I recently went from a C&C24 to a C&C27MkII, only really for reasons of
more space below (giant dog as crew), and a bit more stable (Admiral
doesn't like heeling). Originally I was looking for a 30, but the 27
had all of the advantages of the 30, but in a smaller (cheaper) package.
The 24 was more fun to sail, and I never found speed to be an issue on
her, particularly in the usual light air up this way. I would regularly
catch and pass larger boats. Nothing lowly about the 24.
Cheers,
Paul.

My C&C24 is almost perfect for the kind of sailing we do, day
cruising. The only racing I do is with a few friends when we're all
out together for a day sail and one of us brags that
"my Morgan, or C&C, or Pearson is faster than your boat". My boating
two footitis is more
like 6 foot itis. I think I would be content with a 30 footer to get:
cabin headroom, maybe wheel
steering, a bigger cockpit for the social sailing days, and perhaps a
few galley amenities. Oh, and most importantly, speed.
Other than that, I like the 24 just fine.

Re: New C&C Welcome
Ed : A small tidbit of information. The photoalbum started with ten
of us . Stu and I had C&C 24's back then. So there is no such thing
as a lurker. We all are here to get great information and learn from
each other. There are a few other 24 owners on the list and I am not
sure if the Photos of our old 24's are still up but they are great
boats also. Welcome to the list to John also.

Welcome John,
I'm somewhat of a lurker, with a lowly C&C 24, but I love reading
this list. And now there's
a new generation of boat to read about. BTW, I learned to sail in
Northport Bay when I lived in Centerport,
great memories. Now I'm on Lake Champlain in Vermont, where the
mountains make the wind come from
all directions, sometimes 180 degrees change within seconds, and the
chop is, well..... choppy.
Very different than Long Island Sound or the ocean, but it makes for
screaming guests.

Lol. She's in Centerport, NY(long island sound) and is named Paws;
like her predecessors. I was originally looking for a late 80's 38.
My wife wanted a J boat (yep, you read that right). We found the
121 and instantly felt like we had returned home. Tartan did a nice
job of retaining the feel of the 90's vintage C&C's - big boats with
a ton of sail area. What caught us by surprise was the light weight.
You just know the boat wants to sail. Not all that different from
the original in their day. Now if they could have matched the
woodworking.....

Hi John,
And welcome to the list.
We're mostly a group of the oldies and goodies as you seem aware.
The past sponsor of the West Coast Rendezvous, Yachts West,
brought a Tartan build C&C 115 to the event one year and they
didn't get beat up too badly.
