Bob (Robert E.) Perry wrote a very good, easy to understand article in Good Old Boat Issue: 83 - March/April 2012, Pages 24-25 explaining the detail of just what Andrew stated below. The C&C 38 Mk.3 is one of the best examples I know of of this "designing to the rule's measurement points" which ex

I have to put some props in for the 35-3; we hit 10+ knots the last two weekends we were out this year. The first time was with the spinnaker up in above 25knots, flat water on a fairly tight reach for those conditions (about 110 / 120 apparent). If we had been able to bear off I'm sure we would h

Lots of fast boats have a flat bottom from the keel forward.I made a short delivery (40 miles) on a J44 in heavy winds and seas on the 'nose'..the boat pounded on every wave it hit. I don't think the the 34R is any different.the same thing happened on a delivery from Port Hawkesbur
