Hah, good point, that reminds me I've got tired old sails and the Morris had the brand new fancy gray ones!!

I did get schooled last weekend by a good friend (an accomplished racer) in a C&C 32 with tired sails. (My 33-2 is faster, hands down, I’m not.) I Had to work very hard and find another gear to slowly catch up. This in support of dwight’s point - the driver may matter more than the car.

I am a little bit of that vintage lately having become more selective based on potential boat speed or phrases numbers. The landfalls are great C&C’s. I had a landfall 35 close by me in the yard. Nice and the 38 too. I like the ways my 35MKII flies on that tack. Waterline length is important but sail trim and crew work snd helm control are important. Get the boat in the groove on that tack probably she’ll let you know On Wed, Sep 8, 2021 at 11:05 PM Peter Cowenhoven via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: Always pleasantly surprised at the speed of the C&C. This past Sunday with 10 to 15kn wind I was sailing from Shelter Island with a friend in a 92 Morris Justine. On the a 13 mile run between Orient Point and Westbrook CT on a beam to close reach the C&C Landfall consistently outpaced the Morris. By the end we were probably close to 3/4 mile ahead. I though weight might be the biggest factor but the sail area to displacement favored the Morris?? Does this come down to hull shape? Not sure I was out sailing him as I think he was pretty dialed in as well. I suppose the Morris may be more built for offshore maybe?? Would love some thoughts from the group! Thanks in advance!!
