I had C&C 34 hull nbr. 28. I found that in true winds above 12 kts we experienced a lot of leeway. I was told by C&C that the original design called for 6’6” of draft but the marketing people had it cut back to 5’10”. Rob Ball was kind enough to provide scale drawings for the shoe that we added. Eight inches and 400 lbs. Our upwind performance improved dramatically in moderate to heavy winds. Our light air performance was slightly slower. I recall our phrf rating was lowered 3 seconds a mile.
