Most of our club members went from a C&C 27 to the 30 because it provided for more room and comfort, was a better cruiser and it was easy to sail like the 27. Even though I have a Rival 32, I would highly recommend the C&C 30. Have a look at the pictures in the photo galleries, submitted by Everett Price. he has a C&C 29, but one of the pictures show a number of C&C 30's all together just after our fall lift out.
