Beetlejuice (Betelgeuse), by the way, would be a good name for that
thing.


Sorry, Maxprop. If you actually did some sailing and observed other
vessels you'd know that's too common a name,

Bingo.

while 35s5's are unique

Yeah, really unique, those Beneteaus. Ya never see 'em.

with fewer than 200 in the USA.

There are 46 examples of my boat. And my friend's Panda 34 is one of 5
built. THAT is unique. I'll bet there aren't many more than 200 Macs out
there.

The rest are winning winning races in
Europe and Japan!
I sailed a Stone Horse Saturday evening....neat little boat for the
older set.

THAT, too, is unique.

Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice.

Good common name for a common boat.
