Default Doug's Sailboat

Can't find a place to stow a 6 pack of beer while cruising, in other
words a cruiser without any room for needed supplies to cruise, And a
racer with a GET THIS has a MAX 7.3 knot hull speed


According to the Beneteau group, owners have made 14 knots on 35s5's
and the newer 36.7 has gone even faster. Your boat is incapable of
surfing in such conditions and would rarely exceed hull speed as the
35s5 can do with ease. I like your boat, Joe. She's a nice home, sure
and steady. But performance is not what she's about.
