Default Aft cabin vs Aft berth

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



Wrong.



Doesn't the Mac26x also have an aft berth?


Yep.



However, it is much, much, much faster than a 35s5. Much faster.
Even special sails won't help the 35s5 against the 99.


Yep, the 99 is VERY fast making the 35s5 look more like a cruiser by
comparison.


If I was to get a fast cruising day sailor, I'd pick the 99 over
the 35s5.


Me too!


The 35s5 lugs around too much marble, bulkheads, has a small
cockpit


There is no marble in the special order light teak interiors and the
99 has the same bulkheads and a cockpit that's the same size.


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


I agree on the face of it. I'll get back to you after our test sail.


I would want to live real close to it so I could sail it everyday!



Real close to the city again? Nah. I don't mind the drive.


99 - better than 35s5!!


Yep, glad to hear you admit this. It will play well down the road.
