I'll second what Joel says. I singlehand mine often, the key is to find
a way to route the mainsheet back within reach. Self tailing
secondaries would be good (mine aren't) as I usually run the jib on
those winches when by myself.
Also check the deck hardware, if it hasn't been re-bedded it will need
to be done.
We love ours, very happy. Anything we can advise on (specific
questions), there are a fair bunch of 35-3 owners online here. I'm sure
someone has knowledge.

Andrew,
Welcome! Where are you located?
I have a 35/3 and love it. It sails well, and leaves most cruisers in
its wake. I have a 135 gennie on a roller. In 12-14 knots of wind
you can sail upwind at 6 knots or more. At about 18 I put a first
reef in the main. By 25 I will take up some of the jib.
I singlehand often. My mainsheet is a 6:1 with a cam cleat from
Garhauer. I run the line back to the helm so I can trim from there.
Winches are nicely sized.
The key is to check the hull and deck for moisture. The windows can
be a problem, but they are a manageable expense. The Yanmars are
solid if they have been maintained. Feel free to contact me off-line.

Hello to all,
This is my first post, I've been reading the posts for a few weeks
now. I'm looking to buy a sailboat in the mid 30' range, and the C&C
35 has caught my interest.
What kind of speed does the boat have in light and medium winds up to
about 20-25 kts? I assume already that this boat will point very
well with a 6'+ keel. How easy is it to single hand the 35? Any
advice for a 35-3 buyer?
Thanks very much in advance.
