G50T - C&C didn't make a model designated 35.5, I assume you mean a 35 mark II whose year would be from '72 to around '78. if so, the Mark III described by Chef2sail is a completely different boat. I personally consider the mark II an excellent, solid design, and although not planned as an ocean cruiser, the boat is capable of long distance use, if you don't need a great deal of storage. I lookede at one 10 years ago that had just finished several yrears of extensive cruising. All in all a wonderful boat, but more packaged as a racer/cruiser or coastal cruiser than an offshore boat.
