shallow spots.

I'd be interested in and comments on the booat, good or bad, strengths and
problems you;re encountered.

Many thanks in advance.

There is a 36 footer at our club. A couple of years ago it usually shared
back of the pack in 'B' class with us on Wednesday night races. I see last
year it came in middle of the pack on occasion. my impression...beautiful
boat....not overly fast if you race.

Do you know what the rating is? IIRC the C&C Frigate rates somewhere
around 200 PHRF... not fast for a 36 footer by modern standards, but
still faster than most crab-crushers.

107.

Thanks for all your input. Are there any structural issues with these boats
that you are aware of? Delamination in the dechs? CB issues etc?

Thanks again

I just checked the online NSYA Database.
http://www.nsya.ns.ca/yachts/listYac...rtBy=yachtName

White Cloud II has a PHRF of 172.7 (in Nova Scotia) and an ASPN (Atlantic
Speed Potential Number) of 110

Note: PHRF = 63,000/ASPN - 400

I have the Frigate's baby sister, a 31' Corvette. The boats are from
the same designer (C&C) and builber (Belleville Boat Works). Both are
centerboard boats, and of the same vintage. The Corvette was built
starting around 1967 or so. The early ones had problems with
centerboards in salt water. I have seen some early Corvettes with real
deck problems, and others are fine. The deck is cored, end-grain
balsa, and I think the problems stem more from poor maintenance (poor
bedding of stanchions and other fittings) than any design flaws.

They are not designed as fast boats, but off the wind, they will go.
They have long booms and large mains. In light airs upwind, my
Corvette is no rabbit. She tacks slowly. But hey, I'm a cruiser. And
gentlemen don't sail upwind.
