Fantastic Sailing again!
while the 35s5 lifts and exceeds hull speed with a wooosh that is
as fun as it is common in a good breeze. LOL............... I haven't seen any 35s5s "woooshing" past the competition in any regattas. |

Moreover, you've claimed many times that your Benny has a low
rating because it attracts better skippers ROFLOL.............. Yea, that's quite a fabrication since there are not that many of those things racing. Oh, and the ones that are suck. Some boats that have been effected by skipper performance over the years are the J24, MUMM30, etc. Classes with lots of boats that participate on the world stage. Maybe in the Matrix the 35s5 is a large class. |

You clearly don't understand the fractional rig at all. Most of
the 35s5's drive comes from the mainsail. She does everything well under her main alone, even besting hull speed with good wind.. Can the rest of you see that the Boob has read too many J-Boat brochures? Boobie even though your designer boat has a fractional rig it doesn't have a huge main that would power that tub around like it's a race boat w/ a fractional rig. Give it up. Beneteaus are designed for the average bloke who is also considering a Catalina or a Hunter. |

"Capt. **** head" wrote in message ups.com... Nauti-babble! Credibility with....a guy who sails a Siedelmann, Nope, you have no credability with me. never have, never will, none, nada, zip, ziltch, zeroe. The NS36 did not respond that way. prolly because he wan't racing you. I'm too old to race and too stupid. The 35s5 is tricky to sail at it's best and hard for the average racer to deal with. It's just not a great well, it just a stepping stone anyways. We passed the NS36 with just our mainsail on Saturday in fairly strong winds, yes, he was anchored at the time, so what. Oh |

Its not really worth spending any time on this. In true booby form, he first told the story with winds "just short of whitecaps" but then after I showed that it would take winds over 20 knots he changes the story to "gusts over 20." Uh, Jeff, do you KNOW when white caps form. Check the BEAUFORT WIND SCALE, which says crested WAVELETS at 17-21 knots. Full whitecaps around 22-27 knots and this is ESTIMATED. I don't know where you learned Beaufort from; here's Bowditch's version: Force 3: Wind Speed 7-10 knots. Sea: Wave height 0.6-1m (2-3 ft); Large wavelets, crests begin to break, scattered whitecaps. Force 4: Wind Speed 11-16 knots. Sea: Wave height 1-1.5 m (3.5-5 ft); Small waves becoming longer, numerous whitecaps. Force 5: Wind Speed 17-21 knots. Sea: Wave height 2-2.5 m (6-8 ft); Moderate waves, taking longer form, many whitecaps, some spray. Force 6: Wind Speed 22-27 knots. Sea: Wave height 3-4 m (9.5-13 ft); Larger waves forming, whitecaps everywhere, more spray. Clearly these are for open ocean, but even in the protected waters where I sailed everyday for 15 years, essentially a pond a mile across, whitecaps meant 18 knots or more, and no whitecaps meant 15 or under. And of course, the local marine weather recording station, 2 miles from your slip, recorded only one 6 minute period on that day where there were gusts over 20 knots and there was a steady 15. The rest of the day was much lighter. In other words, he agreed completely with me and simply changed his story to make sense. We passed the NS36 with main alone. TWICE. So that means the NS had to pass you? Wind conditions we 15-20 knots with some strong gusts above that. Odd, that's not what the local weather said. What time was that again? Steady winds 22-27 knots usually bring whitecaps on protected waters, Jeff. Odd, we get whitecaps in much lower winds here on the Charles, and that's only a mile across. Is the water thicker where you are? Do you sail in Willie Wonka's factory? As for the rating of the NS 36 SD, USSailing lists it as 141 Yep, so Jeff claims the NS36 is right there with a J30, First of all the NS 36 SD and NS 36 are somewhat different. And I stand by my claim, USSailing lists the SD at 141: http://www.ussailing.org/phrf/Tool_%...G%20Report.pdf But again this is besides that point. Assuming the "blue Nonsuch" was not a SD version, Booby is claiming his boat would rate 156 without a jib. Around here, the NS 36 rates 165. Wrong. Here's the latest Base Rating for your area: http://yralis.org/070831-base-rating.pdf The Nonsuch 36 has a base of 156, but picks up some points for cruising gear. The 35s5 rates 129, and the 35s5 W is 132. Oddly, the only 35s5 racing has an adjusted rating is 138 (mainly weight adjustment), so a wing keel version with the same adjustment would race at 141, or only 15 points lower than a stock Nonsuch would. In other words, the Long Island Sound ratings completely support my claim that the 35s5W is not so much faster than a NS 36 that it could pass it without a jib in winds under 20 knots. In addition, they also list a Nonsuch 33 that races in non-spinnaker with a rating of 147, only 9 points higher than the 35s5 in non-spinnaker. Actually, if the benny raced with a 135 jib (instead of a nominal 145-155), it could raise its rating 6 more points. Although they don't show further adjustments, one would have to guess a 100% jib would be worth at least another 6-9 points, bringing it right up there with the Nonsuch 36, and maybe even slower than the Nonsuch 33! And lets not forget that a A/C would raise the rating 3 points! Sorry to bust your little bubble, booby. I'm sure that you pass lots of Nonsuch's that aren't paying any attention to you. When I had a Nonsuch I passed lots of Beneteau's that didn't know they were in a race, either! And that's that. The way we sail by all anchored Nonsuch vessels reflects that rating. Nothing beats Matrix experience, Jeff. I'm in the Matrix while you've been sailing all summer. |

Lord, Sloco is dumb!
Can the rest of you see that the Boob has read too many J-Boat
brochures? Boobie even though your designer boat has a fractional rig it doesn't have a huge main that It doesn't have a large main??? J34 C 256 feet J35 327 feet J105 340 feet Beneteau 35s5 sq. feet...a whopping 371 Sloco sure knows his boats! BWAHAHAHAHAHA...TOTAL SMACKDOWN!!! RB 35s5 NY |

Sorry to bust your little bubble, booby. I'm sure that you pass lots
of Nonsuch's that aren't paying any attention to you. I guess ALL of the boats we pass aren't paying attention. No one can sail them well it would appear. Sorry to burst your bubble, but we pass the Nonsuch boats all the time, so they must ALL be badly sailed according to you. The best part of this, not lost on a few folks for certain, is that hilarious fact that I've had Jeff defending to the poor turtlesque Nonsuch against my 35s5 sailing WITHOUT THE JIB!!!!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHHAHA! AMAZING BUT TRUE! RB 35s5 NY |
