[S/33s are currently rating 0.925.

Hi Stefan - guess you mean Sigma 33 and their one design rating is 0.915 which is low even for a boat that pushes a lot of water around especially downwind! See you for the Nab race on Saturday.

  Thanks for your interest Stefan.  I agree that 0.930 is very high fora 30 year old design however it is the only information I have to go on.   The only boat I can find that appears to be of this design is  listed is a Supernova 31 and is a boat called Demolition listed on the Half tonner web site. I have written to the listed owners to ask for their advice

That's a lot for a 30+ year old 30 footer. I'd expect something around 0.90. As an example, S/33s are currently rating 0.925.

Has anyone sailed one of these, if so what is your opinion of sailing/cruising and racing
Does anyone have any views on the RCA Dolphin engine.

 

Hope somebody out there can help as there seems to bea complete derth of information on this boat  



Is the pertol engine inboard or an outboard? It would be strange to have a petrol inboard on a yacht surely?
Needs to sail more...
