When I was buying my 38 Mk 2 (hull #132) recently, the prior owner told
me the difference between the mk1 and mk2 was a deeper rudder and more
keel ballast on the mk2.
He said those adjustments were made to try to provide better downwind
control in broachable conditions.
Sailboatdata.com seems to at least partially back him up though their
numbers are confusing. They have the mk2 with 6800 lbs of ballast
compared to the mk1 with 4400. Yet they both are listed with
displacements of 14,700. The other difference they show is a slightly
beamier mk1.
I agree that if the designs were even mildly different, the PHRFs would
likely reflect that and don't. So I probably just complicated this
search for Hoffa's remains but the subject has puzzled me as well, so
thought I'd throw in what I'd heard.
I wish there was a wise old C&C designer on this list to resolve such
mysteries.
