David, I have a 35/3 keel model. Hopefully someone with a c/b version will answer those questions. The c/b version rates 6 seconds slower on the Chesapeake. Conventional wisdom is that 5 foot is the max draft for the Bahamas and ICW. Decks are cored, but if they are dry there are no issues. A moisture meter will pick up the smallest wet spot - in my case I had a missing bolt and a wet spot about 1/2 inch in diameter.
I did the Annapolis Bermuda race. I would not hesitate to take her offshore again. She handled the slop beautifully. We had 7 guys on the boat for a week. The class winner was a C&C 37 c/b. Only 1 rig for this model. Lots of minor variations between boats after 30 years depending on prior use.
