For some of us a race starts every time another sail is in sight. I am a little bit of that vintage lately having become more selective based on potential boat speed or phrases numbers. The landfalls are great C&C’s. I had a landfall 35 close by me in the yard. Nice and the 38 too. I like the ways my 35MKII flies on that tack. Waterline length is important but sail trim and crew work snd helm control are important. Get the boat in the groove on that tack probably she’ll let you know
