First 36.7

I was very favorably impressed with the 37.7. This looked like a very balanced design. It had nice accomodations and all of the tools to be a fast boat. I liked the mechanical backstay adjuster and the general cockpit set up. I did think she was slightly on the heavy side but we''ll learn more as they get out on the race course.

A similar boat to compare the 36.7 to is the Dehler 36. Both were designed for racing under the European equivilent to Americap, in other words simplied VPP derived rules.
