Imagination and spirit can be found in sailing boats...both old and
new. Some are fads that don't last, others are refined into standards
that last. Some aspects of the 35s5 lasted....the swim platform, aft
cabin, large head and good turn of speed: all things we expect on a new
35 foot boat these days. Things like her below decks furler and odd
ports did not, for the most part, last. But that's what imagination is
all about and it's a wonderful thing when it's worked into a splendid
boat like the 35s5....

Thats not imaginary rust stains on yet another 35s5.

You will never see rust stains on my all steel boat, but it looks like
all the 35s5's have rust stains on the stern.

Looks like the majority of 35s5 that get water salt water on them
rust.

Joe....that's pretty funny!
There's more rust on any steel boat in 3 sq. feet than on ALL of the
35s5's out there!

35s5....no rust stains!

Why not just ASK me why my ladder isn't rusting like the others? I'd be
happy to tell you.

A little care and proper maintance anyone can keep such things from
happening unless it is steel bolts ect running thru plastic that can
not be maintained. That looks like whats happening to me on the 35s5's.
The running rust is not coming from the ladder on all these pictures it
is coming from the base of the backstay.

I allready told you why your is not showing running rust. All brokers
know all you have to do is put Ospho in a spray bottle and mist the
running rust, it disappears until exposed to salt spray again. Bad on
paint, and worse on fiberglass gelcoat. Look around the area on your
boat rob, you will notice the gelcoat in that area looks chalkey.

You 35s5 guys should get together a file a class action lawsuit!

is coming from the base of the backstay.

Bwahahahahaha! Joe, you're funny! So the rust is running from the
backstay, then under the ladder area only! What about the port side? No
rust there. And the backstay is in a recessed area, so how is the rust
climbing up, then back down to end up beneath the ladder only on the
starboard side!?
Please explain!

Bad on
paint, and worse on fiberglass gelcoat. Look around the area on your
boat rob, you will notice the gelcoat in that area looks chalkey.

We did, both me and two surveyors. All gelcoat is bright and shiny in
spite of the last wax job being about 6 months ago. Now, since the boat
sat in salt water before she was shipped and I brought her to the slip
myself, how much MORE salt water exposure is required for the stains to
come back???


(PS: This may be the saddest trolling ever...and I like it!!!)

BTW Rob this pictures pretty much says it all about crew and boat.

Just look at em. Tortured souls to lazy to pull the tangle of lines out
of the water, none of em look like they are enjoying anything.

Don't you agree?
