It's all About the Boat
Boobie, go back and do some research and find out why the 35s5 sold new
for an above average amount. It wasn't because of build quality,
technology, speed, hull design, rig etc. It sold for a premium because
Beneteau got the briliant idea to have some semi-famous gay guy design
the interior and they had to pay him royalties. Check it out. At the
time all the reviews poked fun at Beneteau.
What reviews? I have them all, so please direct us to these reviews.
35s5 Cruising world boat of the year, German Yacht show-inovation
award, European boat of the year and featured in Moma Magazine for her
unique design elements.
The 35s5 cost more because of her highly built interior built in
France. No other Beneteau has it. Other items that cost were her
whitlock steering, honeycomb bulkheads and custom fittings. She didn't
draw from a big parts bin the way many other builders did. At the time
of her release, she was among very few boats of such speed and interior
comfort and in today's world of Catalina's, Hunters and Bavaria's she's
still way ahead of the pack. So much so that I could have bought one
for less 5 years ago!
Puh-lease show everyone you're not a liar and tell us which reviews
poked fun at the 35s5.
