I have a 1980 C27 with the standard fin keel. Just this past week I was able to get out sailing it for the first time (been doing a lot of work in restoration). I have a 130 for the head sail which came with the boat. I would say it's in pretty decent shape. I bought a new main. I was out in probably a 10 knot breeze. I was kind of dissapointed in the upwind performance. I don't think I had the jib sheeted in all the way(didn't use a winch handle) but had it in pretty tight. I'd like to think I could sail through 90 degrees but I was way off that.
What's your experience with your C27 in upwind sailing? Thanks.
