<font face="Comic Sans MS"><font size="2"><font color="navy">As I was taking the main off for the season I was pleased that it was so easy to handle by myself.
The 150% is just as easy, of course, mine is old so it’s a bit floppy but still I watch owners of bigger boats struggling to wrestle their sails and if there is any wind at all they are in fight to the finish.
Same goes in the spring when I rubout and double wax the hull, it’s a manageable job.

And sailing? Well here on Long Island Sound we have many light air days and the C-25 moves right along with the 150% or the drifter when heavier boats are using “iron wind”.
Yep she’s just the right size.

ahhh...I get the point, and basically agree...but after 5 years, we're feeling the need for something a little more comfortable for 3 day weekends...
