I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you to this wonderful community!  The tech notes and forum have been an invaluable resource over the last eight years.  This was our first experience with a cruising boat and we've had an amazing time sailing our C34 all around the Chesapeake, and learned so much from this group about maintaining and upgrading our floating vacation home.

As our sailing family grows we're looking to move into a three cabin boat.  If a c425 was in our budget it would certainly be high on our list, but alas, that's a big leap.  We have a lead on a Hunter 460 and the 34 is now listed for sale.

Thank you, safe travels & fair winds

The c42 is certainly an option.  The Admiral isn't a huge fan of the linear galley, but as with everything; it's a tradeoff.

I hear ya on the linear galley.  It is also not my favorite.

Runs in a straightline on one side of the boat. Unlike an "L" or "U" shaped galley.

Too bad in one of the layouts with a V-berth, the C42 aft berth is really a Quarter berth which in my mine makes it a single . So you have a couple (2) for the Vberth and only a single (1) in the aft berth!!!

It depends on which layout.  I delivered a 42 Pullman "Oasis" from MD to Great Neck that had double aft "cabins," easily accommodating 4, or 6 tight.  A sweet boat. 
There is a model w/ n aft L galley but the layout gobbles up the aft port cabin.
Twenty years from now you'll be more disappointed by the things you didn't do, than by the ones you did.
So throw off the bowlines.  Sail away from the safe harbor.  Catch the tradewinds in your sails.
