Hi Allen,
Very interesting comments regarding your experience with a C&C MK2.
If you have a moment, let's connect up. Maybe we're related, as we own the
same boat...#115.

Hi Doug, I had Septima for 24 years. She has a winged keel. Sails really
fast and high if you limit heel to 17-18 degrees and no more than 4 degrees
rudder. I marked the leather wheel cover to indicate 4 degrees port or
starboard. Helms person puts approprite mark TDC, tells main trimmer, who
is playing mainsail lateral position with the Harken windward car on
traveler mounted on bridge deck, how helm feels. Too light, raise car, too
heavy, lower car an inch. The keel's foils are very efficient at racing
speeds. You don't want to stall them out.

Hi Doug, I'm just finishing my second season with my 30-2 and absolutely
love it! Although I don't race mine it would make an excellent race boat
and could be sailed to her rating fairly easily. I do my racing on a
friend's J35, so I don't need to spend the extra for the fancy sails for my
own boat. I have heard of some 30-2's that are raced very successfully on
Lake Ontario. I put on over 600nm each year cruising on Lake Superior and
this boat does it all very well. I've crossed the lake each year heading
down to Bayfield, she handles the big water with ease, but does like to be
reefed fairly early. I'm not sure if I would want the wing keel version?
Being a racer at heart, I do like how she points and it is a relatively
tender boat compared to other C&C's, so I'm just not willing to give up the
performance edge for a few inches of draft. Feel free to contact me at
svmeand...@gmail.com if you want anymore feed back on the 30-2.
As it's snowing here today I am going to haul out this afternoon :(
Reagrds,
Morgan Ellis
