I second everything Bailey says, except, insert 37 where he has 36....!

hi Shawn,
I suspect if you sail that C&C 36, you will buy it.  I have one like it, a 
1979, and am delighted with its feel under sail and the way the boat works 
under power and at the dock or on the anchor for myself, girlfriend, and any 
friends or family we bring a long.  To me it is the perfect size, and I 
wouldn't want smaller. 
In light air, you can pass other cruising boats.  In heavy, you are relatively 
dry and comfortable.  As a performance sailor, I don't worry about stiffness 
too much.  I can always reduce sail.  I value light air performance as it is 
hard to make the mast longer. 
Your friends who are racers will remark about how nicely the boat steers 
compared to what they were expecting from a boat that is made to be so 
comfortable.  
People at the dock will compliment the boat and you might even feel pride and 
or sheepishness when you spent so little compared to their new big cruising 
power boats.

If not, get something like that 36.  I certainly have been pleased with mine.  
That one looks very clean to me and likely has the fundamentals right.  
Bailey
