Yep, old sails and worse ruined cushions from wet sails dumped on them
again and again. One needed updated running rigging along with new
cushions. One of the four boats had some of the interior removed, such
as the table. But the boats were generally solid and looked fine. Raced
to death doesn't mean a bad boat...it can be cosmetics which can cost a
fortune. Go price new cushions and sails. As usual you're clueless and
jump to conclusions. BTW of the four we looked at over the last 3
months, only one remains unsold! And all sold for more than what we
paid. The one with the bad deck sold for exactly what we paid!

blah blah blah ...
Do you really think anyone believes your "I bought it for half price
and then sold it for triple" stories? Gawd, what a jackass!



Right, it really hurt me when you said my boat doesn't heel. What
other faults did you find - too much ventilation?

According to you, when you want to have some sailing fun you go sail a
dinghy.

No, I said when I wanted the experience of heeling and holding a
tiller I sail a dinghy.

We all know that the PDQ 36 is something less than fun to sail.
Folks who love to sail buy 35s5's, or even Express 30's, Jeff. Nobody
equates "sporting fun" with sailing a PDQ 36. NO ONE. Not even you.

Gee, I think doing 12 to 14 knots for a few hours straight is a lot of
fun. So is doing 100 miles in a day. I know you think sailing in the
same 2 square miles for your entire life is fun, but I outgrew that
about 30 years ago.


When we go sailing with family, with friends or just the three of us we
like to be on a boat that's fun, a boat that heels and can get our
blood pumping. We don't want to be on a river raft. That's what you
like and that's fine, but don't compare it to the very different
activity of sailing a monohull. When we sailed on the PDQ 36, my wife
couldn't even see the point of it. We might as well have been on a
powerboat...a really slow one.

You probably weren't on a PDQ at all - its more likely you just made
up the story.


With the 35s5 we have a boat that's fun and can cruise on our weekend
trips or longer. Hell, I posted a link to folks cruising around the
world in one. They seem to be doing fine! Based on your criteria you
have the ONLY boat here suitable for cruising in this group BTW.

I never said that, I only said its better than yours. And thats what
this is about. You want everyone in the entire world to agree that
your boat is the best for every purpose and that every other boat made
sucks by comparison.

And frankly, your boat is fairly nice for some purposes, not so good
for others. But your continued groveling has convinced me (and
everyone else here) that A. you simply don't know anything about
boats, and 2. you're terrified that your bendy is the piece of ****
that you always claimed it was.

So keep trying to claim you have the best boat ever made, Booby.
Every time you do it everyone looks at you a thinks you're a pathetic
little loser.

And what makes you think I have no sense of humor?
