I had a couple set screws rust. But the barrels do not seem to self-adjust w/o
the screws on short day races. The 115 is very good to race - races to her
PHRF. And an excellent coastal cruiser. Very comfortable for a couple for a two
weeek jaunt. Not sure why more 115s aren't out there.

I have been crewing on Dave Barlow's C&C 115 Koobalibra for the past three
seasons. We have had a lot of issues with the factory barrells as the set
screws rust in place and other issues. Is very difficult to adjust rig tension
with this setup. Yes still rod rigging.
Another 115 is now called Pandora and was Triumph - owned by Peter Bromley and
also at RNSYS. I believe he changed to wire and open turnbuckles a few years
ago.
Sandy MacMillan of North Sails contacted Dave and has a plan to change over the
turnbuckles to something more workable. We are lucky since North Sails locally
took an interest in the C&C 115 fleet and hosted a tuning seminar in May for
the three 115s at RNSYS with Andreas Josenhans, Sandy MacMilaln and one other
115 sailmaker out of Florida. Andreas also watched the entire premier fleet
including the 115s at the Prince of Wales race in September of this year. Lots
of photos and suggestions for making the boats go faster and the crews sail
better.
Great boats to sail esp in 13-18 knots!

North Sails Atlantic is reworking the turnbuckles on the 115 we sail on. We
are meeting with them tommorrow. If anyone is interested I can update on what
type of system is replacing the barrels currently in use.
