Dolphins!
I forgot to mention that when test sailing the 35s5 last Tuesday a pod
of Dolphins swam with us for quite a while. I guess some of you see that all the time, but it was way-cool!!! Even the Dolphins dug the shape of the 35s5! Robert B 35s5 |

Tell us about what you see in the water around City Island.
Tell us about the "fresh air" and the "spray" in your face! Bwaahahahahahahahahahaahahahahaha!!!!! Amen! "Capt. Rob" wrote in message ups.com...

Tell us about the "fresh air" and the "spray" in your face! The air is pretty fresh where we sail! The LIS is actually a pretty clean body of water because of the flow exchange. The damage to the ecosystem is in the silt. RB |

Only boats that waste energy on bow waves attract dolphins. My boat
glides through the water with almost no wave making resistance. Capt. Rob wrote: I forgot to mention that when test sailing the 35s5 last Tuesday a pod of Dolphins swam with us for quite a while.

Why do you think my boat is faster than yours in a breeze, at all points of sail? Why do you think my boat can do 17 knots with less sail area than yours? It isn't by making bow waves! |

Gawd Nutsy,
How stupid can you get? Those toys are Porpoise. A Dolphin doesn't have a snout. If you'd get ass out around the Eastern end of the Sound, you'd see Porpoise. A porpoise is an air breathing mammal. A Dolphin is a Fish, extracting air thru Gills. You can't even get a phony picture right. Ole Thom P/S Raining like the "Hammers of Hell" out here. Dog and I are getting house bound. |

Frankly speaking..... I wouldn't sail in that water let alone swim in it. It
always appears to be a turbid brownish green in all Bob's photos. I've seen sewage lagoons that looked cleaner. Not the type of water one wants splashed on bare epidermis. What can you do..... It's Bobsprit's cruising grounds and it's not like he has any choice in the matter. I can't blame Bob for minimizing his exposure by taking only short sails infrequently and remaining dock bound where sanitary facilities and medical assistance are readily available. It's either Long Island Sewage.... or the security of a Sailboat Condo at the marina. I'm certainly glad that the coast of Nova Scotia is still relatively pristine and the water is a deep blue.

Jeff might have one of those inherently dangerous catamarans that are more stable upside down than rightside up but at least Jeff has been known to sail his vessel hundreds of miles (and perhaps up to a thousand miles) from his home port. This makes him at least twice as brave and many times more of a sailor than you will ever be even in your wildest dreams. You're too chicken to schlep your fat arse out of LICS (Long Island Cesspool Sound). Therefore, when you criticize Jeff and his vessel you sound very foolish.

Why do you have trouble believing that my boat is much faster than yours? It is, after all, 3000 pounds lighter and has about the same sail area. In 20 knots I can go upwind at over 8 knots, at 45 degrees to the true wind. Footing off a bit and she'll do 10 knots. The racing version of my boat rates 51, and the standard rig of the smaller version rates 105. Your boat is a clumsy toy by comparison. Live with it. |

This makes him at least twice as brave and many times more of a sailor than you will ever be even in your wildest dreams. Thank you for the kind words, Neal. As for flipping, you know, of course, that there have been very, very few occurrences of that in cruising cats. And interesting aspect is that it has never happened under bare poles. The stability of a cat can give a false sense of security, leading some people to stay over canvassed. For my boat, which is a tad under rigged, the capsize point with full sail is 45 knots of wind. And yes, we've been more than 1000 miles from home, from Boston south to Key West, and north to Toronto and Bar Harbor. We've used the boat less the last few years, but still got out for 6 weeks this year. I figure we've slept on board for about 600 nights away from home. And we don't seem to need A/C! A friend returned from wintering in Newfoundland (!) and got me thinking: If we sailed around Nova Scotia one summer we could leave the boat around Cape Brenton or maybe in Sydney for the winter. The next year we could hop over to Newfoundland for a summer, and them return to Sydney. The third summer perhaps go up the St. Lawrence and through Lake Champlain to return. How's that sound for a plan? Here's some of my friend's pics of Newfoundland: http://liveaboard.sv-moonshadow.com/...004/index.html and their sailing site: http://liveaboard.sv-moonshadow.com/mnshdw.htm |

Are you claiming you can only reach at 8 knots? Why don't you show those polars and we'll explain them to you. I haven't seen the polar for the 35s5, but here it is for the 407, certainly a faster boat by farr. You'll note that upwind it doesn't see 8 knots until its at 55 true. Overall, it would almost keep up with my boat, but only if they flew the chute. The light air performance, I admit, is impressive. http://www.1stsailing.com/Boats/BoaI...hnicalData.jpg |

with my boat, but only if they flew the chute. The light air performance, I admit, is impressive. And here on the LIS light air is what it's all about. We sailed the 35s5 in less than 8 knots and made better than 4. Owners of the 35s5 love the light air ability and just about all aspects of it's performance. Your boat might hit some big numbers off the wind, but it's still a sea-truck for old folks. Most people who actually like to sail wouldn't think of owning one anymore than they'd own a trawler.

Most of the owners of my sisterships do extensive cruising, up and down the East Coast, the Bahamas, Bermuda, Caribbean, South America. I've met more than half, and don't know any that haven't done at least one extended cruise. Rather impressive given that fewer than 100 were built. They don't stay in one corner of a pond where there's no wind. Most people who own bendy-toys are terrified of going further from their slip than the shore power cable will reach. They challenge others to a race, but then claim they're "too busy" to actually travel anywhere to race. They brag about having A/C but the boat is so poorly ventilated that A/C is needed for survival. They claim the head is large, but don't mention there isn't a shower. And you call 4 knots in an 8 knots breeze fast? I can probably do that! Now if you could do 6 or 7 knots in an 8 knot breeze, I'd be impressed! RB 35s5...a better boat than yours |

Right you are Mooron.
However Boobsie complains about pollution, yet he chooses to live in the worse of it. Would you raise a child in such a place? It borders on child abuse. His neighborhood in Queens is the worst for air pollution, it is at the confluence of 5 major expressways. Why does he stay? "Capt.Mooron" wrote in message news:nOQ9f.73070$S4.48813@edtnps84...

Now that I have a boat you all envy all you can do is **** and moan about how I'll use it. If I take a long trip aboard her you'll **** and moan about sail trim. It's all rather sad. Face facts. You've all been eclipsed. After this boat we're buying a liveaboard and we'll say goodbye to your weekend warrior life styles. And we'll have done it many years before you! You'll live out your lives with part time dreams...and that's truly sad. The bitterness and frustration in your posts makes all so very clear. Only Ozzy and Mooron seem to have a grasp.

I confess I never accurately measured our performance in 8 knots - if we're doing under 5 knots we're likely to fire up the engine. However, I recall a trip to Marblehead in 10 to 12 knots of wind, where we did 5 to 6 knots, somewhat faster than I expected. What made it memorable is that we passed a Catalina 42 to leeward - close enough to have a conversation as we edged by. When will make even one post without exposing how little you know?
