The “newer” C&Cs come with some nice stuff -- carbon masts, sprits, nice, roomy
accommodations belowdecks, e-glass hulls – and now, like the “older” boats, the

another 110 for the last five years. Seriously considered a

I'd have to read my actual contract to know how our yard handles this. But, in

If you sail and are going to race on Lake Michigan -- at least down near
Chicago, which is where we are -- you have to deal with big winds in the Spring
and Fall with the doldrums in between. We now sail a C&C 110, but used to own a
C&C 32, on which we carried a furling 150 to span the wind rang
A good friend of mine lost his year-old impeller on the way out of the harbor

Absolutely right. Most people around the Chicago area, where I live, look at
the size of Lake Michigan and just assume it has a big drainage area, which it
doesn't. There's a ridge that runs through the western suburbs that demarcates
the lake's drainage from the Mississippi's. When I go downtow
