Ozzy, you really should know better than that. The surveyor was shocked
at her condition because most 35s5's have been raced hard. No boat
looks good after being put away wet too many time over 15 years. But in
this case the boat was unused for some years and hardly raced at all.
She was used by a dot-com company for entertainment for several years
and the interior was untouched. I looked at an older 345 that was also
in great condition because it was maintained properly. My 35s5 was
built in 1990 by the way. Her fit and finish is above average, "better
than most production boats" as noted by two surveys. She's certainly
nicer than the well regarded C&Cs we looked and a match for the Caliber
and Island Packet. Some construction points for you. Hey deck is
typical cored, with solid sections in loaded areas. Her hull is NOT
cored and uses a lighter weight stringer network for rigidity, key in
35s5's are
not known to have a weak deck. I found one with one area of wet core

Oh that'll spread in a hurry.... where there's one... there's a dozen!! yup!

due to a mast impact and bad repair. My deck is bone dry.

Mast Impact????!!!! Wooooooooooooo!!!

In every respect it exceeds Mooron's vessel, both in design and
execution.

If your tastes favour cookie-cutter, look alike, "cheap sunglasses" type of
designs....


Mooron sees a bright well fit varnished interior and can only assume it
must be plastic.

That Veneer is wonderful stuff... ain't it Bob??!!

This only proves he's sailing an ancient, if
ploddingly capable craft, but remains desperately out of touch.

Uh-Yeah... Shure... sailing a well designed vessel with classic lines is....
? not as much fun as sailing a 50k margarine container with veneer
trim???!!!!

Them's the facts.

The fact is ... I have the better vessel!!

Deal with it.... Get Over It.... your pathethic plastic isn't even listed
in sailcalc!!! How lame is that.... I mean seriously!
