James, I read your post with interest...I used to drool over those photos of White Magic in the brochures; that's what sold me on the C&Cs...still hooked too!

See the following link for more 29 MkII info (if you look close the brochure pictures are of White Magic!) http://www.frontiernet.net/~markvii/index.htm Sail her in fresh water on Lake Winnipeg (6th largest lake in North America) in Manitoba, Canada and the boat has been to one end of the lake to the other (258 miles long; and between 20 to 60 miles wide). Handles very well. Good cruiser for two; great club racer as won many Wednesday evening races. Set up for single handing, with all lines lead aft and lazy jacks for main, autopilot, etc so very easy to sail single. My son (age 22) and daughter (age 18) both like sailing her and are comfortable taking her in and out of harbour on their own, the inboard Yanmar is easy to use and totally reliable, etc. so overall a very good boat. As point of reference, I also own (don't ask why...) a '71 C&C 35 MK 1 that I sail on Lake of the Woods, in Ontario Canada. It does not have the bells and whistles of the 29, but for handling and pure sailing pleasure and speed the 35 is hard to beat. It has considerably more room (although not fancy) which is nice for longer cruising. Picked her up from the original owner who purchased her new in 1971 from the Toronto boat show. I'm now lovingly restoring and updating (but not too much). C&C's are great boats and I like both the 29 and 35 for different reasons. Which one is right for you will depend on how you plan to use it. I'll send you my cell number to your email if you want to chat. Cheers, James Neirinck
