Just a slight correction, Doug, he claims to have paid 12X my
boat. Otherwise the rest is 'right on'.


Actually, as you all have pointed out, Suzanne bought the boat, so
Scotty paid more than me. Just based on the fun I've had on this list
with my free 35s5, I've got the better value!

A feature you want is "worthwhile" and being able to sleep
comfortably
on a 60-80K boat is not a "tall" order, but tough to find if
you're
tall.


I'm 6'2'' and I sleep just fine on my $5k sailboat.

Hmmm.. that's not been my experience. I mostly find Canadians to be a
heck of a lot nicer.

Would those be from the Canadian section of San Francisco?


Giving bad directions have nothing to do with breeding or
intelligence.

Inbreeding, perhaps, and it certainly has something to do with being
observant. Or maybe Canadians just don't get around much.

This rant is soooo American. You're right, we all love you.

If they could only do the "arrogance" and "indignation" with some self
confidence it would be much more palatable! :-)

Perhaps you Cannucks would care to give us lessons.

Do tell? Something produced in America appeals to you?

Lots of things produced in America appeal to me Max..... Indignation for

LOL. Jealousy is such an unbecoming trait, Mooron. Don't worry--just about
anyone other than an American would mistake you for one of us. g

This isn't my "opinion," these are the facts. For opinions, you can
find numerous people who say that the bendy is hard to sail to its
potential, and requires high skills of both helm and crew. You're the
one who claimed the rating is actually too low and "average" skippers
have trouble winning because of that.


Here are some "facts" for you, Jeff. Do with them as you wish.
The Catalina has less sail area than the 35s5 and displaces 2000 lbs
more. The 1st series hull has less wetted surface as well. I have a
nice Catalina 34 here that I've sailed plenty of times and I sailed
Catalina 36's on a few occasions. Catalina 36 SA/D is 16.99. They are
not terrible in light air...maybe a bit worse than my Pearson 30 was.
Unlike you I've sailed the boats being discussed. It was a light air
sail on the 35s5 near Oyster Bay that sealed the deal. Keep in mind
that we also sailed the J34c, which we found comparable in light
air...and rated the same. If you think a Catalina 36 can outrun a 35s5
or J34c there's simply no hope for you, dude. Hey, but if warms your
heart any, the Catalina backs up better!

More of your typical BS, BS. You're claiming the bendy is "just as
fast" as a J34c. The fact is that J34c rates about 111. I don't have
the Americap adjustment, but it probably isn't very large one way or
another. Meanwhile, the Bendy's rating, adjusted for light air, is
well over 150. So Bob is claiming that his new dog is "just as fast"
is a boat the rates more the 40 seconds faster per mile. You're soft
as puppy ****, bubbles!

Then he spouts number to show how much he knows, but all he did was
show that the Cat 36 has a higher SA/Disp then his bendy! (He hasn't
figured out the the numbers sometimes given for the bendy are wrong!)

You can crunch numbers until you turn blue, read comments and race
committee evaluations. None of that effects the truth of the matter as
indicated by owners

Oh - the owners ... they're always the ones with the most unbiased
opinions. Except maybe the salesmen.

and someone who's actually SAILED the boats...which
I have posted warts and all.

And obviously we should believe a pathological liar who insists that a
boat is just as fast as one that rates 40 seconds faster.

Shure thing Max..... we can do it with confidence because we have a sense

Don't...we have to many Dougs and Jeffs....guys who sit on trawlers and
multihulls and fancy themselves sailors. When someone nicks at their
fragile bubbles of fakery, they let out the famous cry....
