Anyone familiar with the C&C 41 from late 80's???

That's silly, there's several on the market in the 70s & 80s. Or are you
going to play bait-n-switch again?

us. She's an aft-cabin model.

And that affects the sailing charactistics in your opinion?

The Jackett designed C&C 41 (as opposed to the earlier Redline 41) is a
good sailing boat. It's early in the evolutionary chain of that group,
it's not as zippy as the later 37+ (who had the brilliant idea of
marketing a 40 footer as a 37?) or 121 but respectable. I like the
cockpit & deck layout except that some of the coaming contours are not
crew-friendly. It's not very roomy for a 41 though.

We have some good friends with a CB version of the C&C 41, he's added a
windlass. They just got back from a winter in the Bahamas.
