Jim, I've had a 30-2 for 14 years now, what I do know about them: first 4 built
were 1987 models, they had plexiglass sliding doors for the galley storage and
the panel behind the companionway steps was hinged opening to the aft cabin.
The bulk of the boats were 1988 models. Some 1989 models had 3 cylinder
Universal diesels. Three of the 30-2's were XL models with triple spreader rigs
and running backstays. The XL's also had honeycombed bulkheads kevlar in the
hulls and stainless cabin top rails. The last 30-2 was a 1995 XL version, it
was owned by Greg Cutter who used to be on this list, his hull was # 175.

Chuck,
No worries, I get a lot of surprised looks when people see our boat and realize
how much they packed into a 30 foot hull on the Mark II. It's very comfortable
and inviting below. There has not been much emphasis on 30 foot designs since,
so I still think the combination of features is pretty unusual in the market
even today. The only downside is a fairly small cockpit, but it really has not
been an issue for us. It was a huge upgrade from our Catalina 27, I know that!
I am not sure of the evolution, the 30-2 was a fairly late design for C&C,
coming out in 1988 as far as I can tell. I don't see many that were made after
'88, which I find interesting. I know our '88 was a showroom boat in Michigan
and did not see water until '90. Can anyone shed any light on the later
history of this model?
Thanks,
Jim Reinardy
