The whole idea of the C&C 32 was to keep us sailing while Suzanne finished of
School. Now, after inspecting what will certainly be our next boat, we are
clear on what will be best!
A few days ago we inspected a 1991 C&C 34XL. The boat is very nice looking,
though a bit modern to my eye. The cockpit is very large and comfortable as are
the decks. The rig is quite busy with far more elaborate controls and blocks
than on my older 32. There are all North Sails, 13 of them, some of which have
never been used. The cruising main and Genoa are new. All in all, she's a
pleasing boat ot the eye.
Down below is a very nice interior with more usable accomodations. The head is
larger and has a shower pan. The aft cabin has a berth that is large enough for
someone 6'3. The Nav Station and whole interior is nicely done and well
finished. Electronics are less than 3 years old.
I won't post the name of the boat presently. I'm working out a deal with the
owner, who is buying a Cat. We plan to own this boat by Spring 2005. She rates
around 90-95, though we won't race her. We will be doing some test sails in two
weeks, but I've heard nothing but great things about the 34+ and XL.
This will break Loco's heart!!!
Here's what the boat looks like, though the one I'm looking at has a different
color layout.
