Interesting that it rates same as the MkII tho it's got about 900# more ballast and more reinforcement, (yet weighs only 700# meaning somehow they shaved some weight) and six seconds/mile faster than the Mk1 even tho it carries about 24 less sq. ft. of sail. The Mast is two feet taller but the boom is three feet shorter. I wonder if that makes the helm balance better? The Mk III came out in 1977 and was made until 1979 according to Sailboatdata.com. I'm looking at one, and it's got..woohoo!...radar, meaning I, as a trained Navy RIO (radar intercept officer) can run sparrow and sidewinder missile intercepts with it. Which makes me wonder, does the dept. of defense sell surplus, out of date missiles to Veterans with only mild PTSD? What if I joined the Coast Guard Aux.; Does that count?. After all, anyone can buy a 3# muzzle loading swivel gun on the internet. And the Congress just got rid of rules limiting the ability of certified crazies from buying as many guns and bullets as they can buy, beg, borrow, or.... Jerry of Cal 24-1 Shpritz.

Hmmm, how about something like this to maybe help supplement the radar... http://www.thebeachcats.com/OnTheWire/UltimatePWCRepellent.html Thinking a couple of AIM-9Ms might look nice on the side of my Cal 36! > On Feb 20, 2017, at 5:09 PM, Gerald Sobel so… [at] yahoo.com [Cal_Boats] <Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com> wrote: > > > > On Monday, February 20, 2017 3:48 PM, Gerald Sobel <so… [at] yahoo.com> wrote: > > > > > On Monday, February 20, 2017 2:53 PM, Gerald Sobel <so… [at] yahoo.com> wrote: > > > Does the Cal 34 MkIII have the same potential issues with the "dreaded beam".
