Or an inclinometer an inexpensive device that shows degree of heel. Mount it in the cockit. Around 20 degrees of heel most C&C’s i have sailed are quite fast but under 15 is more comfortable for some and not much slower on a beat or close reach. Like using the heads or pouring a beverage is tricky when heeled over 15 degrees
