I bet that old iron jenny was revved up to max rpms
to catch up on and pass that J-24.

More ignorance on parade!
The C&C 32 would never catch the J24 with the motor on...it's impossible with
the folding prop. Best speed is 6 knots or so.
On a reach we average 7.5 to catch the J. Later we met another pair of J24s
(Omega on the sail) that were better handled. It took more effort to pass them
as they were trimming and working at it.
Let's see a Coronado 27 do that!

Bwahahahahaha! Poor Neal!!!
