I'd be willing to bet not one reader of this newsgroup can remember
you posting "dozens of wins by 35s5s" I remember you coming up with
a
couple and those were really non event races. What I do remember is
in almost every race result that everybody found 35s5s finished among
or after the PHRF 'C' class boats that started 5 minutes after them.
Nice try.



What a lie. I posted links even showing the 35s5 beating an Express 35
boat for boat and you simple yammered on about how it must have been
badly sailed. Here's just one of the posts that you had no answer
for...

Can you explain why Mistral, a Beneteau 35s5 has the following race
record?

Overall Winner of SE Florida PHRF Championship series 2002
Overall Winner, Regatta Time in Abacos 2003
Overall Winner, Hospice Regatta 2002
Numerous 1st place trophies in Biscayne Bay Yacht Racing Association
races and regattas, second overall 2003
Third place trophy at Key West Race Week 2003

She's a part time raced boat and has beaten your beloved Express 35
boat for boat. How could this happen?


And of course they were not PHRF C wins and you never even responded
in the thread, nor did you respond to the link about a 35s5 winning a
solo across the Atlantic race which is even on the North Sails
website!

Dude....your problem is: We own a nicer boat and you can't stand it.
We did not buy her for racing. If I wanted to race the only way I'd
ever do it would be One Design. Meanwile, as a weekend cruiser and
daysailor the 35s5 is a lot of fast fun and is better than your sad
Express 30 in every way!
