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.


Gary, that idea of a boat "coming apart" shows how little experience
you have. Even the lowest end boats will hold together just fine. The
35s5 has circumnavigated as a stock boat.

You are trying very hard. I'll bite.

I get 5000+ miles a year under sail for the last 4 years and I have been
sailing since I could walk. I have about 15 years of seatime under
power in various ships/jobs ranging from BWK to Captain. I have a
little experience. Yesterday I brought my 102' ketch 79 miles through
30+ knot winds and a snow storm home from Nanaimo to Esquimalt. (under
power) No sails were bent on because she was in a work period. What did
you do?

It is our down time now so I have time to play with wanna be's like you
who spend most of your time in front of a computer living vicariously
through guys like me.

My sailing accomplishments are a matter of public record, Google me.

Who are you?

Nice Boat ! Sailed on the Spirit of Massashusetts a few years ago, a 125'
schooner out of Boston, sailed to Maine and raced in the Great Scooner Race,
lots of fun!

Gary, try not to be so hard on Joe, he's actually a good guy and
a sailor, but, he's from Texas.

Common Texas Greetings include questioning your lineage, honour and word...
as well as derogatory remarks about your country of origin.

What can I say... they feel cocky cause they're packin'.... rest easy...
they get real polite after they have to check their firearms at the door.

But do you have your own boat, or do you just run one for Her Majesty?

Lets See When 16 I entered the US Navy on served on a ship that had
women that you canooks drulled over, at 21 was the youngest 1000 ton
freight and towing master in the USA (USMM Master Ticket 607529) at the
time. I have my own boat and take it damn where I want to take her ,and
not where my superiors tell me to take her, And I do it when I want to
do it.

As a Captain and Master I've commanded 120 footers to 360 footers from
1100 HP to 25,000 hp. One year working for Mobil I logged 47,450 miles
carrying crew and supplies, I've towed items larger than any ship in
your navy.

My office is aboard, and I live aboard a 42 ft Ketch named RedCloud. I
own 2 internet and communication bussinesses that allow me the leasure
time to enjoy this fine sailing forum, Your life of servatude and low
wages is nothing I would want to live vicariously or any other way.

Welcome to ASA Captain.

He does..... he writes in Texan.... you can hear some of it when Bush
gives a speech.

If a Texan forgets a word... and it happens often... they just invent a new
one to replace it!
