Well, I don't know the exact measurement of the forward V-berth, but let me put it this way. I'm about 6'3" tall and I just barely fit in the V-berth. My feet can touch the forward bulkhead while my head touches the next one aft. And there's not much room forward for both my feet and my wife's feet. We find the most comfortable sleeping arrangement is to convert the dinette, and slide out the starboard settee. I can lay corner-to-corner on the converted dinette and have enough room. Your mileage may vary, depending on the berths in the 30E and your heights (the 30E appears to have settees on both sides, and a fold-down table around the mast. That's a different interior layout than the 30-1.)

Hi Randy, Thanks for the links and info, very helpful! Love the pictures and your detailed project report. Will certainly keep that on hand. Not sure if the boat has carbon spars, I will check when we go to visit it. She sure looks great, that’s what attracted me to the 27 back then too. And 1.90m headroom in the cabin, I can comfortably stand upright in there! I think 15k is very reasonable, especially if she’s in good shape structurally. I do plan to have a professional survey done. What is the length of the forward cabin bed, btw? We want a boat which can take us on vacation for a week or two (or longer) so a comfy bed is kinda important. Thanks!

That is a good-looking boat Sander. Does it have carbon spars? (I can't read Dutch, but it kind of looks like it in the pictures). Nice that it has tiller steering and all lines led aft with deck organizers etc. And a dodger. And spinnaker gear. In the pictures the mainsheet is removed but I can see the traveler car track just aft of the bridge deck. My 30-1 has tiller steering and boom-end sheeting with the traveler at the aft end of the cockpit, which makes for a very roomy cockpit (pics at https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-NqAxQ6JxFTVnJfSm9lRnZNa1E ). It's hard to find information on the 30E. Sailboatdata.com doesn't have it. I saw polar diagrams for a 30E once - see http://cnc-list.com/pipermail/cnc-list_cnc-list.com/2016-September/088575.html . Apparently they were built from 1977-1982 but I don't know how many were built. They seem rare :) On my 30-1, built eight years before the boat you're looking at, the biggest trouble spot was the mast step supports - I had to rebuild them (see https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-NqAxQ6JxFTUlhmbUs4YTZlZnM ). I also had some water ingress at the chainplate cutouts. But a professional survey, and a careful inspection following Don Casey's book, didn't find any deal-breakers or showstoppers.

Hi all, I hope everybody is enjoying a fantastic sailing season so far. It's been years since I subbed this list, back then you gave me great advice regarding the purchase of a completely stripped c&c 27. I ended up not buying the boat, mostly because I lack both experience and money to complete a rebuild project within any reasonable timeframe. In the meantime I left my employer to start my own business. After a bit of initial struggles, the success is giving me the benefit of expanding my budget for a boat, for which I am very grateful :-) And guess what... another c&c for sale just 15 mins driving from where i live. This one is a 30E which apparently is a European build. I live in The Netherlands, by the way. Here is a link to the boat for sale: http://www.devaartyachting.com/nl/956/cc-30e.html Really, I don't know why c&c keeps calling me hahaha. Does anyone of you have any experience with this particular model and what are the things I should specifically look for when going to see the boat? It's on blocks so I can see under the waterline as well. Thanks! Sander.
