Default No Way, Joe


Thats one fast hull, shaped like that fastest fish in the sea. In all
conditions over 10 kts and 2 ft ....your 35s5 would fall off behind the

horizon in no time.


Joe, shape is only part of the formula. Weight, LWL and Sail area are
among many factors. As I said, even Sloco's Express 30 is faster than
your boat. If you continue to claim otherwise, you only continue to
exhibit a lack of understanding of what makes one boat faster than the
next. If your boat had such refined sailing speed, she would not be a
motorsailor.
But feel free to post the SA/D, LWL, wetted surface area and so on for
you boat. That would give a very clear indication of her sailing
abilities. So far you have yet to post this basic data required for
making some estimates on performance.
So far you've sounded pretty silly, posting performance claims
exceeding those of a Swan 70. A pic of a dated underbody is hardly
going to support such a claim.
