Curtis, I have the owners manual for Penniless and there is no mention of a
'sail plan'. The pictures show what looks like a 140 or 150 and that is about
it.
For your information, I use the 155 up to about 15 - 18 apparent, then drop to
the 140. Unless I am racing, and then sometimes I'll reef and leave the 155 so
I can go better downwind. This assumes no spinnaker. On the Chesapeake, I am
not alone with only one reefing point. As you (I'm sure) have experienced, the
rudder loses effectiveness when heeled with the rail under, so that is when I
drop down to the 140. l have the original 'working jib' by Hood which is still
in very good shape - hardly ever gets out of the bag, so I don't have much
experience in that area.

Yeeea, Maybe I was not clear on my point.I am kinda just looking for written
speck's on the boat. I wanted to have it in my book. I wanted the official C&C
version. I would like to see how the numbers measure up other boats. Not
looking for sailing advise. I know when to shake one out or the fly the kite.
That's why I gave an example.
Thank you for your help.

Good point Joe. I did make the assumption that he was talking about a
monohull despite referencing a catamaran.

P.S. So the charter companies don't like seeing their boats sailed
properly?

You are missing a vital point. Charter cats NEED a written sailplan. They
have little to no steering feel and don't heel until it is too late. If you
leave too much sail up they might just round up against full rudder, go really
fast but ruin the sails*, break something, or perhaps capsize. It should be
very obvious when a C&C needs some sail trim. If you need both hands on the
wheel to steer and the rail is underwater that is a good hint. You also need to
know the strength of the sails and the strength of the crew. My #1 genoas could
be used off the wind in a lot more wind than would be good for the light cloth.
My spinnaker is a light air sail for us while cruising. We don't have the
manpower to handle a heavy air spinnaker run with just my wife and I to do all
the work.
*do not show charter company video of their boat doing 15 knots. Just
sayin'

Can anybody give me the sailplan for my boat? What sail to use under what
wind condition. What is the comfort rating, tern over ratio. I have no paper
work with this boat that shows this information. It would be nice to have a
printed version of this information.
example on sail -plan
The sail plan for a Lagoon 380 in sustained winds is as follows:
Force 5 winds (up to 22 knots): full sail, both main and jib.
Force 6 winds (22 to 26 knots): one reef in the main and full jib.
Force 7 winds (27 to 28 knots): one reef in the main and one reef in the
jib.
Force 7 winds (29 to 33 knots): two reefs in both the main and the jib.
Force 8 winds (34 to 38 knots): two reefs in the main and three reefs in
the jib.
Force 9 winds (39 to 44 knots): drop mainsail completely and three reefs
in jib.
Above 44 knots, all sail is dropped and the mainsail bag and boom will be
quite enough sail, thank you.
Thanks for your help...
