Hi Everyone,
We really like our 35/3. She sails well, cockpit is great, inside feels like a wooden boat, lots of character. But I have to admit we are quite frustrated with the lack of storage space on board. Our old C&C 27 had far more storage space than the 35 has. What's difficult is there is no storage to speak of under any of the seating. The forward part of the vee berth has water tank, port & starboard settees have water, forward port settee has holding tank, aft port settee has batteries, quarterberth is taken up with fuel tank.
I plan on removing the chart roll holders under the chart table & replacing with a drawer. I've removed the wine rack from the galley & use it for storage. We use the shower for a wet hanging locker. Another thing we've done is reorganize the starboard cockpit locker to make it more useable - must do something to the aft locker.
Would appreciate any ideas any other owners have come up with for increasing the storage.
Many thanks to all who respond.
Cheers,
Steve Gabbott
