So have 60 ft sleads, The thing is your going to work your ass off to
make a long passage Bob, a real cruising vessel is set up right and pretty much take care or herself. Unless you have a tough well tested crew of 3 I would not want to make an ocean passage on a 35s5. And as OZ has pointed out you have a good chance of having your rudder wiped out late at night, which on a 35s5 looks like it might take the rudder and sugar scoop out in one big crunch. You better stick to LIS and her light breezes and mild chopp. Joe |

And yet the Beneteau users groups are filled with owners who use their boats for long passages, Joe. I know a fellow who's made long passages on a little Bristol 27 and another who does it on a dirt cheap US yachts 30. They love it and don't feel abused by their boats. Joe, you're sounding more and more like a panzy-ass sailor. The 35s5 has circumnavgated on a family trip. RB 35s5 NY |
