I know, I know...you're very happy with your old slow boat. That's
nice. Really. It. Is.

"The Leukemia Cup Regatta"? Which one?
Perhaps it was this guy - "Have found myself in
the mainsail trimmer position on a 35s5 Beneteau.
We raced this weekend came in 6th of 6th (Leukemia
Cup Regatta)."

Could be the same guy...guess he needed those new sails!

The 35s5 is one FAST cruising boat. I've sailed J30, J35, J24, 30/30's,
C&C 34 XL and so on. But the thing I'm most impressed with is the rack
and pinion steering. It's tiller feedback in a wheel...amazing! Every
wheel steered boat should have it.

The real winners are the Luukemia suffers who recieve support
from the race donations.

Sorry bob, you've shown us once again how low a loser like
yourself can sink.

Only an animal like Scotty would troll this thread. Bye bye, animal.

Hey Nutsy,

Where is that roomy cockpit you've been talking about? Look at that
picture YOU posted. Three men fill that cockpit up.

There will be no stretching out in that cockpit. Not enough room for an
Adult to lay down.

Now let's see a picture of the roomy V-berths & the Aft Cabin (S)

The cockpit is larger than the Catalina 34 or 36 cockpit. We had 5
adults on board Tuesday and there was room for 2 more with ease. Down
below I can actually stand as the headroom is just over 6'4. Amazing
for a 35 footer and truly excellent for a racer/cruiser. The births are
over 7 feet in BOTH cabins. Few boats can manage the same. And finally,
the head is large enough for folks with long legs...the largest I've
seen on ANY sailboat under 40 feet. Deck space is made further friendly
by the fact that lines are run below. A clean deck will protect Thomas
and Mom's feet! The galley is secure, the seating area comfortable. The
nav station larger than the C&C 32's and many others I've seen. For
anyone over 6'2 it's the best layout I've seen for cruising in a 35
foot boat. Recently Catalina introduced the 350 which also has a cabin
friendly for taller folks.
Oh...and let's not forget the truly big swim platform with integrated
swim ladder! This is a perfect boat for tha family, especially on all
those light air days on the sound. Very few boats can match her feature
for feature and still perform...a few come to mind...C&C 34XL, C&C
99...both much more expensive. We came close to the C&C 99, but the
open transom didn't go with a toddler and the bunks were pretty tight.
After sailing this boat twice...and feeling the power and speed along
with the precise steering system....FORGETABOUT IT!!!!

35s5!!!

Look at the pic, Thom! Look how long that cockpit is!!! Look at the
generous coamings. It's a big secure playground for Thomas and his
parents...even when we're surfing at 14 knots! I sailed the boat is
some stiff winds...it's awesome!!!

You're going to take his Dad sailing?

Now if I was in Bob's position and had
to chance to sail a vessel up from Florida to NYC... an easy passage
with a
multitude of ports I would do that instead of trucking it. Why is Bob
in a
rush to get a new boat back up on the cradle???


Because I want to start installinng our new gear now and I don't see a
whole in our schedule for quite a while. Storage for me here is free.
The boat only costs me money sitting in St. Petersburg.
