I’m a huge fan of the CS30 and have raced on them. I find the cockpit too constrictive to be raced efficiently compared to C&Cs in that size but they are perfect for cruising. The interiors are thoughtful and well put together and represent the best of design prior to the trend to move the head back to the companionway. But for that money a later version of a C&C 30 would be equally awesome.
