Doug, That was worth 5 pts.

I researched the boat. It rates between
72 and 75. Those are fabulous numbers,
and it is a fabulous looking boat. Thanks
for bringing it into the discussion.

I haven't sailed one, but apparently some of the people who have weren't horribly
impressed.

I can't believe a J35 would outsail one very often or by very much, but then the
Express 37 and the Schock 35 are both pretty fast boats with real cabins. A Mumm 36
would leave it in the dust. They all cost more too. The Capri 37 is pretty much a
big daysailor, but it would be possible to use some amenities in the cabin. It's a
Grand Prix styled boat but it's really not Grand Prix fast... but watching them
sail in the Congressional Cup and some of the other events that use them, they look
like a lot of fun to sail.

That was my feeling. You can't
one design race them, so that
leaves PHRF--which might be fun,
day sailing, and overnight
cruising--or if you are a hard
core sailor, extended cruising
--since it is weak on the inside
and cramped.

I'd love to try one out. And
the price is low because of the
competition. It would be a good
boat for having fun, without
breaking your wallet, and a bad
boat to impress the ladies. I
can hear them complaining. "But
there is nothing on the inside..."
