Hi Chris, C&C pretty much invented using cored hulls on production sailboats, that was previously reserved for high end offshore racing powerboats.. Their fiberglass layups were also 2nd to none.. They really did put in the extra effort and you can see that when you start looking at the details.
You read the cored hulls horror stories on other forums, mostly from internet "experts" that have never seen a C&C up-close. They typically just see us from a distance while we're blowing them away. :-) Seriously, if the boat has been reasonably well taken care of it will last a long long time Make sure you get a good survey and ask lots of questions from the prior owner.. Antoine Rose crossed the Atlantic twice in a 1973 C&C 30 MK I. He sailed it from Montreal QC to Brest France. Read the story of the way from Canada to France here http://www.cncphotoalbum.com/CnC30_Crosses_Atlantic/index.pdf He's brought it back since.. -Francois Rivard 1990 34+ "Take Five" Lake Lanier, GA > On Fri, Mar 25, 2016 at 12:01 PM, Chris Hobson via CnC-List < > [email protected]> wrote: > > I?m new to C&C world, recently narrowed down my boat search to a C&C and > currently have my eye on two that are on the market: a 1986 C&C 35 MKIII > and a 1979 C&C 36.
