Cat Tales you are right i misread the sheet, it has a model no for the 30" shaft but its not offered. I tried to post the model sheet but apparently the forum does not allow .pdf files. I posted a photo of steel sails instead. That didn't work either. ".jpeg" What files can we post? r...

Steel Sails can carry the spinnaker ( about 760 sq ft ) to about 20 knots, though the sail may not take it. Stripped down for racing we made 13 knots on the gps with wind in the 18-20 knots range. Blew the spinnaker about an hour later in a gust.

I am not sure steel sails would even float if i loaded 2700 lbs in ...

Trying to find the Multihull equivalent to a PHRF for a PDQ 36. Searched the site but all postings relate to the 32’s.
Any help / advice appreciated.

They are always full of water because the hoses that drain the hatch seal are not large enough and they block with a minimal amou...

Be real carefull you don't drop one. I did!, it dissapeared into the motor casing and i had to remove the motor to get it out. turned out to be one of those never ending jobs. Ended up replacing all the cables as well.
