Bradford, I've raced on a C&C 99 (hull #6). While the boat can sail to its rating, I found the experience far less satisfying that sailing on my own 35-III. The steering throw is very short and rubbery feeling. Getting feedback through the wheel was very difficult if not impossible. The mainsheet setup and traveler in the cockpit makes racing difficult. The cockpit is full of people trying to work in close proximity. Not ideal for racing, but maybe not an issue for cruising.
Hull #6 has had issues with cracks it the forward section of the hull, as well as a chainplate that pulled out of the deck. C&C stepped in and made repairs, but I somehow think the early hulls were built to sail fast and not necessarily to last a long time. I've been on the 110 and much prefer the layout. Can't say much about the sailing performance, but the layout is much better.
