Rainy Day Sail
 

I had hopes that today would be like yesterday....cloudy, cool and
breezy...but we only got the last part. An hour into the sail rain
became steady and pretty annoying. I still love the sound of the rain
on the water and we were sailing beautifully, but no fun for Thomas
below decks for most of it, so we came back fast. We were the only
sailboat out. When we got back I finally hooked up the wireless laptop
and tomorrow will mount our new gear.
Ah well. This should all clear out by Wednesday....and we'll sail every
day there's wind!

Hope you all are getting in some sailing!

Some of us can only dream of sailing more than once or twice a year.
You and your fine family are so fortunate to be able to sail so often.

Our sailing is very very modest. Mostly daysails with a very local
overnighter now and again. Certainly there are folks who are doing far
more with their boats. Where I am fortunate is that my wife likes
sailing and our first real summer of sailing with our son has been a
supreme joy.
We ask Thomas..."Do you want to go to the zoo?"
"No!" He says
"Do you want to take a bath?" He loves bathes, but says "No!"
"Do you want to go to the boat?"
He smiles everytime and says, "Yes! Boat, boat!!"
So I feel quite lucky and our new vessel has been exactly what we had
in mind for the perfect boat for the area. And of course we never ever
wanted anything but a sailboat. No crappy trawlers for us.

Actually, Doug himself posted that he hoped his wife would like the C&C
121 at a boat show and want that. It's clear that she had no problems
giving up sail for power. On the other hand, if DSK was looking at a
great boat like the 121, he certainly had hopes far away from anything
like a Sundowner 36.

Fortunately some of us prefer sailing over motoring. It's not about

I have a married friend who always wanted to buy a nice sailboat big enough
for him and his wife and two dogs and go sailing off into the sunset when he
retired. Instead the wife talked him into buying a big bus of a motorhome.

Think the poor fella will be happy motoring around and fighting traffic?
Not to mention buying expensive diesel fuel for the thing that probably
gets four or five mpg? Not to mention those horrible KOA campgrounds.
Not to mention how much he will be contributing to the carbon dioxide
load and global warming...

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.

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.

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.

To bad you can not enjoy a sail in a heavy rain, Thomas would love
sitting on my dash and watching the lighting and squalls, and water
spouts. Good thing is keeping him below will surely help him develope a
sence of balance and cause his inner ears to adjust and mature faster.
He will be immune to sea-sickness all his life.

She pretty well must be tender but not because of her size but because
of her ballast/disp. ratio. But, hull form can go a long way towards
disguising tenderness. If she has slack bilges she'll show her
tender nature but if her bilges are well-rounded she will stand up
much better initially because of the leverage factor of the hull on
the keel or better stated the leverage factor of the keel on the hull.

The Beneteaus I've seen in the yards look like they have wide, rounded
hull forms.

Thanks, No slack bilges there for sure. Picture her heeling and note how the
bottom profile tends to magnify the weight centered low in the keel because
of the leverage factor. A good fast design with minimal wetted surface.

Those little wings are well designed and well placed (aft) and will help control
the tip vortex to minimize drag from keel end turbulence. The rudder is also
state of the art elliptical.

One must remember that RB's boat was designed over 20 years ago when disco
was king and the science of computational hydrodynamics was sorely lacking
due to limited computational means available to designers. RB's yacht was
designed by rules of thumb, a little trial and error and almost no
optimization. Computer power was highly inadequate in the mid-80's and stone
age-like compared to the computation power available today. Think of pac-man
back then and X-Box today. Rob's yacht, though it may have a few good

Yellow???? Ha ha ha ha ha! What are you, a Capt. Neal wannabe?
Yellow is no color for a sailboat. And large spacious cockpits are
not very safe for a blue water cruiser. What if you get pooped.
Will it flood the interior or put the boat so badly out of trim
that she looks like a pig in the wallow?

It's the ideal color! Capt Neal has a fine vessel but its performance cannot
match my fine cruiser even though his boat is also yellow.


And large spacious cockpits are

Not true! Poor drainage is the factor.

What if you get pooped.

Then I'll rest.

My award winning interior would dare not flood! Actually the hatch is locked
down when sailing.

Pigs are not yellow. They are pink.

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.

I must admit that I really like the 35s5.

It is really wasted in the hands of someone who is scared to sail more than
a mile from his slip.

Why "admit"? Nothing wrong with the boat. Some consider it
funny-looking, and it has the quality issues of any
mass-produced item; but it's a pretty good racer-cruiser.

So would a Flying Scot. But then, rememer that Bubbles has
good reasons to be scared of sailing more than a mile from
his slip. It is dangerous for him to be without
air-conditioning or to be out of sight of McDonalds, not to
mention all those well-charted rocks that he manages to hit.

I'll have you know that we sailed nearly 7 miles from our slip today.
I think I saw a dragon.

The 35s5 rocks! Did you look at the website?

Admit?? I guess that I am getting on a bit.

10 years ago I would have died for a 35s5.

Now, as I consider my next vessel, I am thinking about getting a Malo. I
don't *feel* old, but I am beginning to to put comfort before excitement.
Perhaps I am in need of a "mid-life" crisis??

That's true.


I salute your superior intelligence. You are obviously a Grand Master of
stating the bleeding obvious.
