Someone did the Atlantic on a 30-1. The only concern I would have taking mine
out for a long trip is the single lower shrouds, but I don't know why - they
are tied into a pretty stout chainplate which is bolted (eight or ten or so)
through a bulkhead. I would inspect that stuff, I would add a couple of
additional cockpit drains, as the little originals seem to be a bit small.
Other than that....
The boatyard owner has a Cal 40 (been to Bermuda a few times) and the mast
section on that one is about the same size as a 30-1 and it only has single
spreaders and the wall thickness on the Cal is actually thinner than that of
the 30, so I doubt that a prudent sailor wouldn't be able to take a 30 anywhere.

Subject: Stus-List C&C30 MK1 5' draw on the keel?
New to this boat, I have been told that it is not a good choice for off-shore
day sails. That it may not be a safe boat.
Well here is the thing. I have been over the last year in some good puffs and
this boat seams very capable of handling 30 to 35 wit the correct sails and
reefed properly. She handles the chop in the Port royal Sound on the fetch as
well. rolling seas off the coast of 5 to 6 she takes of the nose and still
stays dry? With her deep draw and stiff build one would guess she was a capable
boat?
Have any of you been an a long trip in a 30MK1 if so
please describe the experience. A blog would be great. Just trying to learn all
I can about my new old boat.
Thanks Capt, Curt
