I would go back to a C&C 39, tall rig, deep rudder and the light weight Atomic
4 aux engine. Prep it to be fully optimized for its PNW PHRF rating but include
a “penalty pole” and blooper for those long DDW legs. I would also want the
upgraded winch package that included the Barient titanium drum 3 speed primary
winches.
Back in the late 70’s the 39s did well in the typical light air races that were
long enough to experience several changes of current that could keep a crew of
6 out for 24 to 36 hours in relative comfort. If the wind came up it could
still go upwind without the whole neighborhood camped out on the rail.
