" But the C-16 doesn't sail well, and that is my biggest gripe with it..." I am a simple fella. Sounds like a no brainer to me. Life is far too short to spend any time in a shitty sail boat.... specially when you already have another boat that is a great sailer. Even though folks here suggest they get their 17 up licketty split, it takes me about 40 minutes. So I found a place where I can leave the boat fully rigged(on the trailer) and ready to launch as I need it. I am sure you will get a bit faster over time, but in the end it is a small detail. Have fun!

I was in a meeting and missed it all.....dang)
