Slightly bigger than 35', but not by much.

Those are pretty boats. S&S designs are always classy
looking. The fine bow & stern make it small for a 37 footer.

If you know anything about PHRF ratings, I've seen a number as low as 126
associated with this boat.


OTOH they also have local ratings around 170. The bottom
line is that they're not speedy. But they are thoroughbreds
of an earlier generation of racer-cruisers.

... They are mainly centerboard boats, though there
are a few deep fin keels and shoal scheel keels out there. Only downside is
that they are relatively pricey, considering their age.


They have a devoted following. Lots of them (especially the
CB version) around the Chesapeake.
