Some years back when were campaigning a 33-II, we were racing her in the
Bras d'Or Lakes.....there was 35-II from Shediac, NB with a good crew.
The course was a beat, reach and run....every race was the same, the
33-ii would get to the first windward mark ahead the 35-II, but once on
the reach and run, loose it all back. There was nothing we could do to
change it after 5 races.

The C&C 33-2 is very fast on a beat. It has PHRF 132 and the older
35-2 has PHRF 120. On a beat it’s hard for the 35-2 to stay with the
slower rated 33-2. However from close reach to run the 35-2 excels.
It is difficult for a faster rated C&C 37 (PHRF 105) to stay with the
slower rated C&C 35-2 on those points of sail. I like sailing off the
wind on a close reach, who doesn’t? That with the well know strong
construction of the older 35’s was one reason I got my 35-2 instead of
a newer 33-2.

Lol- never race either but if I did I’d probably notice that the
33-2 is faster than most others I encounter on the water,
especially in light air, should I be noticing such things.
I did get schooled last weekend by a good friend (an accomplished
racer) in a C&C 32 with tired sails. (My 33-2 is faster, hands
down, I’m not.) I Had to work very hard and find another gear to
slowly catch up. This in support of dwight’s point - the driver
may matter more than the car.
