A Nonsuch 33 races in the same division at 147 (I'm guessing
his rating is because he flies a chute). If you add 3 points for
your
wing keel, 3 points for your A/C, and six points for your small jib,
you
rate 3 seconds slower than the Nonsuch!


There are many 35s5's racing around the country, Jeff. Google them.
We have no way of knowing why the 35s5 rates 138, which is way above
average. On the other hand a rating of 147 is still going to get
clobbered by our boat.
No amount of sail is going to make up a 3 ton liability between two
boats of this type, 3 tons and the Nonsuch carries only a bit more
sail area, has more wetted surface and isn't shaped for speed at all.
Get over it. Jeff. I'm off for some sailing on a J24 now...another
boat that passes Nonsuch 36's in a lot of situations. Enjoy a great
weather day!
