I sailed and raced on a C&C24 for many years thru the 80s and early 90s. It is not 'lowly'. Besides the usual club racing we did a lot of long distance racing on Georgian Bay - equivalent to coastal sailing, sometimes finding ourselves in tough wind and sea conditions - but the boat always sailed well. My wife and I also took it to the North Channel in the great lakes.
The boat was my buddies, I would really like to know where it is today if anyone has heard or seen of it. It was named Wavetrain at the time, a 1977 24'. It had a yellow hull. I think it may have gone to Kincardine or Bayfield on Lake Huron.

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.
