Neither of the two boats are in great trim at the instant the picture was taken – both are heeled too much and the SC 70 actually has even more heel than the C&C. In this case the conditions were off shore and gusty and both boats were trimmed for the more prevalent lulls. As a side note, it’s not usually a good idea to insult the folks who buy and support your product 🙂

And for us lessers who also single hand, trying to reef the main during the race becomes a real problem..
