Would you really go swimming in the LIS? gross.

Doug...not ONE of those boats listed matched or even came close to the
criteria I listed. Either no aft cabins, no swim platforms and so on.
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.

Francis Chichester, upon returning to England after having spent a night in
a port on LIS remarked, (not an exact quote) 'The Americans have such a
wonderful sailing ground there, but they've turned it into a cesspool. How
unfortunate.' I believe he made that remark in the 50s or 60s.
