The 35s5 has discontinous rod rigging!
Hey Bubbles, do you even know what this is? 35s5 deck and bulkheads are honeycomb to save weight! Rudder stock is epoxy corposite!

"Epoxy composite" could be good or bad. Actually, if properly done, a molded composite rudder post is stronger than SS. I'm not saying that I'd trust Beneteau to do it, but it can be. And honeycomb core is standard in airplane construction, are you saying the FAA gives commercial type certifications to planes that are likely to fall apart?? 35s5 fitted with new Dutchman system! Yuck. Counter tops are marble! And this is an advantage? Why? Yuck again... I don't like marble countertops. They're fragile & heavy, and dull your knives terribly. But I guess they're impressive to boobs like Boobsie. DSK |

Is this why you had to scour the country for one the could (possibly) pass survey? Doesn't that give you a good feeling, knowing that if used, they fall apart? All lines and furler below deck! So that the jib is a deck sweeper that gives no visibility from the helm? And since the furler hole is right under the anchor roller, doesn't mud from the anchor just fall into the furler? Of course, you'll never actually use the anchor, will you? 35s5 fitted with new Dutchman system! Counter tops are marble! And this is an advantage? Why? Halogen and LED lighting! whoop! The swim ladder FOLDS flush into the platform! Two zone AC and heat for aft and main cabin! Why? Haven't you figured out you can't use it under way? Bunks sized for adults over 7 feet long! You keep saying that, but in the drawing only one corner of the berth is over 6'6". And neither "stateroom" has enough space to actually stand up. BTW, you should keep a fire extinguisher in the cabin, since the door opens to the galley and you have no other way out. Our daughter's cabin is in the same location, but she has a full sized escape hatch over the bunk. Which brings up another problem: you claimed 7 hatches but there are only 2 deck hatches that can provide ventilation, and 4 are small side portholes, and one opens into the cockpit, fer gawd's sake! That boat will be stifling in the summer! No wonder you need A/C! Good luck trying to sleep at anchor with one tiny hatch opening into the cockpit! Headroom over 6'4!!! But you only have about 3 sq. feet of floor space! Owners report easily outsailing their ratings! Isn't that a contradiction? Kind of like being too tall for your height? |

Hey Bubbles, do you even know what this is? Actually, Doug...I had rod rigging on the C&C 32. This will be more tuning, but I have a racing buddy who weighs 120 lbs to tune the rig and she really likes doing it. Epoxy composite" could be good or bad. Actually, if properly done, a molded composite rudder post is stronger than SS. No record of failures on this model. Perhaps I'll be the first. Yuck again... I don't like marble countertops. They're fragile & heavy, and dull your knives terribly. I agree, but we also have nice wood cutting board inserts. The marble is pretty and Suzanne likes it. And honeycomb core is standard in airplane construction, are you saying the FAA gives commercial type certifications to planes that are likely to fall apart?? Jeff knows this. He might also know that the 35s5 is far more advanced in design than his fat cat. RB |

I've sailed two cats and
I just don't care for them. Wow, that many? I've been on lots more that I didn't like. So, it was a Gemini and what else? Gemini and PDQ. I actually liked the Gemini better, but it was also brand new. Both were dull to sail. We had better wind with the PDQ and it was fast off the wind, but it just felt like nothing. We could have been in a motorhome. Very little feel. Suzanne hated it, and my J24 racing friend put it perfectly..."Why would you ever want to take this out for a daysail?" Sorry, Jeff. We like to sail too much to own a fat cat. Robert B 35s5...the better boat |
