Whoo hooo! I win, I win!!!!

Nope. You're stuck with the boat. You better sell it quick, because
if you actually use it, its value will tank.



One day you claim your boat regularly
outperforms its rating, then you claim they can't win because the
rating is artificially low.

Why must you lie? Can't you make a single real point?

A lie??? You were quite explicit that the rating for you benny will
be lower than its design would imply because it attracted professional
crews. You can deny it, but your posts are there. You even said that
the ratings are skewed towards lesser boats: "The more serious boat
needs a serious crew at times to beat it's less seriously crewed cousins."

This has gone quite badly for you.

You think? It seems like everyone here agrees with me and thinks
you're a buffoon! You have to make up fictional supporters, and quote
marketing brochures. Now you're even claiming I lied about your
posts, when they're right here for everyone to see.

You've exposed yourself and the poor PDQ 36, which
is getting bitch slapped because you can't defend it.

right booby. Why don't you sail up here and show me? Oh, right, you
don't do overnights because that would be horrific. Why don't you
have it trucked up here and show me? But don't bother, I'll probably
be off sailing!


WHAT I SAID WAS,
the 35s5 rating is a problem for some because she's often crewed with
crews of more experience. That makes it tough on the occasional racer.

Why is that? If the rating is fair then the only difference is that
the better crew probably sails better. You were explicit: the rating
is lower than it should be because it "attracted" better sailors. Or
that the rating of "lesser" boats was higher because they were sailed
by less skilled owners. You said: "they all said we'd have to sail
the 35s5 with far more skill than an old Ericson, Columbia or Pearson
to win" because the ratings were skewed.

Sorry booby, you're completely busted on this. Like all of your claims.




Where are
those benny polars that show hull speed at 30 degrees true?


Wow, you have no shame, eh? Feeling pretty desperate aren't ya? Never
ever did I say the 35s5 could sail at 30 degrees true.

OK, what you said was:
Actually the polars for my boat
show 6.5 knots at 35 degrees, but owners do better with the newer
sails of course, claiming hull speed even closer to the wind

So lets see those polars, boobie. I'm not even doubting that you can
point up pretty high, what I've been saying, and you seem too ignorant
to understand, that the VMG improvement is tiny, and probably doesn't
cover the added leeway.

All you've done by pursuing this is to show your ignorance in the one
area that you claim superiority. Thats sounds like pretty poor
performance to me.
