I think you know what a swim platform is.

A powerboat feature, generally.

35s5--no speed, but what the hell--there is a swim platform. :Chantiers

Also, the small performance gain
for the 33.7 here seems to run hand in hand with a near 7 foot draft
which doesn't work for us. The only draft that works for us is beer.



As I think I mentioned,
our interior was not built here. But did I mention that I'm clueless?


FYI, our next boat could very well be a 45f5...but that's 4-5 years off
at least. This is plenty of boat for us now. And did I mention that it
has a swim platform?

Don't be silly. Plenty of sailboats now have swim platforms integrated
just like the 35s5.

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.

Golly, Maxipad....you already said you like the boat. You're as bad at
this as Jeff.

If you are going to dream of owing a superior production boat, you should
take a look at what Swan builds.

A Swan for local daysailing and weekend cruises on the Sound? Yeah,
sure. That makes sense. About as much sense as Jeff's PDQ.

Would you really go swimming in the LIS? gross.

Good work, Doug.
You proved my point. The 35s5 (at the time of her design) was a rare
combo of features and speed. Nowadays such a boat is a lot easier to
find...for about twice the price. C&C and Kirie were among the very few
other contenders.
The 35s5 is essentially umatched for her speed and accomodation, unless
you spend much more. I bet there's some odd make boats out there that
can do the same...but not easy to find, buy or resell.
Thanks again for making my point!

Swimming in the LIS off a boat is safe and clean. Swimming on beaches
is less lean due to sediment contamination. This is one of the reasons
we wanted the swim platform as it's a great way to get Thomas
acclimated to the water with a higher degree of safety. After
performance and the generous cockpit, many owners say the swim platform
is a favorite feature.
