The reason - IMHO - a lot of the old ones get picked is they stood out more. In the early 70s a C&C looked like a race horse and all the other boats looked like mules or donkeys. The newer you get the less they stand out. I am sure the 99 and 115 are very fine boats, but it isn't like "WOW, I have NEVER seen anything like that before". I DID think that the first time I saw a C&C 40. Do we want to let the SR series in on this? They were pretty much WAY ahead of the curve on sportboats.

In particular, I love the upturn to the sheer aft and I think the house is perfect for the rest of the boat. I was about to make an offer on one when I found Peregrine.

Personally, I like the 35 Mk II because I own one and she is a sweet sailor and much better looking than the newer boats (IMHO). I've sailed on a C&C 121 (flame retardant suit on) and she is a rocket ship. Very nice!

The 35 mk-1 was the boat that really built the company... and still has the best sheer. IMHO She feels like a much bigger boat than she is, when sailing.

The 27 Mk 1 but then I'm prejudiced, having spent many many happy hours cruising with my old dad on his. I'd put the 39 on there, even though she had more of a racing layout; what a joy to sail and look at that boat! The 30 mk1, because of its longevity...and similarity to the 27 I think the 35 Mk 3 should be on there, too, not that I have any experience with the boat, beyond looking at them during the search that resulted in acquiring Peregrine.
