The 35s5 isn't of the size that it's light air design and fin keel wouldn't make long passages stressful for the crew. In a harbour beer can race, neither the Sea Sprite nor the Nordica would stand a chance against the 35s5. If it was a long distance race with open water ..... the playing field would prefer the cruisers. Mooron, don't get too carried away by the 35s5's racing ability. I seriously doubt ANY long range conditions would favor the Sea Sprite or Nordica. You may be more comfortable, but you won't be in front. The 35s5 is used for offshore racing, long distance cruising and has circumnavigated. At 11'460 lbs and near 30 feet LWL it's not very heavy, but it's not a Mumm 30 either. RB 35s5 NY My limited experience would indicate that the 35s5 will feel like it's going to come apart long before the Sea Sprite or Nordica. I think that ratings would favour the Sea Sprite. |
