Thanks guys, that's really helpful!  Sounds like I could survive on a 27' but I won't be able to stand up completely but I guess that's about what I expected.

I'm experienced with smaller powerboats but pretty new to sailing and want to have something easy to go out in including going alone so I can spend time learning and practicing without worrying that I'm boring somebody else to death.  I have this idea that a smaller boat would be better for that both when under sail and also when leaving or returning to the dock.  Even though the 30 is only 3' longer, it seems like a lot more boat to me.

As far as ocean sailing, I will initially spend a lot of time on the river which at 3 miles wide or more gets a little rough, it's not like your lake or the Atlantic.


Thank you again,

Joe

Thanks Steve, I did review the evolution section and the sea change section and other info but never saw anything about head room.  Do you have an idea of what the upper limiit would be on your Mk V, e.g., would someone who is 5' 10" be able to stand upright?

There aren't any C&C 27s for sale in my area so I'd hoped someone could give me some idea.  I know it won't be enough for me to stand up and that's okay, I just want to know something more than I do now.  I looked at a C&C 24 in person this past weekend and was amazed at how short its cabin is.

I plan to day sail mostly on the St. Johns River but want something I can stay in overnight as well.  I don't want to go over 30' so I'm guessing I wouldn't be able to find standing headroom in any alternative boats either, so if the 27' isn't too short down below I'll continue to be interested in it.


Thank you

Hi,

Can anyone give me a rough idea of height of the cabin of the C&C 27 and are there significant differences between the different Marks? I'm 6'3" and don't expect it will have standing headroom for me, but I'd like to get an idea of the height of the 27s including the relative differences between Marks.


Thank you!!
