Sure looks like a nice boat for the money with very impressive foils, and hull shape. Any ideas why such a poor showing at Key West last week in a variety of wind conditions?

I asked the factory rep at the boat show this weekend and the gist of the response was their hoping for a softer rating down the road. He also mentioned that the 33.7 is no longer being built. A friend bought one last summer, and at 119 phrf was in deep trouble. I''m sure he''ll be happy to hear this.

The 36.7 looks like alot of boat for the money, but not being able to sail to the numbers (if that proves to be true)is a big drawback.
