It appears the C&C 99 has only an aft berth, not a cabin.

Doesn't the Mac26x also have an aft berth?

The C&C 99 interior doesn't look like it has won many awards, especially
from MOMA. However, it is much, much, much faster than a 35s5. Much faster.
Even special sails won't help the 35s5 against the 99.

If I was to get a fast cruising day sailor, I'd pick the 99 over the 35s5.
The 35s5 lugs around too much marble, bulkheads, has a small cockpit and is
tilted too much to comfort to be that fast.

C&C 99 is much more fun! And faster!!

I would want to live real close to it so I could sail it everyday! I could
see living far away from a slug like the 35s5. One wouldn't have to think
about it all the time, especially how slow it is compared to the 99.

99 - better than 35s5!! It's like Hagen Daas versus Carvel. Guess who has
got Carvel - with all the sprinkles no less!

Bwahaahaahaaahaahaaahaahahahahahaaha!!!!





I can't speak for either of those boat models since I've never been on
either one but we have had both aft cabin and aft berth types of
sleeping arrangemnts...the aft cabin is the better solsution. The person
assigned to that berth has some privacy and the berth is usually more
roomy than just an aft berth...in cold weather is easier to shut off the
aft berth to heat the main salon while with just an aft berth that area
remains open making more area to heat...same thing regarding AC in
summer if that's a concern...also aft cabin can also be used for "out of
sight" storage instead of just having stuff piled on a berth in the main
salon...
