That's interesting about the 36.7 cockpit. I had heard the opinion
expressed
that for a racer its cockpit was too small...

I'm not a racer. I like to sail fast, but I sail with my family. My wife
likes "comfort", although she is a much better sailor than many wives. The
33.7 is a good compromise for us, but the 36.7 wouldn't be. It really is a
case of "different strokes for different folks".

Many people in my sailing club have managed to put their wives off sailing
by taking them out in inappropriate conditions. I am lucky that my wife
will sail with me. I intend to keep it that way. That means that I have to
moderate my choice of boat, as well as the weather conditions that we sail
in!
