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. 1D35 PHRF: 36 C&C 99 PHRF: 99 Adios, Bubbles. Max |

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!!!!!

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 |

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! RB 35s5 NY |

I guess he had the same idea you have; a slow, but pretty cruiser and a seperate high performance beast for racing. Congrats, dude! 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. Max |

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.
