Also.... I recall the
C&C27 to have a lower PHRF than my Nordica 30... mine was 180.

That's a typical rating for the 27, which was slower than my Pearson 30 and
needs minimal chop to do well. It's an okay starter boat, but has no serious
intentions as does the Nordic.
The 27 is a bay boat at best. Next week we're taking C&C 32 to Coney Island to
watch the sharks feed!
