I have a C&C 34 as well; 1982; #419; Keel/CB; do add the 2nd reef; will come in handy; sailed w a 110 a lot as well, as i sail alone 90% of the time; everyone asks you t take them sailing, but when you ask, I can't right now; one can spend 30 min trying to find someone to sail with; might as well just go yourself; love the boat;
