Default 35s5 vs Express 30


Well let's see how the tally is going.....

The 35s5 has a big proper racing wheel. The Express 30 has a small
wheel that is hard to reach from the high side.
The 35s5 has ports that stay in place. Express 30 has famed pop-outs
that are glued in place!
The 35s5 is the faster boat!
The 35s5 has a far nicer cabin with air conditioning. The Depress 30
cabin looks like something from the 70's!
The 35s5 has a swim platform with hidden ladder, while the Express 30
has a exposed ladder! Oh boy.
The 35s5 has a larger cockpit and better deckspace!
The 35s5 has an aft cabin! Some Depress 30's didn't even have a quarter
berth!
The 35s5 has a large head. The Depress 30 often has a porta potti and
barely room for the knees. Some heads were wide open to the V-berth,
like Sloco's boat! Yikes!
The 35s5 is a pretty boat with lines. The Express 30 is blocky and hard
looking, a fairly ugly boat under sail.
The 35s5 won boat of the year design awards and was featured in MOMA
Magazine for it's inovative interior. The Express 30 won no awards and
there are fewer wins online for it.
The 35s5 has won many races and sold over 400 hulls worldwide. The
Express 30 sold an embarassing 100 hulls or less!
The 35s5 features Whitlock steering. The Depress 30 relies on coat
hangers!
The 35s5 features good ventalation via opening ports. The Depress 30 is
a floating microwave.

Of course there's much more, but I have a 102 fever! I'm going back to
bed.
