The C&C 30 MKI is fine for racing. It is especially good going to weather in winds above 15 apparent. Make the bottom clean and get a good sail inventory, new sails made specifically for your boat help a lot. Theoretically PHRF or let's just say handicap racing is supposed to give every boat in the fleet a fair shot. You should be very competitive racing against boats with a similar speed potential to yours and especially in heavier winds. You may have more difficulty if the fleet is not divided according to speed potentials because large spatial separations will likely develop and consequently conditions can vary more between where the slower and faster boats are sailing on the course. Once the boat is "race ready" then it's up to you and your crew, learn the rules of racing well and try to keep her moving forward in clean air.learning how to make the boat go fast will be more difficult than equipping the boat for racing.so the onus is more on the humans than it is on the boat.don't let your design become an "excuse for losing", the 30 MKI is a proven performer and most of us here know that.

What can be done to make it be more competitive? anybody want to share? The boat is new to me "well" a couple of years now but I think I would like to race a little but don't want to race a boat that cant win. Thanks for your help.
