I suspect that you don't understand what makes sailing boats go fast. Any 30
footer that can achieve an average speed of 7 Kts is going to be light, and
have big sails. It will require a fit and agile crew who are prepared to
work hard.






Benetoad? You have got to be kidding! I would not touch a piece of
crap like that! Every one I've sailed has been too light in the keel,
and too tender as a result.


Too fast for you?


Then is the Benateau considered more in the "light but fast" category? I
sailed offshore on a 39-ft B a few months ago in 30 - 35 kt winds, with
breaking waves. My impression was that it was somewhat difficult to
keep the boat on course (yawed back and forth as it went over the
waves). - However, it did routinely cruise at 7 knots when the winds
were slower.

Hey Troll,

Single handing, Racing?; Sea Berths/ Fin keel and no narrow stern?
Getting old and single handing/ wanting big Cat?

You better start thinking smaller, lower freeboard ( So you can get
on&off) and dock when wind gets above 10 Knts.. 7 over 5 on a blue water
boat? It sounds like you need a Trawler?

Get Real!!

There are two main types of Beneteau. The more common version is the
"Oceanis", which is a fairly light cruiser with reasonable performance. The
other is the "First", which is lighter and faster. The "First" boats have
flatter bottoms and very deep rudders. Some of the "First" models have
quite spartan interiors. The "Oceanis" models have smaller cockpits,
rounded bottoms, larger interior accomodation and shorter rudders.

My boat is a First 33.7. It often does 8Kts. It once did 15Kts down a big
wave under spinnaker. I don't find it difficult to keep the boat on course,
but this is a subjective view.

The 33.7 is fast to be sure and it can do a heck of a lot better than 8
knots on a reach. I did 10 knots this morning! The 33.7 has an okay
interior, but my 35s5 interior is nicer. I find the 36.7 interior to be
junk, but there's no debate on the boat's stellar performance.

I looked at the 36.7 a couple of years ago, and I was very dissappointed.
It is almost a pure racer. The accomodation is very poor., but I am sure
that the performance is truly spectacular.

I think that my next boat will be a bit more like this...

Have a look at the 40.7....another boat on my list for down the road,
assuming I don't actually get a smaller boat like an Alerion 28
(another idea I'm entertaining myself with).
The 40.7 is very fast and pretty comfy below. Fit and finish is so-so
on the single example I saw....but for the fun factor I bet I could
live with it.

I looked at the 40.7.

It only has 6" more accomodation down below than the 33.7.


Most of the extra length is wasted because the huge steering wheel means
that the rear cabins finish 5 feet from the stern.

8 knots? So you were sailing with a 4 knot current?

15 knots? You? Under spinnaker? You need to lay off that LSD man.

That would be "you're" not "your", Joe. And I thought those 3 grade English

Joe has a much smaller boat than 95 foot. IIRC, is was around 42 foot.

So far, you are not impressing me very much.

Umm, just a minute there, Dave. I haven't seen his picture or pictures of
his "fleet" of boats yet. ;-)

I figured it had to be about 95 feet because he claimed a hull speed of 13
knots. I didn't realize at the time that he had no idea what the term
"hull
speed" meant.

Mostly correct... just wanted you to know that it isn't a good idea to

You mean to tell me that Lady Pilot caused hurricane Katrina? That's quite
an

Joe doesn't know much of anything. He's "jealious" of anyone who actually
sails their boats, instead of stay at the dock like he does.

Don't laugh, I was accused of causing Wilma also...I won't name any names
though...

Ganz has never seen me and only tells the tale of me being a man because I
smacked him very hard in a debate during the presidential election that had
him foaming like a rabid rat. Now I just feel sorry for the gay guy. I'm
glad he finally started seeing a shrink. His behavior had improved greatly.

Jon and Joe believe that I can cross-post once or twice and bring on an army
of people to run to my defense. (Defence for you, Capt. Mooron and Oz)
I hold the powers of Usenet that they fear! Bwahahwahahahahahaaa!
