Marek, I'm very happy with my Rolly Tasker genoa (through National Sail Supply). Yes to 2 reef points. Also, get at least 2 full battens. The main will last longer. I forget the size of your boat. Under 30 feet I would think 7 oz cloth would be fine. Don't forget to show you are proud to own a C&C - get the logo!
I find windows are never in the right place. Heel too much and all you see is water. A small window for the telltales is useful.
