Paul, The difference between a 24 on a 30 is striking but, on top of that, the C&C 30 is one of the stiffest boat ever constructed by C&C. I suggest that you show this graph to your wife (taken from the C&c Photo Album) : http://www.cncphotoalbum.com/technical/stability.htm It show that the C&C 30 is beaten only by the Landfall series (and not all of them) and much bigger boats. Down side of it, light winds, I've seen faster boats than this one in light winds. Pay attention also to the age of the sails. Old sails that have lost their shape give more heel than speed. It is surprising how the heeling angle improves with new sails.
Antoine (Cousin, C&C 30) Sorry, I'm on east cost and the boat is on the hard until May.
