Default Only 6' long?

Is that the cockpit length of the 35s5?

6 feet, maybe 7 feet?

You must be on drugs there Crantz. A boat of that size should have a cockpit
length of over 12 feet. The seats should be at least 8 feet long. There is
NO WAY the cockpit is that small! No way!

Lloyd,

If you scale the cockpit length off of the drawings at:

http://www.geocities.com/shearwater9...?1070581634364

You'll see that the cockpit plus coamings is only 6 feet!

Use a ruler on the screen and scale it to the boat's overall length.

If RB could refute it, he would have by now. Accounting for the coamings,
the cockpit is actually less than 6 feet long!

Imagine that! One could not possibly lie down and stretch out on the seats
in the cockpit of an award winning cruising sailboat of over 35 feet in
length!

Who gave it that award? The pygmies?

Bwooohooohaaawaaahaaawooohooowaaahoowoohaa!!!

Produce photographs of a tape measure in the cockpit showing actual
measurements.

You can't!

Remember, cockpit and helmstation are separate.

Swim platform is not cockpit.

You cannot destroy me!

If your measurements come within the margin of error of my on screen
interpolation you are roasted duck! Greasy too!

Go ahead! Prepare for thy doom!!!!!!!!

You mean aft of the wheel is not the cockpit anymore? That would mean
tiller boats have almost no cockpit and boats with wheel's forward have
2 foot cockpits!!!!
The cockpit is the entire area for crew and helm. You said 6 feet.

But take another look at the pics and remember that a 7 and a half foot
bunk is under that cockpit. There is also room to dress and a closet in
the aft cabin.

You're in trouble!
