Rate the same? Hmmmm.
Only one 35-3 in my PHRF area (a FK) now but when there were both versions,
they were rated differently. My 35-1 owed the K/CB but the 35-3 FK owed me.
Don't recall the differentials.
Remember we usually held our time on the FK version both buoy and distance
racing. The K/CB beat us in a chute reach distance race one year but lost
badly to us in the same race upwind the next year.

Have wire to rope halyards exclusively on my 35-3 1986 . What are the
disadvantages, since it seems most people , when they have to , change to rope
of various types. One I can think of is end to ending when there is wear, and
also less weight aloft, although how much difference that makes on a relatively
heavy boat I dont know. I club race white sail and will have to change fairly
soon because of wear at the jammers and beginnings of fraying of the wire. I
would tend to go with wire to rope again partly because of the type of sheaves
presently employed so need a strong reason to change.
>While I am on the site, anyone with a 35-3 full keel who races against a
35-3 with keel centreboard have any idea of performance comparisons between
them. My boat is a centre board version. We do well enough, feel that we do not
point as high as other boats in our PHRF fleet especially in heavier air, no
other 35-3s in that fleet, but we run well and often overhaul boats that may
have got to the windward mark before us.
