Real Teak!!!

We have real teak veneer. If you have more solid teak (which I doubt)
it only makes overproof that much slower than the 35s5.


We'll have to test that theory someday Bob..... :-)

A Swan for local daysailing and weekend cruises on the Sound?

Yeah,

Translation; I can't afford one.

You'd **** Yer Drawers if you ever sailed in the seas I go out in up here.
you'd be triple reefed and furled to 75% in that light air rig.

Look Bob.... when I'm in a bay... I'm either sailing out... or sailing to
the nearest bar! There isn't anything to describe the feeling of swells,
open space and steady air..... oh well... it doesn't matter... enjoy your

Big deal. My boat has real solid teak. It's a pain to keep
oiling it. I think that plastic coated veneer fake teak is
better.


Of course some folks "like" oiling thier teak.

I like the 35s5 just fine. Since you seem to be clueless, Bubbles, I'll
spell it out for you: it's not your boat I'm jousting with, it's your
hubris. Humility is an endearing characteristic. You might wish to give
it a try.

Oh? How's that, Gary? Do you see me bragging about my boat, my cameras, my

Doug...not ONE of those boats listed matched or even came close to the
criteria I listed. no swim platforms

OH MY GOD!!! NO SWIM PLATFORMS!!!

My friend has a 5 and 1 year old. The swim platform is fantastic for
them. It's also great for dinghy use. No reason not to have it.



My lovely CCA-style boat has a low freeboard alongside the cockpit. My 3
y.o. grandson can easily slip over the side into the dink. And we lift
my 1 y.o. grandson in with ease. Swim platforms are for power boats and
floating docks. g

Max

And for race boats that want a little extra waterline and for protecting
rudders that are proud of the stern. You can lift a 1 y.o. into anything
with ease. The sugar scoop stern (racer)aka swim platform (cruiser) is
here to stay.



Yup, they are. So are Chris Bangle's ugly new BMW auto designs. No
accounting for aesthetic taste these days. Actually I have only one thing
against arytenoid sterns with platforms--they tend to be found on boats with
exaggerated beam carried aft. Most of these boats tend to drag their sterns
horribly. If they did not, I believe they'd all be faster and accelerate
more easily. These sterns are strictly a compromise--hullplan efficiency
traded for comfort and convenience. In their favor they are convenient for
older or less agile people to board from dinghies, and they are a nice place
from which to pee when underway.

Oh no, Steve--Bubbles has shown us all just how his Beneteau is
considerably
superior to Nautor Swan and other like products. Just ask him.


Given our planned usage, please tell everyone what the Swan would do
for us that the 35s5 won't.


Nothing, Bubbles. You should *never* own a Swan under any circumstances.

Doubtful. The way they construct their teak decks now is virtually leak

Depends on what you like. I have teak plugs over the s/s screws in the teak.
I like to be able to access anypart of the boat. If that entails removal of
some teak... it's far simpler and less damaging to remove the plug on oiled
teak than on teak with 10 layers of varnish. Oiling teak is a simple
effective method to maintain wood with a nice effect. Varnished glossy
interiors belong on vessels where the work is done primarily by the yard or
hired out.
