Having raced for the past five years on a J-80 and on a Melges 24, having the
crew in back is to get the bow up and help the boat onto a plane. If you sit in
the middle, it just wants to be a very fast and wet displacement boat. You move
back and the bow comes up, you pop onto a plane, and you go faster - way faster.

I was struck by the fact that with the chute up, the bobstay was constantly
throwing up spray which to me means it is like adding a brake to the bow.
Probably not a big issue on a boat of this size, but on a dinghy it would be
slow. On another boat, the entire crew was standing near the transom,
presumably trying to keep the bow high which I would guess was for the same
reason. It would leave me concerned about the balance of the boat with that
monster chute up. Dave

The attached video was included in a post from a sailing TV website this
morning. I have to say I’m impressed to see so many C&C 30s on the line, and
the performance of the boats is impressive. Certainly not “us father’s” C&C.
And pretty athletic for this fat old man. But impressive none the less.
