Tut, tut, tut!

A big cockpit is a liability at sea. It's only good for
partying at the dock. Where are your priorities?

The Magic boat sails fast and points high
It's under 40 feet long
It's under 100K used
It's got a shower stall
It's got a large cockpit
It's got a 7 foot long king sized berth aft
It looks like a sailboat
It's less than 15 years old

The Magic boat is the C&C 34 XL!!! Is there another boat that can match the
above?

RB

Had you seen the pics taken by my buddy of his trip across the Atlantic you
might weigh that reply differently. Green water to over the cockpit seats
every 15 minutes in a 50 knot gale as waves crashed over and into his boat.
It is a 29 Bayfield. He highly reccomends a watertight seal and plexiglass
hatch. The same storm devastated a 46 foot French Ketch.... near the Azores.

The issue is not one of cockpit size, but reserve bouyancy. A big cockpit with
an open transom, on a hull with lots of reserve bouyancy aft, will be safer than
a small cockpit with less reserve bouyancy and small drains.

Get down to the basics, don't follow old wives tales.

Coming from a trawler sailor this doesn't mean a whole lot.

Trawlers regularly flood their cockpits into the accommodation
and sink by the stern. Unsafe in seaway to be sure.
