I do not have particular expierience with "light air" boats but would have generally said that the 37+ was one. A rule of thumb I use is that boat speed should be about half of apparent wind speed while closehulled, up to 14 knots. Above that we should start working to flatten the boat but can wa

One of the the things I love about my 40 is how well she sails in light air. She lives. On a mooring and it's hard to keep the batteries charged. Because even in the lightest air we can sail on and off...as we did last night at sunset Andy C&C 40 Peregrine Andrew Burton 61 W Narragansett Newpor

Can't help on the 115 but our 121 is great in light air. Flat water and 10 knots appar = 7+ knots of boat speed on most points. I would expect the 115 to be at least as good. Polars for the 121 are on my site under resources. John Sent from my iPad > On Aug 25, 2014, at 4:55 PM, David Robe

David, Absolutely positively the C&C 37+ is not a light-air boat. But, yes, the interior accommodations more than make up for it. And yes, with more than 10 she sails very well. This past Saturday, we sailed with the jib only in 15 and were above 8 knots in speed (or, as we say

Hey folks, Are there any C&C 115 owners out there who cruise shorthanded? We have a crew on race night but we like to cruise our boats as well. We are currently racing our Catalina 30. We do pretty well until the wind drop down to 4, 5, 6 knots. So I am also wondering how the 115 does in light
