Default C&C IMS racing and cruising

I know of only one C&C 115 that has been rated and competed under IMS
and they did not do well. That is here in the Southeastern U.S. and
it's difficult to say how much is the boat, how much the rating. It is
a pretty fast boat & said to be fun to sail, that's worth a lot. I tend
to blame the rating rule which seems to favor milk-carton-shaped hulls
that are all ballast with noodley rigs.


Also real life comment´s on how comfortable she
is and how easy is it to store all the things that are needed while
crusing with small kids.

Is this too much asked?


I have only been on one at the boat shows. I liked it (although not
enough to buy one). If you were moving up from a smaller boat, say a
9.5 meter LOA or less, it would seem very roomy. The interior is open &
light, well laid out IMHO although not much stowage. No sharp corners
and has good handholds. It is quite a bit roomier & more of a cruiser
than a J-105.

Hope this helps.
