I'm with Curtis on this one. I seldom reef because we are mostly in light
air. I drop from the 155 to the 140 when there are full whitecaps (15?) and
then reef at about 20. Don't have a second reef, so if it is blowing harder
than low 20's, I go to the working jib.
My working jib is probably original to the boat (1980) - when I bought her,
it was very new feeling (crinkly) and seldom gets out of the bag.....it is a
Hood, which I understand was original equipment. The two PO's were up a
river 10 miles from the Bay, so I think there was a fair amount of light air
sailing - and motoring.
There's something amiss if you have to reef at 10 knots - either your sails
are so bagged out that the boat is falling over or the mast is set
incorrectly. The 30-1 is a stout craft.... it takes a lot of breeze to get
it squirrely enough that I am worried about rounding up.

yea i'm with Ddwight on this one,
My C&C30 mk1 # 675 loves 11 thru17 knots.
I dont start thinking of a reef till i'm over 17 knots. I usley drop
down to the working 115% first. If needed I will put the 1st Reef in
around 18-22 knots.
I have hade some uncontroled steering falling off the wind when
tacking. that was my fault. not the boat.

MK1 is stiff for sure but I just wish I had less weather helm. I generally
reef in anything above 10 knots...

The 30 MKI is just a much stiffer boat than the 30 MKII; see here:
http://www.cncphotoalbum.com/technical/stability.htm
I believe that makes a huge difference in how these 2 very different C&C
30
designs perform going to weather, I believe this definitely has an effect
on
heel angle and propensity to round up...I would expect the 30 MKII to
outperform the 30 MKI in light air but in heavier air I would expect the
MKI
to outperform the MKII, even given that in most areas the MKII has a
higher
rated speed potential and I believ that is due to the relative stiffnesses
of the boats...here on St. Margaret's Bay where we have mostly fresher
afternoon breezes the MKI rules

I don't think it will ever sail as good as the MKI but there are other
advantages

My 30MKI had the mast raked back and the rigging on the tight side.
Weather
helm yes, it could be a bear. Round ups never. I could bury the rail deep
and just keep plowing along.
My 30MKII's rudder will stall then round up out of control with to much
sail
up and not enough tension on the backstay. Too much heel and it gets
scary.
All that being said im still learning on my MKII
