Thanks to you and all other responders on this subject. An offer was made yesterday and I am waiting for a reply and or counteroffer. From what I can learn about this particular boat, it likely originated in Lake Champlain based upon sails from a local loft. The boat was brought from Ft. Walton Beach Fla area to New Orleans in 2006 following Hurricane Katrina. If you cannot take a broach, you have not pushed the boat. I know people who are young enough and think it is a normal and natural part of sailing. They were particularly amazed in one race, following a Bermuda 40 Yawl, why the Bermuda 40 never broached.
Ed C&C 30 Mk I Dreamgirl New Orleans From: Edd Schillay <e...@schillay.com> To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com, Date: 09/27/2012 03:49 PM Subject: Re: Stus-List 1981 C&C 34 Sent by: cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com Ed, The previous Enterprise (NCC-1701-A) was a 1978 C&C 34 and has been in my family since 1979 (My father now owns it and keeps it in Atlantic Highlands, NJ). All in all, a fantastic well-built boat with very few problems over the many years. Can not recommend it enough. Performance: In light air, the boat does especially well and will point well upwind in most wind ranges. Not very fast on a broad reach and under spinnaker in a breeze, we found it a little "broachy" on a broad reach. I've knocked mine down a few times. But hey -- it keeps the crew awake. Comfort: The cockpit is deep and comfortable and the interior is quite roomy. The quarter berth will sleep one comfortably and the v-berth will sleep two well, especially if they like each other. The best berth on board is on starboard, where the settee flips open to create a very roomy double. Maintenance: There is great access to the front and starboard side of the engine and access to other systems is also pretty easy. You simply can't go wrong. Some of the best sailing days of my life were on that boat. All the best, Edd Edd M.

I am about to make an offer on a 1981 C&C 34. I would appreciate any comments as to any particular trouble spots to look for and or direct a surveyor to look for. Any sailing comments would also be welcomed.
