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.
