Hi Rob and Hank, Did any of the C&C models have a particular strength in surfing (or planing) down wind in 15 to 20 knots true wind speed? Years ago I recall talking to Rob Ball about the importance of prismatic coefficient in surfing performance but I was remiss in not asking what C&C models have the strongest surfing potential. Thank you Dave
