I echo Kevin's comments except I am 6'4" and 240 lbs, my admiral is 5'2" and the aft worked well for us on three week cruises.
The vee berth was used by my 6"2" son and our guest used the starboard settee which is actually a nice sea berth with the back cushions removed.
One time my other son tried to share the vee berth with a friend for the night:  in the morning the friend was sleeping in his car.  Nuff said.

Great fast cruising boat.  You'll find yourself racing every sailboat in sight and beating most.

I echo Jim's statement. Aft berth is about a queen wide and plenty long, I am 6' as well. The inboard vertical clearance is low, but manageable for us. We are mid 30s and spend equivalent of several weeks aboard every summer. Vee berth is not as comfortable as aft beth.  Kevin 30-2

Jim,

Thanks for the info.  I'm 6' as well.  So the aft berth would better suited for one person?  How is the leg room in the V-berth?   I don't plan to live aboard, but we'd be spending several weeks cruising each summer, hopefully. 

Cheers,
Dave Castor

Dave,

 

I am 6 feet tall and my wife is about 5’ 7” and we use the aft berth and put our 9 year old daughter in the V.  The length is fine for us, the biggest issue is the height on the inboard side where the cockpit floor cuts in.  It makes that side somewhat confined, and difficult to get out of, especially when there are 2 of you.  I would not live aboard, but for a handful of nights each summer, it works fine for us.  Overall, we love our 30-2.  The amenities are wonderful for a 30 foot boat, and the cabin is very pleasant with ample headroom and plenty of light.  The boat sails well too.

 

Regards,

I'm back.  Last time I was looking at a couple of 35 Mkiii boats.  I'm still mulling over one of them.  But there is a 1988 C&C 30 Mkii available that is probably a better size for me.   Price is quite high due to a repowering in 2008.

In looking at the layout, I'm curious about the aft berth - how usable is this?  Otherwise, the boat seems quite well laid out. 

Appreciate any feedback on how they sail or things to watch out for. 

Thanks,

Dave
