Andy:

For what its worth we love our C&C 121.  Not quite the woodwork quality of the 
original but a very comfortable good performing boat with many of the features 
you mention.  The 110 (36’) is similar if you can live without much galley 
storage.

Any number of later C&C’s will also fit the bill including 34/36, 37/40 and the 
38. Keep in mind that even the Tartan built C&C’s are now 15+ years old. That 
should make everyone feel old!

Difference in construction from the original C&C or Tartan C&C are both worlds 
apart from Jeanneau.  How important that is to you is for you to decide but its 
worth understanding.

John
