What Is a Good Pointing Angle for a CD22?

[Stephen C. Crampton]

I estimate the best I could do in medium, steady winds is about 45 degrees.

That's with a 135% genoa and fully battened main.

Is this an excellent/good/fair/poor angle?

FWIW, my surveyor has a CD22 and says that is about as good as he gets, and about as good as I could expect to get with the CD27 I'm looking at. His opinion is that 45 degrees is about as good as it's likely to get with any cruising hull.
