Motoring characterisitcs: Cant back up the folding prop worth a damn.
motors at appx 6 knots very nicely. Liveability: I'm afraid, everything that makes her a great racer, makes her a bad live aboard. She is narrow and compact (compared to many other 35' boats. Cockpit locker hinges are a terrible design. They are constantly in need of repair. As my boat is getting older, I'm spending more time trying to find wiring gremlins. as with most production boats, the wiring is just not accessible. The holding tank is too small for any crew over one. Trouble is it would be difficult to mount a new one in the space allocated. The Facnor furling is prone to fouling. The previous owners were racers and didn't use the system, hence I've spent considerable time trying to perfect the system. Access to the engine is marginable. We've got a folding prop. Great for sailing but forget it for serious motoring. In a 20 kt head wind and moderate seas, she simply will not push through. For simple ICW motoring, no problems but not a speedster. Changes to a Max Prop in 1990 and can not over-state the difference from the folding prop. We do lots of 2 week cruises in light air areas and the Max is great. Very responsive under power in reverse Upgraded complete electrical system with new AGM batteries and Smart Charger in 1996 Roller furling changeout was a hassle. Still have problems with slack headstay. Starboard and port lazarette lid hinges (have changed both out to St.Stl. continous hinges), door hinges- have changed all of them. The water supply pump in a difficult place to remove or maintain, however original Johnson lasted 14 years. Also, water heater difficult to winterize. No markings on plumbing lines. A Window leak destroyed "membrane" electric panel, replaced with a Blue Seas panel. Someone put basic sailing instruments in a homemade pod above companionway, which kills access to cabin, and made for difficult dodger configuration. Have removed and moved insts. to bulkhead and rebuilt dodger. For whatever reason, boat does not sit on lines. Perhaps weight of 2 grp 27'S under port aft berth causes this. Original batt. config. not enough amp hours available with refrigeration. Many dings in non-skid, just a tad aggressive in my view. Leaves marks on my bare feet. 28 hp Volvo, is a good engine. Won't push through against a 9 knot Cape Cod canal current though. Motors easily at 6.5- 7 kts, at 3/4 throttle with folding 2 blade prop Would any of this stop you from buying this model of boat? |

Would any of this stop you from buying this model of boat?
Let's see...you mean the hinges on the cockpit lockers that need to be replaced with heavier ones? The boat I'm buying already had it done. Or how about the wiring? Already redone to a higher spec on my boat. But you didn't do much research at all....The 35s5 also had a problem with aft cabin liners coming down....already professionally redone on my boat. Some furlers had to be recalled due to tensioning problems...already fixed by Beneteau on my boat. Boat doesn't back up well with folding prop...I have a maxi folding and the original fixed prop to try. Water supply pump is easy to get to...but the water heater isn't. Every owner seems to love the boat. Only one said "maybe" then explained that their boat was abused when they bought it. My survey shows "above average, bristol condition, showing a high degree of care and pride of ownership." I'll post a scan of the survey page on my site when we close. Robert B Beneteau 35s5 NY |

Ulcerative colitis (UC), a chronic inflammatory condition associated with a
predisposition to colon cancer, is frequently characterized by DNA damage in the form of microsatellite instability (MSI). A new report links inflammation in UC with increases in the DNA repair enzymes 3-methyladenine DNA glycosylase and apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease, and, paradoxically, with increased MSI. These findings may represent a novel mechanism contributing to MSI in chronic inflammation. A longstanding question in cancer research is the strong association between certain chronic inflammatory conditions and the concomitant elevated risk for malignancy in affected tissues. Understanding the molecular mechanisms driving the progression to cancer may not only provide more effective means of prevention but also shed light on mechanisms of carcinogenesis. Ulcerative colitis (UC), which affects as many as 6 per 100,000 people in the United States, is a relapsing form of chronic inflammatory disease of the large bowel. Patients with more than a 10-year history of disease have a 20- to 30-fold greater risk of developing colorectal cancer (1). Both chromosomal instability (CI) and microsatellite (short, repetitive nucleotide sequences in DNA) instability (MSI) are present in UC and can be detected early in dysplastic, premalignant tissues (2, 3). What are the sources of these changes in DNA sequence? Chromosomal changes are frequent in cancer and MSI has been clearly documented as a result of mutations in mismatch repair enzymes in the hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer syndrome. MSI is also observed in many other malignancies (4). Accumulation of mutations in microsatellites could be the result of alterations in enzymes that normally guarantee DNA stability, thus leading to a mutator phenotype (4). Existing hypotheses postulate that excess amounts of free radicals found in inflamed UC tissues overwhelm DNA repair pathways, leading to the accumulation of damaged DNA (5), or that mismatch repair pathways are inactivated, either directly by oxidative stress (6) or by hypermethylation (7). In the traditional view, members of DNA repair pathways are heroic players, stoically laboring against the overwhelming tide of genetic insults thrown their way. "Capt.

Sexually transmitted diseases of the colon, rectum, and anus. The challenge
of the nineties. Wexner SD. Department of Colorectal Surgery, Cleveland Clinic Florida, Fort Lauderdale. During the past two decades, an explosive growth in both the prevalence and types of sexually transmitted diseases has occurred. Up to 55 percent of homosexual men with anorectal complaints have gonorrhea; 80 percent of the patients with syphilis are homosexuals. Chlamydia is found in 15 percent of asymptomatic homosexual men, and up to one third of homosexuals have active anorectal herpes simplex virus. In addition, a host of parasites, bacterial, viral, and protozoan are all rampant in the homosexual population. Furthermore, the global epidemic of AIDS has produced a plethora of colorectal manifestations. Acute cytomegalovirus ileocolitis is the most common indication for emergency abdominal surgery in the homosexual AIDS population. Along with cryptosporidia and isospora, the patient may present to the colorectal surgeon with bloody diarrhea and weight loss before the diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease. Other patients may present with colorectal Kaposi's sarcoma or anorectal lymphoma, and consequently will be found to have seropositivity for HIV. However, in addition to these protean manifestations, one third of patients with AIDS consult the colorectal surgeon with either condylomata acuminata, anorectal sepsis, or proctitis before the diagnosis of HIV disease. Although aggressive anorectal surgery is associated with reasonable surgical results in some asymptomatic HIV positive patients, the same procedures in AIDS (symptomatic HIV positive) patients will often be met with disastrous results. It is incumbent upon the surgeon, therefore, to recognize the manifestations of HIV disease and diagnose these conditions accordingly. "Capt. Rob" wrote in message oups.com...
