I've owned this model C&C for a long time. Great sailing boat -- Rob Ball knows how to design capable sailboats!!!
Look for leaky portlights. If replacing, go with more robust acrylic or plexi-glass lenses [not sure, but plexi may be preferable]. I'm almost 6'0", but v-berth is just doable, lengthwise. Aft cabin is preferable, IMHO. For a craft this length, the water and waste tanks are generous, but only for weekending or coastal cruising, IMHO. Yanmar would be the preferred power plant, but it's "shoe-horned" into its compartment. Maintenance/repairs can be a challenge. You can get three [3] batteries onboard. While the portside cockpit locker is "cavernous", Storage below for provisions, gear, spares is somewhat limited due to LOA. Pete W. Siren Song '91 C&C 30MKII Deltaville, Va.

It is a nicely appointed sailboat in great shape for its age and no visible, walk away concerns. I was hoping for comments from anyone with experience and insights to offer, peeves, joys etc. that would be super appreciated. 3 quick questions though: 1) knowing the boat, what would be a definite concern that you would look at, stuff that has failed or gives grief? 2) The front berth dimension is difficult to assess but it is sufficient for a couple of average size, height? 3) Would you do a jump to the Caribbean from the ICW on such a boat? Such a nice cruiser/racer though! Thank you for any information you can share! Maurice Poulin
