My polar stops at 25 AWA, witch is my VMG. At 20 AWA, there is not much speed left. I did it once to pass a buoy without tacking. I'm not sure I could have hold it for long. Pierre Tremblay Avalanche C&C38-3 WK

If I take my 35 MKII up to 20 degrees apparent I am almost certain she would practically stop…maybe check the polar diagrams on that 38 WK because 20 seems to good. The polar diagrams for my 35 MKII don’t even show expected performance upwind in any wind strength, including light wind when sailing below 30 degrees apparent > >Dwight Veinot >C&C 35 MKII, Alianna >Head of St. Margaret's Bay, NS > > >________________________________ > >From:CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of j...@svpaws.net >Sent: April 17, 2013 10:50 PM >To: Pierre Tremblay; cnc-list@cnc-list.com >Subject: Re: Stus-List C&C 38 mkIII > >Thanks - very helpful.
