Hey, the 35s5 has just over 400 hulls and not the best capsize ratio,
yet two also circumnavigated. What gives with the CS27?


And again Bobsprit demonstrates he knows nothing about sailing.


Well....we'd all like to get educated! Please explain why a boat with
500 hulls out there couldn't be used to circumnavigate. Lesser (and
that's not easy) boats have done it.

You'll never own such a boat and she's
modest in most respects.

I'll say... right down to the teak grain shelf liner coated interior.

You'll have to excuse Mooron. He keeps ignoring the fact that key
interior components of the 35s5 are honeycomb material (to save weight)
that cost twice what teak costs TODAY! That and the fact that he's
continously repairing the poor interior of his Nordica 30 has him
rather cranky.

Nobody seems to need it but you, and you ain't worth it.



"Aint" worth it?
Oh. So your defense on any point from here on will be to simply pretend
you had one. Good work, Dave. I think it's clear why you don't sail a
nice boat.

Published that book you bragged so much about years ago?

Shooting the pics for it now.

That's a "No" then.

Yep.


Dave, why don't you explain to all of us why the Catalina
27, one of
the most popular and well loved family sailors of all
time, is junk.
Jack Horner and pretty much every other expert considers
it to be an
excellent starter boat. My Cat 27 was a ton of fun and
only cost me
5K!!! It had more room than your boat as well.
A guy who owns a boat with a 50% chance of blisters
shouldn't throw
stones. My 1973 Catalina never had blisters and is still
sailing today.

As an unscientific lark, I just googled the following:

"cs 27" "circumnavigation" = 26 hits

"catalina 27" "circumnavigation" = 2140 hits

Make of it whatever you like. It's all in fun, anyway.


I would be interested to know with which keel Dave's boat
is fitted.

Better be a yes...already spent the small advance.

What honeycomb material is that?

Most honeycomb is made of epoxy impregnated cardboard. It is doubtful that
aluminum or fiberglas honeycomb is used on your boat.
