Still on the hunt, after two failed surveys. Before I commit to another, I'd like to hear views on the which is the better boat for club racing. Neither boat is currently setup to fly a spinnaker.
Thanks for the support!
If the E-32 is an '88, it would be an E-32-3 (or if it had the aft head, and E-32-200). 1979 was the last year for the E-35-2, and will probably have a teak interior vs the frp inside liner of the early ones. Nice boat, too.
The 35 is larger, and also has the main sheet aft, which is superior IMHO.
Pretty hard to go wrong with either one.
Either model will tempt you to a lot of cruising....
If your local racing involves short courses and oodles of mark roundings in heavy traffic, then the late model 32 might be slightly more nimble. Maybe.
The aft traveler on the 35 would be a tad better for general sailing and racing. Both hulls are slippery.
Speaking of racing, you can race "white sails" class for a year while you work out a spinnaker rigging plan. These days you might end up using an A-sail anyway.
Happy hunting.
