Boobie, go back and do some research and find out why the 35s5 sold new
for an above average amount. It wasn't because of build quality, technology, speed, hull design, rig etc. It sold for a premium because Beneteau got the briliant idea to have some semi-famous gay guy design the interior and they had to pay him royalties. Check it out. At the time all the reviews poked fun at Beneteau. What reviews? I have them all, so please direct us to these reviews. 35s5 Cruising world boat of the year, German Yacht show-inovation award, European boat of the year and featured in Moma Magazine for her unique design elements. The 35s5 cost more because of her highly built interior built in France. No other Beneteau has it. Other items that cost were her whitlock steering, honeycomb bulkheads and custom fittings. She didn't draw from a big parts bin the way many other builders did. At the time of her release, she was among very few boats of such speed and interior comfort and in today's world of Catalina's, Hunters and Bavaria's she's still way ahead of the pack. So much so that I could have bought one for less 5 years ago! Puh-lease show everyone you're not a liar and tell us which reviews poked fun at the 35s5. RB 35s5...a nicer boat that Sloco's by a mile!
