I don't know diddly about the 35-38 ft ones. I had a 33 cat-ketch.

I do know they were Hoyt designs and the ones built by TPI have very good quality, great gelcoat and fittings.
TPI made a stack full of boats, including J/boat.
(be a bit careful about the contract (europe) built ones, can't vouch for the same build quality.)

Most of the carbon fiber rigs have had the heavy wrap around sails replaced with a more conventional track system, as long as it was installed professionally, you should have no worries.

For what its worth, I never had any problems with pointing at all. I think that was far overblown. (pun intended?)
