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 commentīs 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.

Thankīs it helpīs! Currently we sail with Elan 33 which is roomy but
not very fast. C&C 115 is interesting because of itīs performance
however family cruising is also important. For example we have a Zodiac
260 dinghy, is there enough storage space for that?

IMS is not crusial, we can also race under LYS, famouse here in
Northern Europe )

Iīd be happy to get more commentīs on C&C 115
