A Better Boat
Mooron has correctly pointed out that his vessel is better in heavy
conditions and certainly she has an edge in survival conditions. But on most days the 35s5 will be faster, higher pointing and generally more fun to sail...just as a C&C 115 would be even MORE fun! But we bought the 35s5 to sail mostly in the protected waters of the LIS with our new son who will be a year and a half old when he steps aboard his new yacht. He'll have his own cabin, a place for his soft toys and wonderful music when he's below deck. On deck he'll be in a truly huge cockpit and with mom's help, have access to the slick swim platform. Forward he'll have a clean deck to tread on, free of lines and gear. Back in the slip on a hot day, we'll have the 19'000 BTU air conditioning. On a 92 degree day it kept the whole interior cool with the hatches open. Sweet. The aft cabin is sized for adults...a rare thing in a 35 foot boat. Was there a better choice? You bet. The C&C 99 fit the bill. But with plans for a much larger boat for living aboard 5 years off, it didn't make sense to spend more than twice the cost of the 35s5, which is a more comfortable boat. 35s5...35.5 feet LOA, FAST boat, beautiful interior, aft cabin, swim platform, huge cockpit, clean decks, no serious record of problems...a sweet boat!

This is great Rob!
Why not tell us about the wonderful life of your family - all the free time you have together, the relaxed pace of living, the freedom from fighting for a day to day wage, the fullfillment of the highest needs. You wouldn't want anyone to get the impression that your fine vessel is simply an escape mechanism from a hellish existence would you? Those night shifts for Suzy and your diaper duty must be rough! Bwaahaahahahahahahahahahaaa! Amen! "Capt. Rob" wrote in message oups.com...

Being Americans, we don't mind a bit of work. Suzanne went to school for 3 years to become a nurse in critical care. I continue to work as a media monitor 4 hours a day...it pays better than most people make working 12 hour days! Sailing is not an escape, Bob. It's an extention of one's self. If you haven't learned that by now you probably never will. And if changing your own child's diaper scares you, you probably aren't real American stock anyway. RB First 35s5 NY |

for 3 years to become a nurse in critical care.
At her age this raises a red flag. What did she do before that? She was a copywriter. She's now working in critical care which is a pretty amazing job. RB |

aren't real American stock anyway. If one makes as much money as you, ever think of hiring a full time nanny? What for? We're both home all day long 7 days per week. The whole point is to be home for him, not pawn him off on some nanny. RB |

Nutsy,
I don't think Thomas will ever step on a NEW yacht as long as he live with you. It will always be an OLD, USED Yacht http://community.webtv.net/tassail/ThomsPage http://community.webtv.net/tassail/Pneuma |
