I'll ditto that. My family did some of our best cruising ever on our 34. The kids were young and we would cruise the San Juans, Gulf Islands and Desolation Sound for 3 to 5 weeks every summer. There is nothing like sleeping in the V berth with the hatch open and waking to a glorious day. Add a cup of coffee and life was great.
Fred Hazzard S/V Fury C&C 44 From: cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Edd Schillay Sent: Thursday, September 27, 2012 1:49 PM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Re: Stus-List 1981 C&C 34 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.
