The original paperwork on Liberty says nothing about it being a MKII
so I figure it to is a MKI. The hull # is 99 so I think the break off point is
changing from double digits to triple digits. That's my story and I'm sticking
to it !! :-))

I would like to get some tips on race tacking. On the genoa, the issue is how
to get the new sheet in as far as possible as fast as possible to minimize
grinding on the new tack. I am usually shorthanded, which makes this
especially challenging. Doing some reading, I realize that I have been
If anyone is following the "new" C&C 41 Redline development, it has just
pulled into Bermuda with a cluster of other yachts. My guess, it is in the
top third of competitors.
Not bad for the first regatta.
Congrats to all those involved!

I think slow turns are good for at least 2 reasons:
1. It gives the trimmer an easier time to get the sail in before needing a
winch.
2. Too fast a turn usually is slow since a) the rudder acts like a brake and b)
it can lose proper
water flow over it if turned too fast which requires the flow
Dave,
I agree with Charlie on the slow turns - as long as it doesn't stop the
boat too much. Our fully crewed racing tack would be to start the turn
slowly to gain height, then a slightly faster turn into the new tack, but
modifying that for shorthanded would be faster and is what we do when

Richard,
All boats with right hand prop rotation tend to veer to port when under power.
It is generally more noticeable at lower speeds, but is present all the time.
It is called torque steer and is the forward motion version of prop walk.
On my 38 it needs 4 or 5 degrees of starboard rudder at
cking the genoa

When I was buying my 38 Mk 2 (hull #132) recently, the prior owner told
me the difference between the mk1 and mk2 was a deeper rudder and more
keel ballast on the mk2.
He said those adjustments were made to try to provide better downwind
control in broachable conditions.

I think that there is a problem with the traveler. I replaced my old bridge
deck mounted Schaefer traveler that came on the boat with a Garhauer. I can
adjust the traveler from behind the helm using one hand in 15-20 knots. The
Garhauer has a 6:1 purchase on a ball bearing car.

When going through the tack and at the point where the boat is head to wind,
let her glide a bit, say half a boat length or so depending on your

David,
What purchase do you have on your traveler? On my 34+, I have a Harken system
with 4:1 mounted on the coach roof. I just recently rebuilt it using the old
car and track by replacing the ball bearings and replacing the moving blocks
and end plates for the car. We were out in 15+ winds yes

I notice that many people tend to use an arm, rather than their body, to grind.
I teach my crew to stand on the cockpit seat and place one foot against the
rail. Then face aft and grind with both hands while the tailer calls the trim.
If you're not doing that, try it, and you'll notice the diffe
I agree with the prior comments on coordinating the turn with the trimmers,
our boats carry lots of cloth and you have to winch everything with any
significant wind once they get filled-in.
As for the traveler, I adjust it all the time (I "pre-move it" before /
while tacking or winch most of the
I recently cut up a bedroom set from the 60s that was solid teak, so the

Not surprising that a new boat unfamiliar to the crew would have a tough
