On my 27 MkIII I installed the Lewmar size 1, it uses the existing holes.
Happy with it ( but I customized it for single handling )

Chris,
I meant to say “I upgraded to New Dacron sails and changed the Genoa to a 135”
I might have got a little more speed from the folding prop, but the laminate
Genoa sets much better and allows me to point a little higher. A laminate main
would improve that some more. And hopefully reduce the “bubble” at the luff.

Chris,
When I bought the 26, It came with a 150 Dacron genoa and a Dacron main. After
a few years I upgraded to new Dacron sails and changed the main to a 135. Later
I changed the Genoa to a 135 laminate sail from Evolution Sails in Toronto.Both
upgrades improved performance (after all it is a sail boat), but the laminate
sail was such a difference that I think I would go with a 110 if I was doing it
again.I still have the new Dacron main but I might go with a laminate one day.
Best upgrades:New sailsFolding propSelf tailers (The folding prop might have
given me more speed than the new sails)

Thank you Sam!
This 26' could be dropped in tomorrow. Most issues are cosmetic with the
exception of one stanchion and either the water fill or septic pump out cap
(don't want to confuse the two) LOL So some recoring in the spring but I enjoy
that kind of work and it really is minimal. Other than that, shes good to go.
Thanks for the input. Main sail has two reef points which I am thankful for.

I have a 1977 C&C 26.I was looking for a 27 when I bought her.The 26 wasn’t
raced much; the 27 is still competitive!Most (many?) 27’s have been raced hard
and put away wet.That’s why I bought the 26 - it was in much better condition
than all the 27’s I looked at.The 26 is a tender boat!She does move quite well
in light air.I tend to reef early; but she still moves well, even when reefed.I
lake sail, so not sure what she’d be like in a big sea.I’ve had 7.4 knots on
occasion and high 6’s is fairly regular.She is a roomy boat which is nice!I
have a Yanmar 2GM20F in mine with a Flexofold prop.I’ve done lots of upgrades:
self trailers / new sails / adjustable Genoa cars / ridged vang / etc., etc..I
like the cockpit size and tiller steering up close to the companionway with the
genoa trimmer behind on the winches.She’s a good, solid boat compared to the
Hunters and Catalina’s on the lake.Don’t buy a project boat - get one you can
sail away!Upgrades are much more fun than repairs.I see too many project boats
that never get in the water.
