John Some C&C 27 MKII's had a similar boom, looked too long but I believe the design might have been intentional due to main sheet traveller location...nothing wrong with a high aspect ratio main sail on the C&C 30, According to measurements on the C&C photoalbum the E dimension for the 30 MKI is 11 feet 6 inches Dwight Veinot C&C 35 MKII, Alianna Head of St. Margaret's Bay, NS [email protected]
