've got a boat that you would suck Commode Joe's liposuction residue to

own....


Why would I own a boat like a Nordic 30?


You wouldn't. Only someone who actually *sails* would own a Nordic 30.

It's slower in light air and
heavy, does not go upwind as well, has a smaller interior and cockpit,
cheap steering system, no swim platform


OH MY GOD! NO SWIM PLATFORM??!!

and it's only charm lies in
it's dated attributes.


Mooron prefers to think of it as aging gracefully.

It's a poor boat for sailing fast, for racing,
entertaining or just feeling the thrill of a modern hull capable of
easily exceeding it's limits...


Yeah, what a drag to own a boat that will actually stay in one piece in
****ty conditions.

as the 35s5 does easily. It won boat of
the year when released


You bet. And Chantiers Beneteau paid dearly in advertising for that.

and still wins races.
By the way, we don't have the standard interior. We have the teak
option, most of which is NOT veneer.


Correct. It's vinyl over MDF.

The interior blows yours away just
as easily as it outsails you.


I especially love the way Bendy Toys' cabin soles creak and groan when you
walk on 'em.

Sorry...you're PHRF rating is very generous


. . . meaning there's no way in hell you could ever beat Mooron on
corrected time with that underrated slug of yours.

and you couldn't have
sailed faster than my Pearson 30 or C&C 32 in your wildest dreams.


Except in winds over 15kts. Oh hey, I'm sorry--I forgot--you never untie
the boat in 15kts. or better.

The
35s5 is far, far faster and much more fun to sail.


Uh huh. Especially if you enjoy puking your guts overboard while your
bleach bottle boat unglues itself around you.

Your boat is a
wonderful little cruiser for elderly types, but useless for a family
seeking true sailing fun.


Funny how elderly types like Bubbles love to call others elderly.

You can't even post a SINGLE pic of your boat
showing a nice interior...because it's tired below.


Five years as Bubbles' dockside condo and that Bendy won't be much to look
at below either. Toddlers wreak havoc on interior vinyl.

You can't find a
single stat on line or anywhere to show us that the Nordic 30 is in any
way capable of being fast.


Powerboaters just love it when sailors talk about "fast."

It's a slow boat to China, for old sailors
who are legends in their own minds.


It's a boat that can actually get to China, unlike . . .

35s5....the boat for people who can't afford a real sailboat, like a
Nordic 30.
