Good troll but totally fictitious. Comments interspersed.

Wanna go safe and secure get the Nordic. Wanna go smart get the Nordic.
Wanna go offshore get the Nordic. Wanna play racer get a J/30.

| Compared to Jeff's fat cat, the First 35s5 is simply a real sailboat.
| It heels, goes fast, turns on a dime and tears upwind like a real
| sailboat should. If you love sailboats, a fat cat is of little interest
| as it's essentially barely better than a motorhome.

Catamarans are OK for cruising if one is willing to accept the fact
they can and do turn turtle. Comparing your monohull to a multi is
grasping for straws.

| Compared to Doug's Trawler, the First 35s5 is a sailboat and requires
| one tank of diesel per season. The 35s5 is powered by the wind. Doug's
| trawler is powered by engines, diesel fuel and idiocy.

Compared to any trawler any sailboat is superior. Doug is a hypocrite.
Imagine a friggin' liberal who hates big oil burning more diesel that
an over-the-road trucker. Pathetic!


| Compared to a Coronado 27, the First 35s5 is far better put together.
| It's FAR faster, more comfortable and just more fun than Neal's boat
| could ever be.

To me, having a boat paid for is more fun than financing one. To me
having a woman in every port is more fun than putting up with the same
old nagging wife. To me sailing my Coronado down the Gulf Coast before
and after a hurricane is more fun that thinking about your Beneteau tied
to a dock in Tampa.

| Compared to Bob Crantz' boat, the First 35s5 is a real boat.

Even if Crantz had a Mac 26X it's likely he would enjoy it more
than you enjoy your boats. It's plain that the only enjoyment you
get out of your boats is to brag about them while showing your
total ignorance of sailing them.

| Compared to Scotty Potty's Siedlemann 30, the First 35s5 sails better
| in every way, is FAR better build and is a blast to sail. Scotty's boat
| crawls by comparison.


I agree! Scotty Potty actually calls Katysails a friend. You cannot
expect the man to know anything about anything - let alone boats.


| Compared to Loco's Express 30, the First 35s5 is faster PERIOD. It
| handles better, is more roomy and modern. It's twice the boat.

Loco is a weenie but I'd put my money on an Express 30 in a race between
two equally savy skippers.

| Compared to Katy's Kirie Elite, the First 35s5 is faster and better
| build. Below deck the 35s5 blows the Kirie away.

Compared to Katy's husband's boat and any other Kirie Elite the
Beneteau is in an entirely different class. The Kirie is like a Citroen
and the Beneteau is like a Porshe.

|
| Compared to John's Catalina 28, the First 35s5 is a speedy beast that
| sails like a boat should. The sad cramped interior of the 28
| is....well, sad and cramped.

Catalina is an entry level boat bought by entry level personalities.

|
| Compared to Donal's First series...Uh oh!!! If he has the deep fin he
| may be a bit faster! The 35s5 is a bit roomier with a nicer interior,
| but both are awesome dual purpose boats!

Donal's Beneteau is just another mid-level boat. Instead of getting
a decent boat for the harsh conditions over in the Channel Donal
screwed up royally and got an unsuitable boat. He should have
gotten a Nordica 30, or a Westerly or some other boat that meets
LLoyds of London scantlings. I doubt the Beneteau even meets ABS
standards.

But, enjoy your boat come next April. Bwaahahahahahhahahah!

I'll be sailing up to Miami soon and perhaps over the the Bahamas
for a while. You will be fighting snow and ice and cold and your
boat will be stored. But, then again, like most of the other Putzes
in this group you are NO SAILOR!

I hope all this helps.
