Stus-List C&C 30 MK1 PHRF racing

Hi Steven, "I am pointing well, though wounder if I should pinch more or be more off the wind for speed? I seemed to be passed on reaching and running" I don't sail a 30 but for pretty much any boat the pinch vs speed question the answer depends on the headsail you use, wind speed, chop, the sh

Randy, I can’t comment on rig tuning for a 30 but for your 1-4 list here are a few tips. 1 – Boat speed is very important. Going up wind keeping up your speed through the water will allow the keel to generate lift. 2 – Don’t pinch trying to outpoint the Catalinas. Don’t trim your genoa

It's awesome that you have a half-dozen 30-1s racing in your club. You could have your own little one-design fleet :) You must be somewhere on the Great Lakes I'd guess. And your competition may be reading this email thread :) Regarding tuning the rig, I just followed the owner's manual. Center

Hi Steve, Earlier this year I asked a number of questions about racing a 30-1, since I just bought one (hull #7) this year and started racing it. The good folks on this list were kind enough to share their wisdom with me. Here are links to the relevant threads in the email list archives: * h

C&C 30 mark 1's will do relatively better when it is blowing. Don't miss the heavy air nights. I never thought mine did that well when I pinched. Best way to tell for sure to is look at your VMG with a GPS. Good Luck david On 2016-07-15 09:13 AM, Steven Tattrie via CnC-List wrote: Hi, I h

I'm in a J30 one design fleet in Annapolis, but there are also PHRF classes in Annapolis and West River. Not sure of the details. The Cruiser class has been switching to ORC for weekend races. While I suspect most C&Cs are in the database, a Hylas 44 was not. Joel On Fri, Jul 15, 2016 at 1:29

On the Hudson River, we use ToT at the club level and ToD for interclub regattas. The rationale for ToT at the club level is roughly: 1. The RC doesn't need to know the exact length of the course. While we race around fixed marks, the RC boat will move to give us the best approximate W/L course.

We raced a 115 against a J109 for several years. We were rated 63 and the 109 rated 66. Usually we were ahead of the 109. 63 was a fair rating The 115 goes upwind really well. It especially loves weight on the rail. The gear is in some cases a bit undersized. Main can be a bit tricky as th

Yes. We switched to PHRF TOT from our former ASPN (also TOT) system in 2009. Atlantic Speed Potential Number was in fact our Time Correction factor in percent. It was simpler for the racers than PHRF but made a lot more work rating existing boats that came from other areas and already had an e
