Joe, shape is only part of the formula. Weight, LWL and Sail area are
among many factors.
Indeed, that why I said "your 35s5 would fall off behind the
horizon in no time."



Joe, our 35s5 has a higher SA/D than your boat, and a faster DISP to
LWL ratio and less wetted surface for her length as well.
Feel free to post the specs of your boat.


My boats faster than your boat Rob, thats all you need to know.

I guess Joe is afraid to post the specs on his boat. But I imagine if
he tells enough people his boat is faster than a J35, Express 30, 35s5
or a Swan 70...someone will believe him...someday.

Ah well. Not a very productive troll. Going sailing at 4:00.

Never going to be prductive when you claim your tenderbox is faster
than RedCloud.
RedClouds hull speed is much faster than the 35s5. Simple Logic.

RedClouds hull speed is much faster than the 35s5. Simple Logic.



So then my boat must be faster than a J29, right?

Joe, just slink away quietly. We all like your slow boat, really, we
do.

right! But Only if it can leave the J29 behind, like RedCloud would
leave your 35s5 way behind, in-fact over the horizon behind in no time
at all. Then it would indeed be faster.

It's OK Rob, your boat is nice for a real tender flat water day
boat...really.

Wrong, Joe. A 35s5 is slower than a J29. And a J29 would clobber your
boat even worse then my 35s5.
It's starting to seem unlikely you are any kind of captain, or at least
you know very little of the basics regarding sailboats.
Redcloud could beat John Cairn's Catalina 28 in most conditions...I
think! But that's about it.

Wrong, put Redcloud and a J29 and a 35s5 in the middle of the Gulf of
mexico, toss in 28 kt winds and 12 ft seas. I would cruise at 9 kts
steady without engine and both the J & 35s5 would be in survival mode.
You would be douched more than a lipton tea bag on a plantation porch.
You be about as fast and graceful as a grey hound on ice.

USMM masters # 607529....look it up, thats with over 11 yrs underway
bubbles. 7 as Captain & Master. then add 10 yrs living on my own vessel
RedCloud.

Your boat is slower than RedCloud Rob. No if's, ands, or but's about
it.
De Vries builds the sleekest fastest steel hulls on earth. Very high
quaility.

Oh and BTW my Helm is much nicer than yours, it's hand made by one of
the finest craftsman on earth. Even has a lucky charm inside her.

And I bet the coin's under both my mast's are worth more than the coins
under your SINGLE mast.(if you have one)....... that is smaller than my
mizzen BTW.

Bubbles, you're nutz.

A phrf certificate is around $35.
Most regatta entry fees are under $100.
Making it real easy here, come back with a flag, any flag, we'll even settle
for evidence that you CREWED on a boat that took ANY flag.
