RedCloud ~ Steady 9 knots, 42 ft without wasting space on a fatboy
staircase on the stern. No blisters or smiles, 7' headroom...
wheelhouse room for 8, More AC, Generator, More sails, stronger, more
water, fuel, holding tank, better navigation equipment, better pumps,
better fire fighting,lifesaving equip, better dink, better liferaft,
more freezer space, fridge space, better stove, larger shower & head,
TV,s Stereos, Computers, Lighting, Sonar,larger bunks with more leg
room, better interior fit and trim using better grades of wood, not the
veneer crap all production boats have, Better chronometers, and
barometers...oh and about 3 times the interior space as your little
plastic bat cave has.

Not that I'm bragging. Just giving you a small glimpse of reality.

And, it's damn nice looking, seaworthy, and I suspect seakindly.

And is about as solid.

Solid as steel.

Joe, around here your boat is a powerboat. It's too heavy and couldn't
win a race against my boat in a million years.

35s5...faster than Joe's metal monster!

Race you across the Atlantic in winter for pink slips. New York to
London.

You would be out of the running just when RedCloud started streaching
her legs.

I would finish in comfort.... and you would be batter and bruised
beyond reconition.. if your boat did not fall apart and somehow made it
across.

Joe

Now Joe..... asking someone to an ocean race that has never left the
harbour.... is bad enough!

.... but when the boat you challenge is designed to require reefing in 10 kts
of wind.... well that's just plain low to taunt a pond skimming fin keeler
that way!

Well ****.... he said any race!.............Why bother with racing
around a cess pool like LIS? If your going to race on lakes use a 49er
or something fun. Not a daysailor like Bob is paying to store and truck
around the highways of the east coast.

Joe, few or none of us are racing to London. And I haven't seen you off
this group to even go for a daysail. We're coastal sailors and in most
conditions my boat will toast yours upwind and "semi planing" a lot
faster than 9 knots downwind. Let's be real. Do let us know when you
leave for London though!

35s5...faster than Joe's cruiser for sure!
