You'd be hard pressed to know the difference between the 27 and 30 interiors unless you sat them side-by-side. You asked for something comfortable for 2 adults to be inside on rainy days, either fits that requirement easily. The stability diagram you linked to shows the C&C designations for the 27. The Mk1 is the Mk1 in either designation. The Mk1TM on that diagram is the Mk2 to everyone else, the MkII on that diagram is the Mk3/4, and the New 27 is the MkV. Clear eh? 😊 Just saying, lots of people buy more boat than they need and then never end up sailing because they bought too much boat. Cost for boat bits go up exponentially with boat size of course. Enjoy whatever you end up with!

I liked the 26, but it was the first boat I looked at, and everything since has been larger. The CS27 seemed pretty cramped, but the double settee was also pulled out when I looked at it. The awful v-berth/head door contraption on that one turned me off. I think the Nicholson 31/35 sliding doors are the best solution I've seen, although need to make sure they are locked in rough seas! I don't know how accurate this is, but it shows the 27MK2 as very tender, while the Mk1 is very stiff. Not sure where the others fall. http://www.cncphotoalbum.com/technical/stability.htm On Fri, Jan 11, 2019 at 10:53 AM Paul Baker via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com<mailto:cnc-list@cnc-list.com>> wrote: The 27 would also fit the bill. Mk1/2 are stiffer than the 3/4, but the 3/4 are better in light air. Mk5 is a whole different thing. ________________________________
