Just wondering if there is anyone on the list who is doing or has done any club
racing in a C&C 24. I just started racing mine this season in a very mixed
fleet on Mobile Bay. It is the Niagara model with what I believe was the race
package or all the race rigging items were added later. It has a fresh bottom
and a new sails.
So far I have done fairly well in our pursuit style races. Unlike some of the
comments I found online, I've been able to point fairly well, even in some
cases leaving faster boats behind close hauled. In our mixed fleet I am right
in the middle of the pack or better. I've only sailed it five times. Close
hauled or a close reach things seem fine. Downwind is good. On a beam or
broad reach not so great. I'm pretty sure it could be faster. I set up a
barber hauler and that has helped with sail shape. I've not been able to find
the C&C 24 polars. I figure there is a lot to learn about course strategy and
sail trim with this particular boat. I'm pretty much looking for any kind of
pointers to help improve race results with my C&C 24.
Thanks!
