Can't say that I'd mistake her for a 30 footer, nor has anyone else. I
think she looks 33-34 feet because of the platform and sleek hullform.


yeah sleek small looking hull, thats it..still looks sall for a 35 ftr.


No one has ever mentioned a problem with the light weight rudder as far
as I know.


May be OK for the boat

The prop shaft is small to save weight. No record of any
problems there either.


Shouldent unless it's fouled, and bevt, not any chance of running it
aground.

I have an idea that the guy is planning to fare those wings.


Your right he was at it tonight

Several
folks have done it with impressive race wins, most recently a 35s5 won
the Quadrosolo of the Atlantic in 2005.



You should race Rob. Once or twice anyway
