To Fireball. I would not call my 35 MKII a stiff boat. I have sailed mine
for about 15 years now in a varitey of conditions and she has handled all
very well and she is particularly good for a 35 footer as far as motion
comfort factor goes but i find as far as the stiffness factor goes she is

I did a race in 25 - 32 knots TWS, gusts to 47.
Highest I saw this year was for about 90 seconds or so in a squall,
readings to 52 knots steady. It increased, guessing over 55,
but I couldn't read the instruments anymore. During the peak

Toughest part
I hope you guys are all talking apparent wind strength

Or an inclinometer an inexpensive device that shows degree of heel. Mount
it in the cockit. Around 20 degrees of heel most C’s i have sailed are
quite fast but under 15 is more comfortable for some and not much slower on
a beat or close reach. Like using the heads or pouring a beverage is tricky
It’s situational, depending on the boat and who’s on it. On my 30 MK I, a
notoriously stiff boat, I’ll carry full main and 150% genoa in 20+ knots with
my racing crew aboard. Leisure sailing with my wife in the same conditions,
it’s main only, if she’ll even go out :)
I give my crew these
A lot depends on how tender your boat is. Fireball is a C 35 Mk2, a
fairly stiff boat, which sees a lot of racing and has a good sail
selection ( #1 150, #2 138, #3 120, #4 85) cut for Narraganset Bay
(average 15+ kts wind most every afternoon, except August .
For cruising, when the wind
Good advice from all. Typically, reef before reducing headsail. General
guidelines for my 35-1(in kts true):
Light 155 and full main to 10
All purpose 155 to 14-16
1st reef at 14 if carrying a 155
125 to 17-18
95 on inboard track to 20
95 on toe rail 20+
Sometimes we carry a full main with the
Brian, We reef around 20 knots. Too much heel is uncomfortable for the crew and
inefficient. We have an autopilot with a rudder indicator so it’s easy to see
when our rig is balanced (less rudder angle). We reef the main first like
someone already said and idk if 22 degrees of heel is fastest
Sorry about the previous post with the wrong subject. As soon as it
swshed, I knew I was a jerk.

Thanks
Reef before the wind gets too strong for you and crew to handle comfortsbly

When do I reef? It depends on the crew: if it's just Tami and I, I reef pretty
early or sail under just 100% jib alone. With a racing crew it mostly depends
on how far we are heeling. Our C seem to be most efficient at 22 degrees or
less heel when hard on the breeze. Maybe a little more
of effort, rolling in the jib
does not.

After spending a wonderful weekend with a bunch of great folks, Manon and I
sailed back to
Havre de Grace under the strongest conditions we have been in yet. We
usually stay put if the forecast is over 20. The forecast was 20s with
gusts to 30+. I was looking forward to testing my new rig,
