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.

Real Teak!!!

We have real teak veneer.

OOoooo, real teak veneer! My, but we have hit the big time, Bubbles.

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

Continuing with that argument, Bubbles, your Bendy should be trimmed with
balsa or styrofoam.

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


PHRF below 130 aint no theory. Mooron. Chill, baby.

OOooo, 130. Impressive.

When you've sailed a boat or two with negative PHRF numbers, call me back.

Yeah... numbers on paper.... I'll show you the actual factual !!

20kts. and steep seas should do it.

(Of course Bubbles' boat won't leave the dock under such conditions.)

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.

If it's below decks, you might try varnishing it.

Give you more bragging rights on ASA.


If I bought a Swan I assure you Crantz would find races it lost, Max
would find deck problems

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

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.

Translation; I can't afford one.

35s5 it's all I could afford, but still better than a Yugo

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.

In retrospect... there's a lot to be said about the simplicity
of a Windex
wipe and a spray of pledge. Seriously though..... Ozone has us
all beat for
bullet proof interiors.



Yeah, he can go inside with a power washer and simply hose er
down.
MacGregor brags about that feature on their X boats.

Yup, they are. So are Chris Bangle's ugly new BMW auto
designs. No
accounting for aesthetic taste these days.

Yulp, look at the Pontiac Aztec, or the new Tribecas.
