I think that I would keep the Sabre, but I know the role appearance plays.
Appearance was high on the list of why I purchased my 35 MKII.I love the
appearance and lines which are what I think is called "classic" Cuthbertson
by some sailors.  Classic Plastic, I think they called it in one article I
have read

Handicaps *should* show you the difference in performance.  These are from
PHRF NE.  You should be able to compare the 34+ and Sabre 386 from your
experience (apparently fairly similar).  My experience sailing the 35-3
(another Rob Ball design) is that windward performance is great; reaching
and downwind are weaker points (but not bad, mind you).  Where in LIS are
you based?

Any thoughts on the late 80's vintage 38? I'm thinking about one for a full
restoration and ultimately to be used for coastal cruising (long island
sound), casual phrf racing and limited offshore runs (Bermuda, BVI, etc).

A little background.  I currently sail a Sabre 386 but am uninspired by the
performance.  Build quality is great.  I've owned 2 Rob Ball C &C's in the
past, each for about 7 years - a 34+ and a 51xl.
