Sweet - Sydney 36CR

Sydney Yachts är mest kända för Sydney 38, men även lillasystern 36CR kvalar in som sweet. Foton: Andrea Francolini/Azzura Marine.

Inte lika bra entypscirkus som 38:an men definitvt OK under IRC. Senast spikade man IRC2 på Skandia Geelong Week före bland annat A35, 40.7 och X-41.

Non-overlapping sail plan makes for snapping tacking and that’s perfect for club racing short-handed
Big cockpit that’s mindful of crew

Plenty of accommodation and the goods for a week at sea
Expected great resale and longevity

LOWS

Deck-mounted winches for German mainsheet system steal handy cockpit space
Cambered cabin top isn’t the easiest to move about on
High-gloss myrtle dinette shows the scratches for hard sailing
Questionable access to all the wiring and servicing items fitted behind the fully-moulded liner
No seat at the chart table
