Hi Lisle; I acquired my C&C 30 MK1 last year. I love it. My Destrier is practically all original with no self tailing winches or roller furling headsail. Part of it's charm to me. The only issue beyond my ability is that mine came with a couple of soft spots. Especially the cockpit sole where PO installed a handpump. Plenty of room below for 4 with over 6' of headroom. Stands up to almost anything you would choose to sail in.

I'm hearing a lot of "3-foot-itis" stories from sellers I'm speaking with. So the search goes on. I've found an interesting 1987 Pearson 27 that looks promising, here is the link: https://rochester.craigslist.org/bod/d/1987-pearson-27-2-sailboat/6281575540.html The one issue with the Pearson is that apparently it got struck by another boat on the port bow side that required some repair. Also, I'm going to see a 1987 C&C 30 later today that looks promising.
