Nutsy,
If you've got a 35s5 you've got a fast boat (Sail Right) You shouldn't
have to look at many sterns for to long. It's a damn good, fast boat.

That being said, don't make claims about it that are BS.

The Cockpit is Small because of the Swim Platform.
The Rack & Pinion set-up is used to save space. Pure and Simple. The
feed back is all in your mind. If you're getting FB you better check
your sail trim. Your Helm should be neutral!

"Benny" designed an awful lot into the Ass End of the 35s5 and it cost
them space. How Much? I Don't think to much. I like the boat. I also
like honesty! Stop making claims that exist only in your; pardon the
expression. mind.
