c&c 26 wave

[fido]

trying to gather some good information on the c&c 26 wave, it has a shallow draft @ 3 foot my ? are as follows
how does this boat point
is she tender on the breach
in higher winds does round up easily
I sail in a shallow lake in ontairo and a three foot draft allows me to have a complete season, with no issues at port
any information would be helpfull

thanks
Steve

Have you tried posting this question at www.cncphotoalbum.com That site is loaded with information about the "Classic C&C's" If you look at the Technical information section, check out the Stability Diagram. You will notice that the 26 favors the tender side of of the graph. Use that graph as a general guideline only if you have sailed some of the other boats listed. It will give you a point of reference as to the relative stability of the 26 as compared to other C&C designed boats.

thanks Ted many thanks, I have sail sevral boats, but the worst was the bayfield 29, after 6.6 knots too much weather helm the wheel locks unable to tack unless you reef the jib, the chart works well thanks again
