Your boat is dated. I like it, but it's done.
Your interior is cheaper than mine by a mile. Fit and finish on my boat
is better.
My bowsprit is ALL stainless. No rot.

An anchor roller is not a bowsprit. And one that drops mud on the
furler is worth squat on a cruising boat.

I have probably double your storage. In fact the 35s5 had a 2nd aft
stateroom option which on my boat is ALL storage!

What a crock! You know that isn't true! Or maybe you don't, which
would be rather sad.

I have modern nav gear, such as the new Garmin 192c.
Your boat is not faster on ANY tack in ANY conditions. Get real!

I like your boat. It has some charm. But in the REAL world, my boat
does everything better and faster.

Except sleeping overnight on a bendy would be horrific!
