At the risk of sounding self-serving... Last year during the Rendezvous Rob was repeatedly pressed (not by me) about his favorite C & C. Diplomatically he demurred a number of times until he reluctantly disclosed his favorites;
"Evergreen" (Canadian Cup Custom) "Sorcery" (61' Custom) and the 40-2 Rob crewed aboard Zoomer, a Padanaram-based 40-2, for many years until she was recently sold. David F.

The incredible way the designers got the stern, stem, house, and sheer all working together makes for what has to be the most beautiful line of production boats designed between the 60s and 80s. Just looking at some pics of my boat at Block Island Race Week enthralls me with her looks once again. http://www.photoboatgallery.net/p53685836 Andy C&C 40 Peregrine On Wed, Jul 10, 2013 at 10:44 AM, Della Barba, Joe <joe.della.ba...@ssa.gov> wrote: 35 MK I. 30 MK I.39 MK I. These three were the “post CCA but pre IOR” boats that were THE image of a C&C for a long time. 34 – Not for any special design or sailing ability, but for getting a lot of C&Cs out there. IIRC one of their more popular models. LF 38 – IMHO *still* one of the best offshore C&Cs. Still thinking about the others…………….

The 35 mk-1 was the boat that really built the company... and still has the best sheer. IMHO She feels like a much bigger boat than she is, when sailing.

The 27 Mk 1 but then I'm prejudiced, having spent many many happy hours cruising with my old dad on his. I'd put the 39 on there, even though she had more of a racing layout; what a joy to sail and look at that boat! The 30 mk1, because of its longevity...and similarity to the 27 I think the 35 Mk 3 should be on there, too, not that I have any experience with the boat, beyond looking at them during the search that resulted in acquiring Peregrine.

The reason for your choice would also be of interest.
