I would think each boat is unique and sail trim and sail condition and swells
can have some impact on how much centerboard is needed.
Wonder if you could test speed and pointing by going sailing and using GPS and
other instruments under different conditions and make your own guide that

Hmm. Good list, but... If one is prone to indecision and second guessing, this
simply adds to the huge pile of considerations to ponder before you can go
sailing. Perhaps better to decide on a popular make like CC that will be

breaking something. I’m interested in what others are

I agree the jacks are meant to help with striking sail. But I've found that,

Try removing the forward tie, hoisting part way, removing the next tie
etc. or leaving the jacks up while hoisting. If you are headed into

Hi Rick,
What's it like to sail a Buccaneer? I always liked that design. Looks roomy.
Real shallow draft when centerboard tucks up inside. I found a couple locally
for sail, but they were really beat up and neglected. Good boat?

Not sure it even looks tacky. I don't see any downside to having the sail spill
off the boom as you're hoisting. I always move my lazy jacks forward out of the
way when I hoist the main.

We needed a boat with more headroom and storage than our Rhodes 22 because we
enjoyed that boat so much we knew we wanted to overnight/take trips more. (So
bigger than 22)
We needed to be able to handle it with 2 of us. (Don't know the realistic upper
limit but we didn't look over 39 or so)
In any reasonable breeze (+8 knots) I find generally that our pointing ability
is so much better with the board down compared to any increased drag it adds
that it is no contest--board all the way down, in my case ~ 7.25 feet.
In light air upwind, we drop it partially--maybe 6 feet.
