It's all over but the exchange of cash. We're about to be the proud owners
of a 1D35 which we'll use for racing in a fleet not far from our home port
on weekends. We'll keep Clover, of course, but much of our sailing will be
racing. Can't make the Wednesday night races, but that's a different series
anyway.

aahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaahahaahahah ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaahahaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The line drawing of the side view makes it look like a Bolger design.

You will be having a lot of fun. Much more fun than RB could have. Fun is
proportional to the inverse PHRF^2.

King Max = Fastest and most fun boat in ASA!!!!!

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahhahahahahaaa!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very cool. The Boobster probably doesn't know what it is however.

We've been wanting a one-design racer for a while, and looked at Mumm 30s
and Melges 20s, but neither boat has a decent OD fleet around here. Both
have to compete in level racing. The 1D35s, however, have a great fleet,
and the owner of our boat is older and retiring from racing, so the rest of
the fleet is glad to keep the boat in their fleet. Either that, or the
belief that we'll be cannon fodder for them, which is probably true for a
while.

Max, the only one eating their heart out is Sloco's, who's
Expressasaurus now looks even more ancient and cheap. The IS35 is
awesome, though not exactly the family boat we own and love now.
We actually had one in our yard for a couple of years. The owner dry
sailed the thing and paid through the nose to launch about 4 or 5
times per season. It's funny that his second boat, sitting in a slip,
was a Stone Horse! I guess he had the same idea you have; a slow, but
pretty cruiser and a seperate high performance beast for racing.
Congrats, dude!

dock?

I did a sea trial today with the owner. We dropped the boat in the lake at
around 3pm, just about the time the wind died. With 5kts. or less, this
boat moves as if its screw is turning. To weather it made a consistent
3kts. and off the wind it nearly equaled what we were measuring as apparent
wind. I thought I was on an iceboat. It will take a while to get used to
the deep keel with bulb (7' 7") as we have lots o' shoal water around here
now. Out on Lake Michigan it appeared to be almost dead calm, but the boat
kept ghosting at about a knot or better. I was mightily impressed. This
particular boat comes with two dozen sails, mostly mains, but some decent
headsails and spinnakers, too. I'm told, however, that I'll have to invest
in new sails if I want to be competitive, as everything in the inventory is
already "blown out." Could have fooled me--they all appear new. Most are
Kevlar and Spectra on a Mylar base, but there are a main and headsail that
are bi-directional carbon and appear to be in perfect shape. We'll no doubt
race with them this summer, at least until we get a feel for the boat and
gain some experience. All instruments are B&G, except for a Tacktick
compass on the mast. We really have nothing else to buy for the boat at
the present time. I'm pumped.

The boat can be raced with three in a pinch if the weather is light. When
the wind picks up what you need most is 'railmeat,' and that's generally not
too hard to locate where this fleet launches.

Sounds good, Max. I'm happy for you. Got any pics?

Not yet. But I should have soon. The owner gave me a few shots of the boat
under sail with the black sails, but my scanner isn't working right now . .

Still can't read can ya. Did my post sound like I was eating my heart
out. I posted "very cool" BTW, I had conversations with the
Annapolis dealer for months when the 1D35 was introduced. I decided
that the boat deserved more commitment than I wanted to give. I could
never make all the races. I enjoy coming home to my country estate
too much.

I wouldn't recommend setting your heart on raking in a lot trophies in
PHRF, at least not in your first season. They are more like sports
boats than conventional keelboats. OTOH if you get a distance race
with a lot of reaching, you got it made.

The PHRF ratings were simply a comparison for Bubbles' sake. We'll race in
the one-design fleet. I haven't had much experience with the boat yet, but
everyone else in the fleet says it is truly a sailor's fleet, the boats
being quite equal. Which means we'll no doubt trail most of the other boats
for a while until we gain some experience. No shiny hardware for quite a
while by my reckoning. As for PHRF racing in these boats, I'm told it's
quite difficult to sail to the rating. I'd be better off sailing Clover in
the PHRF fleet, thanks to her "gift" rating.

Sailing the 1D35 was quite an eye-opener this past weekend. We had about
10-12kts with gusts to 15 from the NW on Sunday, which clocked to SW by mid
afternoon. The boat accelerates as if it weighs nothing. We watched an
experienced crew with more rail meat than we had planing a bit in the
stronger gusts. It generally takes closer to 20kts. to get up on plane, but
they had the boat flying for brief periods. Kewl.

Only five presently, but two more are on the way according to the fleet
