Have you actually seen a Beneteau 35s5 stern sections? They are not
"sucked in" at all

Doug, in all seriousness, you're not correct about this. The aft
sections are indeed sucked in and it's easy to see. I can photograph it
soon if you like.

Go ahead. I already know exactly what it looks like, there's one in our
marina.

Actually, the hull is similar to an early 1980s IOR type when designers
began realizing that a small fast boat can beat a big slow one. Instead
of pinched ends to maximize waterline, and tiny little reverse counter
transoms, boats got to be like big dinghies with flatter aft sections
(the Ben 35s5 has a very flat panel section) and bigger transoms.

Oz1 will probably remember "Smackwater Jack" which was one of the first.

I have a boat that is clearly a displacement hull, yet it can plane
in some
situations. Been there, done that..

Is this guy the Boob's sockpuppet or what. OK I guess a super tanker
can plane in some conditions. Face it numbskull neither your boat or
the boob's boat is gonna plane like a MUMM 30.

Wow! You're a friend of Snotty (and katysails too)! I think Australians
went down in IQ about 10% after this post! Sorry Oz, I wasn't referring to
you.

and you could hear her coming as she slammed her way uphill.


I only saw pictures of her in magazines. IIRC the hull was boxy, almost
straight back from max beam to transom, and very wide & flat aft. What
was her construction like?

It was tragic that the people aboard were lost in that storm.

It does have a remedy. Frying bacon.
