Default Doug Remains an Idiot

A long time ago you claimed you were going to post photos showing the
IOR tuck in your 35s6s stern. Since it's got a big flat section, that
would be rather difficult.

The tuck is there, Doug. As you walk towards the stern (while she's on
the hard obviously) the hull pushed inwards for about the 3rd of her
length. READ it again.

Perry mentions this in his comments on the design. She has two other
earmarks of the IOR design. DO you know what they are?

Once again, I doubt you've sailed a 35s5 or know much about them. Yet
you comment on sailboats that you barely know!


Read 'em and weep, Bubbles. Please quote the part where Perry says the
35s5 has a tucked stern.

From Boobsie's link, comments by Robert Perry:

"The 35s5 came in at the tail end of the IOR era. The hull form shows
IOR earmarks. The pinched stern had been designed out of favor by the
New Zealand designers, who proved that it was better to take the aft
girth penalty and to give the boat a more effective stern shape with
more volume and beam aft."
