RE: catalina27-talk: Wind Speed For Sails

[Phil Agur]

Hi Henry,   I’ll start off but I’ve only been on a C27 once so I expect to be corrected. The simple answer is:   150 – 12-15 knots 130 – 15-25 knots 110 – 27-35 knots   But it’s never quite that simple. Are we talking hanked on deck sweepers or fuller cut sails? -          If they are furler cut does the furler have a double swivel or is the CDI type? -          If they are furler cut are they also roller reefing cut and padded? Is the boat rigged with racing controls or is it 3 sheets and a vang?   Phil Agur                    s/v Wing Tip Commodore,             Call Sign WCW3485 IC27/270A                   MMSI 366901790 www.catalina27.org      Vessel Doc# 1039809 -----Original Message----- From: catalina27-talk@memberclicks.com [mailto:catalina27-talk@memberclicks.com] On Behalf Of Henry Hubbard Sent: Tuesday, September 19, 2006 4:33 PM To: catalina27-talk@memberclicks.com Subject: catalina27-talk: Wind Speed For Sails   What would you say is the maximum, comfort zone and absolute safety, wind speed for a 150, 130 and 100 jib on a C27?   Henry Hubbard Idle Threat C27 #1067 Dahlgren, VA
