The good thing about the older design is
Our 1970 Redwing 35 (C 35-1) came with a boat load of sails. It was a
campaign boat for the Chi-Mac, sailing under the name Red Pepper. We
just took a Reacher, Lapper, Storm Jib, #1 and #3 in to Sea Bags of
Maine. We are getting custom bags made from the #1 and #3 with the sail
numbers.
I sail solo 80% of the time on My 37. She loves to sail with just the 130
genny! Good up to 18-20knt. As mentioned keeps up with most with no main, and
still very balanced ! Very little sacrifice in speed. If I could only reach
the winches from behind the wheel!

only about 1 kt less sailig jib alone but I couldn't sail as close to the

My boat sails fine with just genoa too. Only two lines to deal with and the
cockpit is quiet and less busy. Great for lunch or snacking.
It sails fine with just main, also, and tacking in tight quarters is easier.
Handles like a laser.
With a J of 14'10" and an E of 15'1" they are almost the
That's nice. I know what to mean about tacking main only in heavy air.
Makes a bad day enjoyable

Bill, The 39 that my family had came with a modified deep keel (7' 1") and
a shortened boom (12' if I remember correctly). She went up-wind like a
witch! But the round-ups were often spectacular

One of the things I loved about my 40 (and my current boat) was the fact that
she was so weatherly and easily-driven. Sailing back to Newport from Cuttyhunk
I would often be able to sail when all the Benehuntacats were motoring, or if
they sailed they would slowly fade off to leeward and end up

My boat sails quite well with just the genoa. Prior to roller furling this was
a pain, wind changes were sail changes, but now it makes life easy cruising

Ps – back in the day the 170s were not exotic racing sails, they were just the
normal light air sail. They worked (and still
