port tack 12 #1 Posted July 26, 2019 Boat by mills, looks pretty awesome. Any intel? Mills designed the C & C 30, this boat looks much cooler and faster. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMdzoQyFMak&feature=youtu.be Whats it rate??? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ryley 372 #3 Posted July 28, 2019 They've been around for a couple seasons now. they were running a really sweet charter deal last year, and they're running a sale now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcutter 29 #4 Posted August 8, 2019 Doesn't include the cost of shipping to the US either. Just as expensive as his C&C 30. Greg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iceman22 4 #5 Posted August 12, 2019 Do the sails have to be paneled? Looks like North so would make sense to keep costs down. Limiting instruments and learning from driving costs up that killed the C&C 30 would be good. Cost of the boat is the cheap part of sailing so keeping the running of the boat and Pro's down to a reasonable number is the important part. Hopefully they can be sailed with less than 8 people too. Looks fun to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Murphness 68 #6 Posted August 15, 2019 Will these do some near shore overnight races or are they mostly inshore OD? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark Mills 11 #7 Posted August 21, 2019 Most of the current class activity is inshore. but they are happy coastal racing. Some do the Mykonos race in SA which is 65 miles up the coast from Cape Town. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jackolantern 424 #8 Posted September 4, 2019 How would one do on a 180nm coastal race in sometimes-rough waters? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

These significantly smaller and carbonfiberless Pacer 27s have been kicking ass for more than 10 years. https://video.search.yahoo.com/yhs/search?fr=yhs-sz-001&hsimp=yhs-001&hspart=sz&p=pacer+27+video#id=24&vid=b48e9978cf68b1e12c3ab25c7dae5d7e&action=click https://video.search.yahoo.com/yhs/search?fr=yhs-sz-001&hsimp=yhs-001&hspart=sz&p=pacer+27+video#id=31&vid=8b4a09d2e510ef9a246ec3f6b398bdea&action=view https://video.search.yahoo.com/yhs/search;_ylt=AwrDQ2pxGnBdAkYA_6M0nIlQ;_ylu=X3oDMTBncGdyMzQ0BHNlYwNzZWFyY2gEdnRpZAM-;_ylc=X1MDMTM1MTE5NTcwMARfcgMyBGFjdG4DY2xrBGNzcmNwdmlkA1JjOTZIVEV3TGpHZ19keGdYSENjOEFLUk1qRTJMZ0FBQUFEUGdHa2UEZnIDeWhzLXN6LTAwMQRmcjIDc2EtZ3AEZ3ByaWQDWE5UeF9ZUTVUNjJuUTBpcXBORjU0QQRuX3JzbHQDNjAEbl9zdWdnAzAEb3JpZ2luA3ZpZGVvLnNlYXJjaC55YWhvby5jb20EcG9zAzAEcHFzdHIDBHBxc3RybAMEcXN0cmwDMzQEcXVlcnkDcGFjZXIlMjAyNyUyMHNwb3J0JTIwc2FpbGJvYXR2aWRlbwR0X3N0bXADMTU2NzYyNzkzNw--?p=pacer+27+sport+sailboatvideo&ei=UTF-8&fr2=p%3As%2Cv%3Av%2Cm%3Asa&fr=yhs-sz-001&hsimp=yhs-001&hspart=sz#id=1&vid=6d8de7416e5cd7856cbf4258c08191a3&action=view Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JL92S 171 #11 Posted September 8 It rates 1.13 in IRC for those interested. The C31 in the UK has nearly cleaned up in most of the races it enters. The team racing it is very good but even so it’s very fast. The more powerful hull shape and larger keel fin seem to work well in the Solent chop Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
