I ordered a fixed Mast gate / mastgates.com for my C&C 24 and installed it last week. It was really useful when we had to reef and un-reef during the 2017 Gov Cup race last weekend. We were able to get a better trim on the main when reefed than before.
Tom and I went back and forth a couple of times and talked on the phone. We sailed short handed in the 15-20-25kt winds beating south from Annapolis to St. Mary's during the race. At the tail end of the race we made a few head sail changes and reef and un-reefed to adjust for conditions. The little C&C 24 took 3rd in short handed, but could have also been 3rd in Spin C or N. It was a good night to have old sails I guess. -- Doug Ellmore, Sr. s/v Red Sky, 1976 C&C 24 [email protected]
