Default Fantastic Sailing again!

You clearly don't understand the fractional rig at all. Most of
the
35s5's drive comes from the mainsail. She does everything well under
her main alone, even besting hull speed with good wind..

Can the rest of you see that the Boob has read too many J-Boat
brochures? Boobie even though your designer boat has a fractional rig
it doesn't have a huge main that would power that tub around like it's
a race boat w/ a fractional rig. Give it up. Beneteaus are designed
for the average bloke who is also considering a Catalina or a Hunter.
