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.
Andy, The 35-3 is just a fabulous boat that you cannot go wrong with.
It sails very well in light air, but does need attention to sail trim
and heel angle. In very light air races, we are often the first boat to
the downwind mark (not including J boats, just similar cruising
auxiliaries). In a breeze, you will easily see 7's on the knot meter.
It is a boat that is great to do coastal cruising in. You will often be
on the hook, well before the rest of the fleet arrives and be well into
your sundowners. With a PHRF of 114- 120, depending on the PHRF fleet,
it is very competitive. If you would like to speak with me, I have
owned my 35-3 for 20 years and have a fair amount of experience with it.
