I'm thinking of buying a new PDQ 36, but cannot find reliable actual
information of the performance under power and under sail. Pdq,s web
site says the performance section is "under construction"
What is the realistic cruising speed and maximum speed realistically to
be expected for PDQ 36 with normal rig? How much more would you get
with the tall rig?

I have hull number 36089 with a standard rig and outboards. The boat
does half wind speed on pretty much any thing above 60 degrees. The
outboards will provide 6 knots at 3900 RPM and 6.5 at 4200 RPM. The PDQ
36 can't point.
