Default 35s5...superior for her purpose

Want to daysail....cruise, race or just be ahead of the pack?


The only way you'll ever4 be "ahead of the pack" is if you take a slip at
the end of the dock!


35s5 deck and bulkheads are honeycomb for light weight and immense
strength.


......can you spell trade-off???

So much for the lightly built deck, Ozzy. Deck problems are
rare on these boats. Only problem I found was due to a dropped mast!


Holy Moly.... yeah that's real strenght there Bob!


Laminated inner hull units are rot proof and make her extremely stiff,


Plastic is rot prrof??? Go on you say!

while saving weight. She has no core to hassle with and meets the same
standards as cored vessels for strength.


I believe barely meets requirements would be closer to the truth.


Rudder stock is epoxy composite with no reported failures. None!


Reported Failures??..... Shure!


Deck features special non-skid patterns supperior to standard and a SS
rail that runs the entire length of the deckhouse.


Wow... you mean they copied the non-skid deck pattern and s/s toe rail from
almost any other boat and used it on yours?? Amazing!


Oh my! What a boat! Swim platform, aft cabin, heat and A/C, nav station
will chart sized surface, ample stowage, huge head, huge cockpit, R&P
steering system....and one of the shortest lists of long term problems
for any production boat ever!


Now all you have to do is learn to read a chart, navigate and er-r-r-r-r...
swim in the LIS???
