We have two chartered for last week of Feb - have been on them in the past. They motor at about 8-9 knots. The '36 used to "bob like a cork". The '49 rides more like a lexus. The "39s are somewhere in between. Its great to have the starboard cabin with the big bathroom/head in the bow. But, everyone adopts it has the universal head by day #2. We love it and chose to get two of these instead of one '49 > 6 cabins/two dinghies > added an extra paying couple (hard to find).
