Experience:
We owned a 1975 C & C 27', a fantastic and rapid boat. We sailed Lake Champlain for 5 years.

Boat Review/Upgrades:
We loved the look of the boat, the interiors, the features that sailboat had to offer. We were conscious that it is a heavy boat, we heard it isn't quite fast, but we wanted a boat that is strong and reliable. We were surprised, it is fun to sail, we had a few friendly races with bigger Beneteau, Gib'sea, C & C and we did fine. We feel the boat is safe but needs to be prepared before going to sea. We intend to change the electonics, buy an autopilot, prepare the boat for the sea. . . . The boat was well equiped (propane stove, 4 batteries, dodger, bimini, wind generator, GPS, well-designed electical circuit, in good general shape and clean. Not too expensive and very appealing to us (isn't it what is really important, after all??) We loved it at first sight, and still do after 4 years. We plan to install a Maxprop next summer, because this boat doesn't back up at all.....
