![]() "Capt. Rob" wrote in message ups.com... Not my experience. We've have two friends who formerly owned C34s and one who currently owns a C36. The 36 is quite a bit faster than the 34s on all points of sail, and seems to hold its own against another friend's C42. Still doesn't make sense. These boats have the same performance envelopes, so close that the 34 became a top seller over the 36. I've heard that repeatedly over the years, but it simply doesn't bear out in practice. Sailing beam to beam at the start, the WK C36 always pulls away from her shorter WK sisters. I think a lot of the rhetoric about Catalina boat speed had nothing to do with race results, but rather with C34 owners who for some reason didn't buy the longer boat. Wishful thinking, in other words. Max |
