I never found the C&C 24 to be a particularly good pointer, but in light air the boat is pretty good for her number. The tack angle will vary depending on wind strength and headsail but in light air with a good No. 1 headsail maybe close to 100 degrees.

Light air is our advantage - I was asked once if I was motoring when passing by a bigger guy.... Since you say that your boat points well: can you tell what is your tacking angle in relatively flat water in about 10knts of true wind? (no pinching) Kind regards Marek Fluder C&C24 "Emilie" Hamilton Harbour, Ontario On Mon, Apr 29, 2013 at 10:33 AM, ok <orrk...@gmail.com> wrote: I've been sailing my new 1978 C&C 24 in Mobile Bay, Beer Can races each week since this season started. So far I've been doing a lot better than my previous boat, usually placing around 4th-8th. This weekend we had our big regatta, the Dauphin Island Race. I did fairly well placing 2nd in my class and 3rd in fleet. A light air run on the start got me ahead of the big pack into clean air, which quickly flipped 180 degrees into a close reach all the way to the finish. Passed a lot of big and fast boats. My C&C 24 points so well! Pretty happy with my little boat right now.
