We’ve been living aboard and sailing this boat for over 3 years now, cruising full time for 1 year so far. We do the whole YouTube thing - look up Sailing Balachandra (http://www.youtube.com/Sailingbalachandra) We work from the boat and try to keep up with the maintenance. (Lost a lower shroud yesterday!) C&C are seaworthy and relatively fast boats and they will take you far if you put in the time and maintenance.
