Bet it would leave a French 35s5 in it's wake. Good Luck.

Nah, they're twins. Very cool boat though.

Besides, I don't like bidding on military stuff, they tend
to ride stuff *really* hard and put it up wet.

Yep, under jib alone.

Actually, this a bit more boat than I want right now. These
things are awesome, we saw a few sailing at a regatta up on
the Chesapeake... leaving the sports boats & cats behind...
according to the numbers this thing is faster in than
anything in it's size range short of a Grand Prix multi...
but if the guy will take my offer and the trailer can be
dragged to NC without sinking money into new wheels,
bearings, etc etc, then I'll take it just for the fun.

I'm actually more interested in a 29 foot sportsboat that's
closer to home (also on a trailer) but we'll see how this
offer pans out.

If I had any sense I'd just get a Laser or one of those
Swift Solos!

Doug,

Your abilities allow you to outsail a particular 35s5 by standing in a large
styrofoam cooler with a bedsheet as a sail.

Amen!

I just don't get this kind of flattery home! Thanks!

Maybe we should propose this as the new Olympic one-design
class? It would be fun to watch and open to a much wider
range of participant... what would you suggest as a sail logo?

One of the many naturally occuring bedsheet stains, of course!

One benefit may be the olfactory tell tale properties of a properly stained
sheet.

Amen!
