>From the C&C photo website:
Indeed, the layup schedule for the 34/36 "+" reads like the formula for
astate-of-the-art racer. Built to Lloyd's standards and American Bureauof
Shipping specifications, the molded hull incorporates end-grain Baltecbalsa
core, a biaxial fibreglass/Kevlar hybrid laminate and a Hydrex isopthalicNGP
gelcoat. The deck is a lightweight cored composite of Kevlar hybridlaminate in
concert with unidirectional glass in high-stress areas. Corematis employed
under deck hardware mountings to withstand compression loading.
Two keel profiles are offered: a lead/antimony elliptical fin sportingan
incredible no-room-for-error seven-foot, three inch draft, and a morecivilized
wing keel version with five feet of draft. The moulded ellipticalfibreglass
ruddr contains a pressurized foam core with an internal stainless-steelwebbing
welded to a standard stainless-steel rudder post.
The designer, Rob Ball, speaks...
According to designer Rob Ball, the use of such exotics in a productionyacht
results in superior construction, lightness and, ultimately, performance."I
designed the 34 with as long a waterline as possible within the boundsof
specific criteria." Like its cousin, the 37+ (actually more than 39feet
overall), the 34/36+ is designed to adhere to the IMS Rule.
To maintain leading-edge technology in production design, C&C hascreated an
exclusive R&D program with duPont, which manufacturers Kevlar.One development
payoff is the composite grid system for the sump area,which uses Nomex
laminated honeycomb board and Hydrex epoxy resins. Compositeengineering expert
Ken Reybould of England has been retained as a consultant."Reybould is the guru
of high-tech composite engineering," say Turner."He's at the top of his field
of expertise. What he doesn't know abouthull composite engineering isn't worth
knowing."
So what does all this mean to us common folk, besides a hefty pricetag? "A
solid cruising boat you can seriously race," says Turner. Witha high stability
factor and a Kevlar composite skin, Turner says the hull,under racing
conditions, will not deflect, the usual response of productionhulls using
standard lay-up schedules. That, says C&C, means more valuefor your money.

The new hulls are stiff but they hole through a lot easier than
the hull of an older C&C which has solid glass reinforced
polyester...Once saw a power boat in slow reverse with the ss swim
ladder supports pointing aft...go too close to a 34R and there was a
hole through the hull...rather easy to puncture I thought

Not really sure how the hulls are weaker. They are not made
with solid
polyester based resin layup though. The C&C 99 is laid
up using Epoxy
not polyester so in many respects could be considered
stronger .. Or if
not stronger than certainly lighter for the equivalent
amount of
strength?
Speaking of Beneteaus. The Beneteau 367 sails well for
racing and has a
huge interior for entertaining or cruising. Is priced about
the same as
a C&C99 on the used market

The 99 has a weaker hull than the C&C boats? Right
