Dynamic 35
Moser · Elvstrom/Kjaerulff · 1985
Updated
The Dynamic 35 is a 10.68 m planing racing yacht designed by Elvstrom/Kjaerulff and built by Moser, first launched in 1985. It races in Class C. Across the measured fleet it goes better than its own numbers promise, ahead of 92% of the designs it races against.
Goes better than its own measurements promise, and does it better than 92% of the boats it races against.
14th of 159 in its class.
Updated — First Race Edge for this design. Enough boats of this design have now been measured to rank it.
Not verified. On planing hulls this score has no match in the race results we hold: designs scoring the same win anywhere from one race in ten to seven in ten. Read it as what the measurements say, not as a ranking.

A short windward-leeward and a night at sea ask different things of a boat. Here is how this one does in each.

Where it wins and where it pays
Every boat is judged against its own measurements — length, weight, sail area. The quicker those say it should be, the more it has to deliver just to break even. Going fast is not enough: it has to go faster than its own numbers promised.
This is a boat that wants breeze. On a windy coastal course it is in its element; on a light-air windward-leeward it has to be sailed well to hold on.
Where it gains
Its best ground is downwind in a strong breeze, where it outruns what it looks like on paper, and by a margin worth having. It holds that advantage off the wind as well, so the gain is not down to one leg of the course.
Where it pays
It falls short on the beat in a strong breeze, giving away time it never gets back. That is a hull that wants to get up and go, and needs pressure to do it.
Above the line it delivers more than promised and gains on the fleet. Below, it falls short. Move the wind: plenty of boats sit on one side in the light and the other when it blows.
Full width is 1.4 kn either way.
At 10 knots this design makes back more than its rating asks on the beam reach.
