David, I owe a keel model also and can say the boat goes to weather like a witch. The centerboard model, with a deeper draft, should do just fine. We race a lot locally and have done very well. I raced with Joel on his 35-3 to Bermuda. The boat was solid and we never had any issues. I'd take her anywhere.
I had the boat soda blasted and coated with Interprotect (barrier coat). I have had no hull issues to date, after 14 years of boat ownership. All of the rigs are the same. No "tall mast" options were available, that I am aware of. Some of the mast fittings may be different. My masthead has only three halyards forward (one jib halyard and two wing halyards). Others have four halyards and mast cranes, which racers might prefer. Overall it is a great boat and has provided us with a lot of pleasure.

This boat "Freya" is for sale. She is a centerboard model. Can anyone advise on: Suitability of 4'6" draft for Intracoastal/ Bahamas? Does the boat go to windward well with a board? Does anyone race the CB version? Weaknesses? Is the hull cored or solid? I hear decks of this era are cored and have delam issues. Suitability of this model for coastal use maybe Bahamas/ Nova Scotia/ Central America? Not ocean. Any variations of this model? For example were there tall VS short rig options etc. Many thanks, David Dawes. _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album Email address: [email protected] To change your list preferences, including unsubscribing -- go bottom of page at: http://cnc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/cnc-list_cnc-list.com _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album Email address: [email protected] To change your list preferences, including unsubscribing -- go bottom of page at: http://cnc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/cnc-list_cnc-list.com
