Joe,
My C&C 41CB is the tall rig. The shallow draft and the tall rig are nice
features for cruising or racing on the Chesapeake Bay.
She is more tender than my previous C&C 30, so I have to shorten sail sooner.

centerboard versions are not the tall mast boats. Draft issues aside, the tall
mast would be nice around here, lack of wind is a much more common issue than
too much. I once watched a C&C 44 trounce a fleet of smaller C&Cs in light air,
what breeze there was existed above everyone else’s sails but the 44. Anyway –
back to the video – that looks like absolute sailing heaven. We almost never
seem to be that lucky. Notice it was relatively dry and no banging. We seem to
get more often than not is confused seas, say two different sets in the
10-15-20 foot range that will occasionally combine and drop a mountain of water
on the boat. Even two sets of 10 footers will make the occasional 20 footer.
Then there was the “toilet bowl”, one time at the edge of the Gulf Stream we
got drenched by waves from port, starboard, and then aft in short succession.
The 35 MK I does well with coming back up at least, a big breaking wave can lay
you over and she just pops right back up – no worries😊 Joe Coquina

calculation the C&C 40 tall mast is quite tender. The 30 MK1 is very stiff and
the 35 MKI is in the sweet spot. This diagram predicts well what I have
observed with the C&C designs i have sailed. Thanks to all of the
