Actually I gather the sales were rather small, all things considered.
If there were more of them around, you wouldn't have to go to
Florida to find one that hadn't fallen apart yet.


Oops, Jeff. You keep getting busted. More than 400 hulls built.

Florida to find one that hadn't fallen apart yet.

There are three local to me and two are in good shape...just not the
creampuff with 20K worth of gear we found in Florida. But it's nice to
see you're desperate enough to make stuff up and still not make a
point.

And besides, it
wasn't *THE* boat of the year, it was the "best new small
racer/cruiser by a large advertiser."

Oops. I guess you're not familiar with the Paris Boat show. It's not
like our lame shows here, Jeff. Your ignorance seems boundless. The
35s5 won the the award at the Paris Boat show. Here Hunters win awards
and so do fat cats. Not there. Europeans like to sail.

I admit in light air it doesn't have much feel to it.

Yup. Yucka and no thanks to that. Why would I EVER want a boat with no
feel in light air?

On the other hand, I can take out a 470 or 505 or soling or R19
anytime I feel like "sailing."

Yeah, you can tow one behind you, Jeff. Seriously. You've taken some
beating here. Mostly because you own a cat and that has little in
common with a 35s5, J35 or even an Express 30 or J24. Even Neal owns
more of a sailboat than you. These are "sailboats" Jeff. Most people
prefer them to Cats unless they have back problems and kids with back
problems.
