Default 35s5 in our yard

Can't say that I'd mistake her for a 30 footer, nor has anyone else. I
think she looks 33-34 feet because of the platform and sleek hullform.
No one has ever mentioned a problem with the light weight rudder as far
as I know. The prop shaft is small to save weight. No record of any
problems there either.
I have an idea that the guy is planning to fare those wings. Several
folks have done it with impressive race wins, most recently a 35s5 won
the Quadrosolo of the Atlantic in 2005.
