Doesn't sound like a very good boat for cruising.

Moderate airs , 17 - 35 kts. ?

On my 35s5...

The downside is rig tuning.
You're going to have to be more involved with the rig and
adjustments
than on your C&C. She'll always be fast, but to get that last
10% you
need to get things just right.

On that note, this from a fellow who e-mailed me...

"we sailed her (the 35s5) in the Caribbean, shallow water,
moderate
seas and airs, 17 to 35 kts for the most part, and she was a
dream in
experienced hands, dry, stiff, and smooth. Handling her is more
a
question of sail balance and anticipation than anything else.
Small
adjustments make large differences. Even stays tension affects
down
wind performance. Reefing actually increased speed in
blustery
conditions. Mainsail and jib have to in tune to hear her
song."
