Ed,
The previous Enterprise (NCC-1701-A) was a 1978 C&C 34 and has been in
my family since 1979 (My father now owns it and keeps it in Atlantic Highlands,
NJ).
All in all, a fantastic well-built boat with very few problems over the
many years. Can not recommend it enough.
Performance: In light air, the boat does especially well and will point
well upwind in most wind ranges. Not very fast on a broad reach and under
spinnaker in a breeze, we found it a little "broachy" on a broad reach. I've
knocked mine down a few times. But hey -- it keeps the crew awake.
Comfort: The cockpit is deep and comfortable and the interior is quite
roomy. The quarter berth will sleep one comfortably and the v-berth will sleep
two well, especially if they like each other. The best berth on board is on
starboard, where the settee flips open to create a very roomy double.
Maintenance: There is great access to the front and starboard side of
the engine and access to other systems is also pretty easy.
You simply can't go wrong. Some of the best sailing days of my life
were on that boat.
All the best,
Edd
