friend has one on Lake Superior. Has cruised it widely, including a couple
trips to Isle Royale from Cornucopia and Duluth, up to Houghton, etc. I
hope he'll accompany me to the Canadian coast this summer. Its certainly
more tender than the 30-1 I own, but noticeably faster in light air. Reef
early and often and you'll be fine.
The C Photoalbum has a Technical Info tab at left, select Stability
Diagram, and you'll see comparable stiffness/tenderness of C models.
