You sound more like a marketing brochure than an experienced cruiser.
You have one berth, that because its measured diagonally, is 7 feet
on one side. And you can't roll over without whacking the overhead.
Are you claiming that the V counts as a 7 footer? You brag about A/C
without considering that it has terrible ventilation. A tiny galley,
a small fridge behind the stove. No counter space at all, unless you
cover the sink. The head isn't small, but it doesn't have a shower.
My old 30 footer even had a separate shower. BTW, is there any
ventilation in the head?

But that's OK, Bob. Since you never actually cruise, you'll never
miss these things. It pretty obvious every time you brag about the
A/C that what you really wanted was a nice place at the dock to hang
out and watch the real sailors.

5 inch mattresses, 7 foot bunks, more than 6'4 headroom, air
conditioning & heat, spacious saloon, largest head on any boat under 40
feet, fridge, ice-maker, sit down nav station, well lit cabin with
natural light from overhead portlight design, hideaway retractable
curtain shades, tons of storage, floor runway lights in saloon and at
companionway, electric head, LCD screens in main cabin and aft cabin, 3
zone stereo system (Saloon, aft cabin and cockpit controls, 2 station
autopilot, Aft doors all curved, swim platform with hideaway ladder to
make Loco happy! (largest platform in a 35 footer), great cockpit,
clean decks.....
The interior of the 35s5 blows away just about anything in it's range.
We looked at everything from new Sabres to C&Cs to Beneteau Oceanus and
First boats produced now. Beamy cruisers may offer more volume but most
still fall short in areas like headroom and sleeping spaces.
The boat is richly appointed even compared to the new Tayana DS 48 I
sail.
