Its so typical that you pick one of the worst features of the boat to hinge your claims
on. The aft cabin on the C&C 34XL is a cave with almost no ventilation. There is a tiny
hatch that opens into cockpit foot well, and no way to generate a generous airflow. This
is not a proper berth for adults, it is a playroom for kids.

A proper berth has at least one forward facing, large hatch to scoop in air while at
anchor. Otherwise, the boat is useless for cruising in the tropics, or even in the
summer. My Nonsuch had one large and one small forward facing hatch in the stateroom; my
cat has two large forward facing hatches, plus a smaller side hatch in both staterooms.
If there is the slightest wind at anchor, the cabin is cool all night. (At the dock we
sometimes rigged a windscoop if we weren't facing forward, but hardly ever need at
anchor.)

Relatively few boats over 40 feet have 7' bunks. Especially mass-produced
boats.

However, it's all out there. If you look hard enough, you'll find.

Yup. Found ONE. The 34xl from C&C.
