As has been noted, it's all about personal preference. One thing we C&C owners have going for us is the fact that our boats perform better than most out there. With that in mind, I mostly fly my working jib, which looks like it's about 100%, maybe 110%. Even in light air I go better than most of the Benehuntecats. Three things make this one my choice: it's easy to tack around my babystay, easy to grind in, and when the breeze is up, it still looks good and I don't need to worry about it breaking in a big puff. I'm not racing, so I don't need to get every tenth of a knot out of the boat. When I do race, I have a 155 that comes way back to the back of the house and is a bear to tack...or so it seems from my perch behind the wheel. Andy C&C 40 Peregrine
