Agreed on the single-handing; I do it all the time on my Landfall 38. The wheel pilot helps.
As far as stiffness goes, the stability table on the C&C website shows both the 30mkI and the LF38 (along with all of the other larger Landfalls) together on the “Stiff” side of the chart. I’ve been lucky to have had both the 30 and the LF38. The 36 looks to be a fair amount more tender than either, so shorten sail early. — Fred Fred Street -- Minneapolis S/V Oceanis (1979 C&C Landfall 38) -- on the hard in Bayfield, WI :^( > On Dec 12, 2017, at 12:56 PM, Della Barba, Joe via CnC-List > <[email protected]> wrote: > > I too singlehand my 35 without a second thought.
