I have been racing on Wednesday nights this year after a hiatus from racing
for about 15-20 years; this is beer can racing, not the balls to the wall ocean
stuff, I am racing my 1985 C&C 37, (cruising sails,135 jib, bimini, dodger,
centerboard, dirty bottom, the list goes on). but I must say it has really been
fun; One of the biggest surprises is that this boat is not only competitive,
but we are winning races..; on light air nights was walk away from the fleet!
So, my question to Rob Ball and Rob Mazza and any of the other individuals who
go back to the time these boats were conceived and produced...did you have any
inkling that they would still be racing and competitive 35-40 years into the
future?
Whatever decisions you made then about boat the design phase...speed, handling
and the million other factors that go into building a fast boat, you certainly
got it right!
I know from the comments on other boats, both here and on Facebook, that other
owners are also having success on the race course, whether its a 29, 30, 33, 35
or 40, or more. So, please shed some light on the collective thinking of the
design team on the longevity and competitiveness of these wonderful boats!
And, thank you!Richard
