    No it was fiberglass. Perhaps one of the custom builds referred to in the article. Was a good little boat would plane downwind if there was enough wind.
  4. I added cockpit drains through the transom on my Cav 36. It was only to meet the drainage surface area rule for Category so I also kept the existing ones. The 36 has the same setup with the exit though the floor to the hull exiting under water. Never heard of an issue.

I have sailed on smaller monohulls all my life and thought that it would be more comfortable and faster than a 35 foot racing mono. This was simply not the case. So much leeway in waves that what should have been cracked sheets was on the wind. Not impressed. Any half decent 50 foot keelboat would
  11. Got our entry done, 34 boats on the entry list now. Wow!
