You keep saying that. Where is the link? You did provide a link to a
partial circumnavigation, but it doesn't seem to have been completed,
even though its been ongoing for 5 years.

Jeff, are you so dumb you can't nav a website either? That website had
many many pages of pics where that 35s5 had sailed to.

Sorry. Their last listed landfall was Turkey. You get credit for a
full circumnavigation, not a partial. I have little doubt that it
could, but I think they might have mentioned if they had. Moreover,
you refer to this as a "family cruise" when in fact its two young
guys. Not that there's anything wrong with that.


Far, far, far
more t han your PDQ has or ANY PDQ I googled up. In addition to that
the Beneteau website is filled with First series boats making long
passages. Beneteau's make more ocean passages than all of the Island
Packets, PDQs and Pacific Seacrafts combined.

I'd be curious to know where you get that number from, but isn't it
true that Beneteau is the largest manufacturer, and might have made 10
times the number of boats as these builders? What counts then is the
percentage of their boats that have done ocean passages, and on that
count there are a large number that exceed Bene, including PDQ. About
a quarter of the PDQ 36's have been to Bermuda. In fact, there's an
annual rally there that attracts 6% of the fleet. Several have crossed
the Atlantic. Several are in South America now. Since only 99 were
built, it doesn't take many to be a significant percentage. And you
could say the same for a number of other brands.


The sad thing is that you probably know this, but continue to troll
with lies.

Gee, in my previous post I supported your claim that any reasonably
built boat can make a passage. In many cases, people do passages in
the boat they have; they don't often have the luxury of buying purpose
built passagemakers. Are you telling us that someone with unlimited
funds would pick a 35s5 as his first choice?

So why don't you explain to use why some people pick other boats. Why
do Caliber, and Pacific Seacraft, and Island Packet, and Valiant, and
PDQ and a host of other brands command prices double and triple your boat?

Why? I've told the truth about the PDQ based on your own
comments and actually being aboard one.

Sorry Bob. You are an admitted pathological Liar. Your sudden claim
that you sailed one last summer doesn't hold much water.


On the other hand, you've never
sailed my boat and can only draw made-up conclusions in the face of
reality.

I've never sailed your boat, but we've been on board. You don't hear
me talking about the good laugh we have whenever we see a Beneteau.
Ooops, sorry.

While you are fond of saying my time on the PDQ is a "lie" I
never said anything really bad about the boat, now did I. We just found
it dull to sail...a 100% subjective comment obviously shared by many
others who prefer monohulls.

And not shared by others. There's no doubt there's a very subjective
value judgment here. And frankly, I've never really tried to convince
people the cats are better the monohulls; I've only tried to set the
record straight on certain misconceptions. If too many people bought
cats, I've have trouble getting a slip!

Get over it, dude. I don't like your boat. You already said you liked
mine,

Now who's lying? When did I say that?

then tried to backpedal. You're like a two year old!

I only said it was a good choice for you. A better boat would be a
waster of money.
