Which is superior, an aft cabin or an aft berth?

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!!!!
