First "big" boat--MANY questions

Yeesh. The C&C is a far better sailing boat than the Columbia.

That C&C is similar to my Pearson 30, and I would say probably better build quality.

If it has been properly maintained, (note the emphasis) it is suitable for coastal cruising as you describe.

Based on your described sailing experience, I think the C&C would be a fine, first "big boat" for you. They are even still competitive in the PHRF C class, if you choose to race it.

I don't think I'd pick the C&C for lake sailing though, unless it was a large lake. I'd get a Catalina 22 or 25 (at most) or something similar, especially since you say it's illegal to anchor overnight.
