I sailed on a friends Cat 27 and it was very narrow; more like a Pearson 26 in size. The C&C 26 is a very wide boat, so much more room.RonWild CheriC&C 30-1STL

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
