You are one of the lucky ones to have a wife who has her head screwed
on
straight. Poor Doug's wife's neck is cross-threaded. But, I guess it
just
goes to show that one pays for one's mistake in a mate one's entire
life.
(The woman is probably obese to boot!) Sorry, that wasn't nice.



Crantz, we can only guess as to how Doug really came to own a
powerboat....yet he still posts here, which is even more pathetic. He
claimed he was looking at some nice sailboats to cruise on. Certainly
there are some interesting motorsailors out there if things soured that
badly. Though she does not sail well, I've always had a warm spot in my
heart for the Fisher 37. And there are always the Nauticats and a few
other interesting pics....all with masts and some sailing ability. For
Doug, the days ahead are far, far fewer than the days behind. It's too
bad it ends this way for him, but perhaps he got what he deserved.

Ahhhh.. You must be sooo proud! He sounds more intelligent than his
parents.



LOL, Donal. Are you sailing? We're really having a blast on the 35s5.
In case you missed it, these are the 35s5 pages (4 so far) that I'm
working on.

Good job on the website. I don't particularly care for those window shades
but the rest of the interior looks pretty nice. At the Miami Boat show last
year I talked to a fellow who custom made wooden blinds for yacht windows.
They would look great in the interior of your Beneteau. You have a choice
of woods or plastics. I would choose wood and match it to your interior
finish. They were a bit pricey but a man of your means knows quality is
generally worth the price.

But, looking at the specs reveals a somewhat skimpy ballast to displacement ratio.
Do you find the yacht to be a bit tender or does the beamy hull form stand up
to a gust pretty well/

To be honest, I was expecting a much lighter feeling boat. My
impression when sailing her in 20 knots+ in Florida was that she was
somewhat tender...and she did round up more than once. Now that we've
gotten used to her I think she's stiffer than the C&C 32 was. One of my
friends said, "she feels stiff for a 30 footer" so he at least felt she
was a bit tender for her size.

That last sentence seems to not make a whole lot of sense.

Did you perhaps mean to say something like, "he at least had the
preconceived notion that she was a bit tender for her size?"

Thanks...impressive boat to be sure, but I don't care for the larger
ports...which look to be glued in place (I bet they're not). They give
the boat a somewhat generic look taking her beam on. I'm not sure I
wouldn't pick something a bit more salty looking or sporty at such a
price point.

Funny thing but I've noticed that "salty looking" usually means old-fashioned
and slow. Take a Gozzard or a Cabo Rico, for example. Both are salty but
both are relatively slow. I guess I like the Outbound so much because she
is understated. Could be mistaken for a Catalina at a distance but no
Catalina could even hope to stay with her on an ocean passage nor provide
even a modicum of her seakeeping ability.
