If a following sea broke across the swimstep there could be some
flooding of the cockpit, but not as much as you might expect. ( There
is a huge, recessed deck drain just outside the companionway door). The
sunpad and locker substitutes for a traditional transom, and the
passages to port and starboard are partially protected with
what would be, in effect, "reduced flow" transom doors. If the
following sea wasn't breaking, the boat would just ride up and over the
top like any other and the increased pressure and effect on steering
would all be taking place below the waterline.

Tha said, the most natual fit for this boat would be somewhat sheltered
waters. I don't think it was really intended to slop around in 30-kt
winds and 5-foot chop.


A shame that a 32 footer can handle only sheltered water because the cockpit
will flood, especially in following seas. I can't seem to find where you
mention that in your review though. ;-)


Do you never tire of it?

John, it is truly a shame that your *contribution* to the NG has sunk to
Kevin's level.

Jim, you don't know a damned thing about the capabilities of that boat!
You're just on another of your monthly period bipolar rants. You act
like you want harmony in the newgroup and do NOTHING but try and pick
petty childish fights.
