I admit, my impression was based on the "First" series.


Which one? You mentioned a lightly built rig...on which boat. My 35s5
has rod rigging as do many of the First series boats. So....tell us
which boat you were on. I guess it didn't have rod rigging so it must
have been a lot older than my 35s5. Then you mentioned a toe rail
looking like it would blow off. How exactly did you make that
judgement? All toe rails look about the same. Did you go below and see
how it was fitted. And again...on which boat?
