Default C&C IMS racing and cruising


"symichelle" wrote in message

I am currently very interested in C&C 115. Is it really high quality
boat as they explain in theyr site?

My target is to race under IMS and also some family cruising. Our
holiday includes 4 weeks sailing, Is this boat enough comfortable for
this also?


Errrr. I hate to say this but I can tell just from your two questions that
you're a totally uninformed buyer. See, when people haven't a clue they're
easy to spot by their dumb questions. Their obvious inability to prioritize.
Like, what's the best boat for me? Duh! If you have to ask and you are
yourself and you know yourself how do expect somebody else who doesn't
know you to know?
It's like asking which suntan lotion smells the best. What somebody else
thinks smells the best might smell like a skunk to you. So take my advice and
study up about boats. Make a list of what's most important to you but only
after you know something about sailboats. Technical stuff even though it's
boring you should know first. Like how tippy the boat is. Called righting moment.
Or capsize ratio.... Things like motion/comfort, SA/Disp, LWL etc are all very
important. You need to know these things before you can make an informed
decision.
Only after you know these things then you can make your list of what's
important to you. Then you can match only boats that have the right stuff to
your list. Don't go off half-cocked or you'll end up sailing some dangerous and
flimsy not to mention butt ugly boat like a Macgregor 26. Get it?

Cheers,
Ellen
