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 downhaul adjustments run to deck clutches then cockpit winches.
Make sure to safely cleat main sheet and traveler both sides during operation. Always control the main
sheet during a gybe to protect the boat and people.
