I can't compare the 2 but we owned a Frers 36 [Carroll Marine] from 1987-2000. Loved the boat. Both raced and cruised it. Was a joy to cruise with just 2 of us but to race it really took a full crew and 8 was really a minimum.

I think the key with both these boats is just finding the right one. Racers of this age are either well taken care of or have been raced hard and put away wet and will need lots of work or are plane worn out.

FWIW my old boat is still racing on the Chesapeake and last I heard winning races to this day. I would also look at an Express 37 again assuming you can find the right boat.
