Default Rainy Day Sail


But, looking at the specs reveals a somewhat skimpy ballast to
displacement ratio.
Do you find the yacht to be a bit tender or does the beamy hull form
stand up
to a gust pretty well/


To be honest, I was expecting a much lighter feeling boat. My
impression when sailing her in 20 knots+ in Florida was that she was
somewhat tender...and she did round up more than once. Now that we've
gotten used to her I think she's stiffer than the C&C 32 was. One of my
friends said, "she feels stiff for a 30 footer" so he at least felt she
was a bit tender for her size.
