My boat is a First 33.7. It often does 8Kts. It once did 15Kts down
a big
wave under spinnaker. I don't find it difficult to keep the boat on
course,
but this is a subjective view.
The 33.7 is fast to be sure and it can do a heck of a lot better than 8
knots on a reach. I did 10 knots this morning! The 33.7 has an okay
interior, but my 35s5 interior is nicer. I find the 36.7 interior to be
junk, but there's no debate on the boat's stellar performance.
I looked at the 36.7 a couple of years ago, and I was very dissappointed.
It is almost a pure racer. The accomodation is very poor., but I am sure
that the performance is truly spectacular.
I think that my next boat will be a bit more like this...

I'm getting older, and I want a bit of comfort.
