The C&C 30 is the most stable boat of any C&C built. I would have no problem sailing one to Bermuda or Europe except the generic one of being used to 5 more feet. C&C really has very few boats, if any, that are not SAFE offshore. Comfortable and dry – that is another thing entirely ;)
· Note these are ALL old boats now and could have any number of issues. A good survey is a good idea.

Started with light air but finished with some strong winds, a storm and pelting rain before clearing as we raced to the finish after Grey's reef. Boat performed well but was not happy with the real light stuff (under 5). When the wind picked up we had the leeward stern rail 10ft above the water one minute and at water level next. Don't know what that makes the wave height. Made bladder draining interesting. On a close reach, a Peterson 34 had a terrible time passing us. Boat was dry (except for the rain) and sailed easily. Only tough part was trying to sleep six comfortably at Mackinaw island. Some of us just crashed on deck.

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.
