I am contemplating 2 boats both of which are Frers designs. The Frers 33 and 38. Would appreciate input from anyone having experience with either boat. I''m most interested in comments re: construction and sailing qualities, strengths weaknesses etc. Do alot of around the bouys club races and some cruising in the New England area. We''re looking for a good all around boat. Draft is not a problem.

Thanks Jim

We race against a well-sailed Frers 33 from time to time. I am always struck by how nice they look, and they do seem to sail to their rating and move along nicely. We went with something bigger (J/36) for a little more comfort.
