I was reading old posts (2008) and saw this comment about C&C 34 vs 35:
12-09-2008
FWIW, the C&C 35 Marks I or II are twice the boat the 34 is... better made, stiffer and faster...
I am fairly new to sailing, and looking to get my first boat. I am in North Carolina. I will be doing mostly day sailing and weekend coastal cruising for the next several years.
In my general vicinity, there are several C&C boats for sale. I'm attracted them based on their performance stats and reports of quality build, as well as aesthetics. The boats are a '75 33 MKI, '79 34, and a '82 Landfall 35.
The 33 seems like it would be a good performer (not looking to club race, but of course would enjoy coaxing out as much speed as possible), and the Landfall seems like the cabin would be a little more accommodating but not as performance oriented. I'm balancing my desire to enjoy the speed and fun of sailing and pushing this level boat, but also would appreciate moderate comforts when I have guests, or decide to slow down and enjoy a trip to the islands, etc.
In light of comment above from an older post, was wondering if others had any other insights or experience/recommendations?
All boats seem fairly well maintained, relatively equally equipped, and similar price range - $17K-$22K.
Thanks in advance for any insights.
