Sails and Rigging
C&C 27s are designed as performance pocket cruisers. Full sail can be carried in up to18 knots but
reduce sail at whatever point feels appropriate for the conditions and crew.
Main Sail adjustments-
Outhaul and boom vang adjustments run to deck clutches then cockpit
winches. Make sure to safely cleat main sheet and traveler both sides during operation. There is not a
downhaul/cunningham on Makai.
Always
control the main sheet during a gybe to protect the boat and
people.
