I thought the same, it looks like a small boat for a 35 ftr.



She's certainly no Catalina 36. And a Oceanus of the same size feels
like a whale by comparison. But she has a lot more room than the J34c
or Tartan 34 we looked at. In person and on deck she's actually pretty
roomy and deck and cockpit space is friendly compared to many others.
Also keep in mind that the pic with Arthur on deck is deceptive. Arthur
is taller than me!


I was talking about seeing it in person not the pictures. Just looked
small for a 35+ ftr. I know it's not, but still without the big 35s5
sticker on the side you might guess it's a 30 ftr. I think it's all the
length added with the stern steps making the hull look small. I'm still
trying to figure out what he was measuring yesterday. He was measuring
off the wings on the keel aft at weird angles. Also I thought the prop
shaft was awful light weight. He has a 3 blade fixed prop. Rudder
looked kinda small for a 35+ft too.

The photo you posted is from the International "Little People" Regatta. The
boat in the photo is manned by dwarves!

It's the smallest 35 footer I've ever seen... seriously. the LWL on that
boat must be like what... 25' ??? You must keep a squirty bottle of baby
oil and a pair of shoe horns near the companionway just to get inside the
boat. No wonder you need AC!!! Maybe if you had a larger boat.... you could
get your "main" all the way up.

No wonder Bobsprit can't get his "main" ...all the way up! I bet his boat
would look "full size" to a Japanese tourist.

That's because it was made using French feet!
