Ours arrives in Australia in May.

We went to Auckland to see the first one to arrive in Australasia.

It was parked beside a Lavezzi 40 at the show.

In my view the 36 had almost as much volume as the 40. The headroom and access to the saloon was infinitely better in the 36 and I am 6 foot 4" tall !!

We went for a sail on the Monday in 25 knots but since it was a delivery straight into the wind there was not much real sailing more motoring with the main up slightly off course.

What sailing we did do showed a responsive boat. I liked it and the clearance was fine. No banging of the middle of the baot.

Very happy so far.

The factory bimini sucks but I think we have all agreed on that point before.

We will design a new bimini when it gets here.

I am happy with my decision to have an additional winch on the port cabin top and I think we can get the lead right so that one is not needed in the cockpit.

Hppy days.
