It's a 1986 C&C 27-5. You've seen pictures of it.

You know what, Billy?
Our boat (or my WIFE's if THAT helps!) is faster, bigger, in better shape,
better equipped, better sailed, sailed more often, worth more and so on.
After 1985 C&C started making occasional lemons....ask anyone who knows C&C.
Awful interior on the 27 as well. Don't feel to bad. My first boat was a puny
27 as well.
I see the 27 is rated around 180, still slower than my old Pearson 30. There
are a few of the newer 27s around here. They have a nice hull shape, but that
window is horrible! The overall effect is that it looks 24 or 25 feet LOA.
Wanna race, dopey??!!! I'll just use the genoa alone!

And...BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!

For Gawd's sake Bob... don't race a C&C 27..... it's one of the fastest
boats I've raced against.

Average rating here is 180. There's at least 2 over here and my Pearson 30
could pass them without too much trouble. They're quick for a 27 footer
compared to a Hunter 27. The S2 7.9 is faster. A Tartan 28 may be as well.
Here are the N. California ratings....

Note that my C&C 32 is rated at 156. On the sound with it's light air, it's
rated at 165. Lowest rating I've found is 150.

You should have named her "Snail-ien".

I would suggest that you don't boast about your stepping stone's
performance, until you have a boat that performs.

I'm sailing a J29 next week, Donal. Now that's a pretty fast boat!
If you think a boat is slow at 150, what must you think of Billys, Moorons or
most of the other boats here??!!!

RB

I hope he holds my boat in the same regard I have shown for his......

PHRF 180....

You are the one boasting about your boat's performance, when its phrf is a
paltry 150!!!


Billy and Mooron seem to be contented with their vessels.

It's no wonder that you see your boat as a stepping stone!

I bet that your current source of income is also a "stepping stone"?? At
your age you really should have reached *some* of your goals.


It looks like you are destined to go through life without ever reaching any
destination.


You should look at most of the people that you, so freely, disparage.


Every post that SV does about sailing exudes contentment. Mooron seems to
live the life of Riley. MC loves his boat. Neal seems to be at one with
his boat. Capt America has just realised a lifelong ambition and is staying
in luxury in Hawaii. Jon is sailing regularily in the Bay. Skitch has an
IP, and BB seems to love his boat.


Only *one* person here seems to be unhappy with his lot! Only *one* person
seems to be stuck on a stepping stone at the age of 40+.

Yes, Bob. YOU!


Now you can go into your living room and tell (the non-existant) Suzzy that
you dished out a good beating to some weakling on the internet tonight.

Good words. Not only that but Ella love me too and will keep me and my
partner safe in any storms! When we first got her she misbehaved a bit
but with loving attention she has come to return our love.

Cheers MC

But j29's can be beaten by lowly Express 30's.

Does no one here sail a performance cruising yacht except me?
