[C38] racing crew number on a C38

Max, you may want to look for a 155% low cut jib vs. the 150% if you are
going to be in light wind.  We have both and race with them, the high cut is
better in really strong winds as it doesn't touch the water too much, the
low cut can actually dip into the water and although it's never happened to
us I fear it could fill up causing all kinds of problems.  LOL

As I follow up, I raced last weekend and won again by corrected time and
also was the first one to cross the line with a Bavaria 49' 20' from my
stern that I managed to take out of the lay line for the finish line. Lack
of wind and strong currents made it really interesting.   
I went out with a crew of six, and used the spinnaker with a pole and a
sock, but still wished I had ten guys on board. Of course, that's the lack
of experience talking.....
What also made a huge difference was the150% genoa that I borrowed from a
Hunter 37, on the upwind leg it made a huge difference against my 129%. On
Estancia, the sail was like a 145%, but it worked great, so I guess that I'm
going to be on the market for a big 150% genoa or bigger.....
I also followed the advise, and when we were beating in really light winds I
suggested that the crew should be inside, right next to the mast, short
story, they almost threw me overboard for such a suggestion!!!!!! At the
end, they stayed on the deck laying down as much as possible, and still we
made it first to the mark.

Thanks a lot for all the tips and advices. 

Regards,

Max

Hi Max,  I agree with Larry.  I race almost weekly here in San Diego on a
Serendipity 43 (Houn Dawg) and we have a core group of 8 crew.  Think about
the most complicated situation. Upwind mark rounding:  1-Bow, 1-Mast for
pole raise and Halyard raise/drop, 1-Pit for Haylards, tackline, and topping
lift, 1 on Foreguy, 1 Spinnaker trim, 1-Main trim, 1-Helm,.  That's 7 not
including a tactician.  That's comfortable.  More is good on a windy day.
Less means it can get complicated in the Pit but on a really light day
sometimes the weight savings can make up for people having to do more.  Good
Luck!  Jay

Max, we have found that 6-8 works best for us on windward/leeward races.
You almost need two on the foredeck, one on the main/traveler and one on jib
trim and of course one on the helm which leaves one on a six man crew for
relief.

Hi guys, 

This  questions are for all the racers out there:

What's the perfect number of crew on a race around the buoys on a C38???

How many is too much? or what's the minimum needed???

what's the usual for good boat performance?
