First 36.7

Hi

I ordered a 36.7 at the Norwalk show. If you check the specs the 36.7 is only a few hundred pounds heavier then the 33.7 which explains why the 33.7 is not the best performer. The polar chart compares with the J-105 but the 36.7 has a much nicer interior, more amenities and much better deck hardware, albeit at a 3000 lb weight disadvantage to the 105 also the 36.7 was $14,000 less then the 105.

Prior to this I had a Beneteau 281 and was happy with it but it was overpowered easily, did not point well but was stable. I wanted a boat that would perform well, could be single-handed and that I could race locally for fun. Time will tell if I chose correctly, but I think I made a good choice.
