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.
Lock, I've heard the term semi-plane for years and years in regard to
boats like the 35s5, 30/30's and various J-boats. The 35s5 hull bottom
has a flat section at the bow to give it lift and in some situations it
will semi-plane. I'm pretty shocked that you never heard it. It becomes
more and more clear that you've sailed in a bubble your whole life.

35s5....a boat quick to semi-plane.
