Hi Lisle, When I bought my 30-1 I’d mostly sailed only J/22s, Capri 22s, and a Merit 25 for about five years beforehand (other people’s boats). Plus a couple week-long charters on a Beneteau 505 and a Jenneau 45 in St. Vincent and the Grenadines (captained charters, but I helmed all week).

We were similar.  We started out with a 1969 Southcoast 23 as our first keel boat.  We decides that we needed a little bigger boat when we needed to raise sails to get out if the harbor in South Haven, Michigan because the 4.5 HP outboard couldn't overcome the waves to go out and turn around.

Hi Lisle, We were in a similar situation almost 2 years ago before we bought a C 34 for family cruising. I'd never sailed a keel boat and started looking for a boat. My wife had never sailed (except when I flipped a laser in a gale at the resort on our honeymoon). Since we bought the boat

That C 30 is a Mk-2 design. I just bought the same model this spring and we love it! I decided on this model for many reasons, I hate 2 footitis for one, it is very easy to single hand, and it is one beautiful boat! The family we bought it from had 2 daughters (6&9) and the girls had no problem

Hi all, Update: I looked at the C and although it appeared to be a basically solid boat, it feels a bit too small for a family of 4 and the headroom was a bit low. I'm hearing a lot of "3-foot-itis" stories from sellers I'm speaking with. So the search goes on. I've found an interesting 1987
