C&C 115 "Out of The Blue" sailed in the "St Helena Cup" in Brisbane Australia Sat/Sun - 4/5th October 2008.

This regatta is the largest annual sailing regatta in South East Queensland. Over 80 yachts completed.

"Out of The Blue' came 2nd in the first race on Saturday in light winds 10 - 18 knots and 3rd on Sunday in 15 - 25 knot winds.

We won the regatta on PHRF but would have also won on IRC if we had entered that division. Both races were about 30 miles each.

The mixed fleet included a Sydney 41, Sydney 36, Sydney 32, Farr 11.6, two Farr 40's, Mumm 30's and Mumm 36, a new Tiger 10, Young 11, Dufour , Bavaria, (both with the dealers on board) an old Ragamuffin, a new Beneteau

44.7 with the carbon fiber rig and much, much more.

On scratch we were in the top ten finishes both days and everyone thought the boat went much faster than she should have.

Assisting on the C&C 115 was Olympic sailor Leigh Dorrington and famous ex Sydney yachtsman, Rob Mundle.

If fast is fun, then sailing a C&C 99 will be more fun than you've had in a long time. She's a 32-footer that is race-ready with family and friends and cruiseworthy in civilized fashion, with undeniably rakish styling and a daring cockpit and deck layout. This is one sporty speedster...we'll understand completely when you order your hull in fire-engine-red.

Just a few numbers say a lot about the C&C 99's performance. The sail area-to-displacement ratio is 21.5, the righting moment is 883 foot pounds per degree, the �J� (foretriangle) dimension is 13 feet, and the area of the spinnaker, courtesy of an oversize 14-foot, 6-inch pole, is 1,026 square feet. Other vital ingredients of the speed recipe include an easily-driven canoe body with minimum wetted surface; a near-plumb bow to maximize waterline; a deep, balanced spade rudder; a high-lift-foil keel for windward efficiency. Sailors all over the country have noticed how quick the C&C 99 is�she won her class at Key West Race Week, and both Cruising World and SAIL magazine selected the C&C 99 as one of the best boats of the year.
