Doug now claims he bought a sailboat in Florida and it's much nicer and
more expensive than our 35s5. Hey, if that's true, GREAT! It would be
awesome if Doug bought himself what he wanted instead of that
powerboat.
So? Let's hear all about her, Doug. Did you get a cruiser or racer?
Little of both as we did?

The truth is out there. In some cases, WAY out there.

In any case, it's great news and I'm happy for you!

A LITTLE OF BOTH is right.

Can't find a place to stow a 6 pack of beer while cruising, in other
words a cruiser without any room for needed supplies to cruise, And a
racer with a GET THIS has a MAX 7.3 knot hull speed
.......................Bwahahahahahahahahahah that aint racing thats
SLOW.

According to the Beneteau group, owners have made 14 knots on 35s5's
and the newer 36.7 has gone even faster. Your boat is incapable of
surfing in such conditions and would rarely exceed hull speed as the
35s5 can do with ease. I like your boat, Joe. She's a nice home, sure
and steady. But performance is not what she's about.

That seems possible but it's not going to happen in any
conditions *you* will ever sail in.

and the newer 36.7 has gone even faster.

Which is relevent how, exactly?
It's a totlly different boat with a totally different
design, bigger & more powerful and about 3X the cost of the
boat you claim to have bought.

Yo pinhead, if you're going to post a link inder the subject
heading "Doug's Sailboat" then you should include a link to
my sailboat. Here, I'll do it for you

How is that? On several occasions we had the C&C 32 over 10 knots on a
reach in 25-35 knots or air coming off of small swells. Wasn't hard at
all and the 35s5 will go faster.

and the newer 36.7 has gone even faster.

Seriously? Okay, well I'm trying to explain to Joe that his metal
motorsailor is not likely to even match the ultimate speeds that racer
cruisers are able to routinely achieve. This past summer I sailed a J35
and we blasted beyond 11 and 12 knots on numerous occasions. It aint
gonna happen on Joe's boat often, if ever.
Do you agree?

That's the sailboat you bought in Florida that costs more than mine?
Doug, you were ripped off!

That depends on how you define preformance.

In 30 kt winds and 20 ft seas RedCloud will out preform any boat here.

Actually, Joe, you're wrong about that. Even Sloco's Depress 30 would
outsail you in those conditions, though he'd work hard. In survival
conditions she'd be a more comfortable boat.
