David, I had a C&C 25 Mk 1 for about 14 years, cruised and raced on occasion in the Jib and Main class. I had a 100% mylar jib, 130 dacron jib and a 150 Mylar Genoa, all attached with a Tuff Luff headstay foil. No furler which allowed the jibs to really be a deck sweeper. I had separate inboard tracks and cars for the working jib and the larger Genoa which gave me a better sheeting angle. I also had an adjustable backstay with a gross and fine tune with a similar set up for the boom end main sheet. I would set up my shrouds according to wind conditions, allowing for 4" circles at the turnbuckle in light air and 2" circle for wind over 15 kts for the outer shrouds. I had a Loos gauge but only used it a few times. Since my boat had an outboard on a bracket, I'm sure I wasn't doing myself any favors by having a 9.8hp 4 stroke outboard with electric start hanging off the back of the transom, but I had my fill of balky lightweight 2 stroke outboards that never wanted to start when you needed them, so the heavy engine stayed put when I raced. Most other folks that I've know who were serious about racing would use little 4 hp 2 strokes that they'd store down below when they went racing. As far as sailing these days, I bought a Landfall 35 to replace the 25 but use it exclusively for day sailing and weekend cruising. I found myself having more fun racing on other folk's boats and dinghies than trying to do it all on the family cruiser. Chuck Gilchrest S/V Half Magic 1983 35 Landfall Padanaram, MA

I see you have a C&C 25. I do as well and am fairly new to the boat, not as much to sailing but the boat. Do you have info on rig tensions using Loos (vs wind conditions) or sheet placement for foresails. I’ve done trial and error but wondering if there is anything out there for setting up the boat for racing. > On Feb 24, 2021, at 9:47 AM, Kevin Wright via CnC-List > <[email protected]> wrote: > > Thanks Lloyd and Doug for the responses. > The 39 is a good looking boat, I've never seen one in person. > I guess by the lack of responses that there are just not that many Landfall > 43 out there.
