Default Beneteau 38s5


First off: Bubbles--this is not intended to be a bashing session aimed
at
your boat. It is only a personal observation. Sorry if it contradicts
your
personal beliefs.


It's not the same boat of course. I find it hard to believe you can't
stand up. Could the 38s5 be more of a all out racer than the 35s5? My
line cover is solid as a rock and shows no crazing. For that matter
none of the glasswork shows crazing.
Headroom on my boat is just shy for my 6'3, by a fraction. Everyone
else can stand up. The aft cabin is under the cockpit, just like every
other aft cabin boat in her class that has a big bed. Could the 38s5 be
smaller?
Well, it aint my boat and pics of my vessel and interior shows that
I've been honest across the board.
I do agree about the floorboards. But in so many other ways she trumps
the so called quality of Tartan's, Sabres and C&Cs we looked at.
