The "E" measurement of the C&C 30-1 is 11.50'. That would be from the stern of the mast along the boom to the edge of the main leach when fully pulled back by the outhaul.
You may be an inch or two shorter, if so I doubt replacing the sail just for that would make any sense. It is hard to tell from the pictures but if I had to guess I would say your boom might be longer than mine, possibly to enable end sheeting from a stern mounted track. Again a guess, but from the stern of the mast my boom is about 12' long. yours looks to be around 13.75.

I'm wondering if that's "normal" for 30-1s (or other C&Cs for that matter). It doesn't really look normal judging by brochure photos and drawings. A previous owner had also raised the boom at least a foot from its original height, as the C&C itself did on later C&C 30s. When I get a new mainsail I'd like to increase its area by both returning the boom to its original height, and increasing the length of mainsail's foot. I'm thinking more area equals more power equals more speed. And I can live with a lower boom. Any words of wisdom to share? Thanks, Randy Stafford S/V Grenadine C&C 30-1 #7 Ken Caryl, CO
