If you know that the forecast is for 20-25 kt winds, then why don't you put
a reef in?

More boat ignorance from the guy who thinks Beneteau is an upscale boat!
The C&C 32 has a very small main. I've reefed it twice in lighter conditions.
On this particular day I opted to go full and see how she'd do on main alone.
It worked fine and we had hull speed. Later we were able to find some lulls and
fly the jib, furled down. It was a fun, if somewhat wet, sail.
