When I was looking for a boat to replace our 34, I looked at a C&C 99 and I loved the cockpit layout because it had the main traveller and genoa near the helm and since I sail primarily single-handed it was perfect. Unfortunately, it was a bit too race oriented down below for my wife and I to cruise comfortably, so we went with the 34+. For us, the 34+ is the ideal boat, but I sure wish the traveller was like the 99. Then I would add the 12:1/ 3:1 setup Josh described and it would be awesome. Dave
