35s5 in our yard
Kinda beat up..but thats why it's in the yard I guess.
I never noticed a small round port in your hull where the s is in the 35s5 emblem Rob. Is yours the same way? The owner just bought her, and was doing some weird measuring off the wing keel. I think he was a swede and couldnt understand him much. He will be a few days, maybe when he's not so busy I'll ask for a quick tour. It's named the Promise II. Joe |

I never noticed a small round port in your hull where the s is in the 35s5 emblem Rob. Is yours the same way? Yep...I have the same little fixed ports, one in the head below the opening port and one in the aft stateroom also below the opening port. They let in a bit of light, but do little else. You can see the port easily here as the 35s5 decal was removed. http://hometown.aol.com/bobsprit/images/spflorida.jpg Promise II was a 1992 boat I checked out through some friends. Her asking price was really high and she was not in the same great shape as my boat. She also has the white cushions which are a lot of trouble of course. RB 35s5 NY |

Ahh....OK...Looks better without the decal IMO. http://hometown.aol.com/bobsprit/images/spflorida.jpg Promise II was a 1992 boat I checked out through some friends. Her asking price was really high and she was not in the same great shape as my boat. She was put away wet for sure, the sails look tired, has a few nasty scratches thru the gel, canvas is trashed, crappy wipping on the wheel, and needs a major polishing has the haze look all over. Yours looks 10X better. But thats why he has it in the yard right....Maybe... She also has the white cushions which are a lot of trouble of course. Did not go aboard yet. Joe RB 35s5 NY |

That has to be the smallest 35 footer I have ever seen.

Nice photo of you in the companionway, Bubbles. That old fellow was aboard Tenacious during the Fastnet disaster. His study had photos of him at the helm of boats most of us can only dream of sailing, from giant tri-hulls to Pywacket herself. Windward 1st was his second 35s5, but bad knees made him sell it to me. He still races his Tartan Ten which is a boat he can negotiate due to flush decks. He was supposed to visit us over the summer but his health is not good at present. After working hard and now working with local charities, all he wants in the world is to keep sailing. Getting old really sucks. RB 35s5 NY |

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! http://www.comunidaddebarcos.com/fotos/ACF8029.jpg RB 35s5 NY |
