Of course, its slower than my boat, and even loco's. And Mooron's
would probably do a horizon job on it in any weather worth raising the
sails for.

As I said, its not a bad daysailor. As a cruiser, it leaves a lot to
be desired.

Quite a come back after being thrown to the mat.

Winning the last
race seems to be important with racers for some reason.

Gee, I've been racing for quite a while and have never heard that.

Same here. I usually DNS the last race as my throwout if my finishing
positions in the others are sufficient to hold my place, or if a win won't
advance me in the standings.

Which was NOT the case with the race we were discussing. The 35s5 beat
the C&C 99 boat for boat, though it's rated 99 in many areas.
Pretty much the end of the story. If our comfy boat can pull that
off....and the other wins I posted....that's cool with me!
The 35s5 hangs with some fast company...and wins!

What happened to the fun of sailing? Why miss a race? Let someone else
skipper, change jobs, do anything but sit on the dock. It's not about
winning, it's about sailing.

Poor Sloco!

Even clobbered the C&C99 and boat for boat!

I don't know how a 3 mile race even qualifies as a race. I suspect it
was shortened due to lack of wind and the fact that all 5 boats
finished within 4 minutes of each other might also indicate that. As
far as beating the 99 hey, we've beaten a 99 and they start 5 minutes
ahead of us. Anything can happen. So now after 2 weeks of intensive
web searching you've found 2 races where a 35s5 didn't finish last.
Congrats.
