Oddly enough that mimics what most people claim when shopping for a
power
boat.

No, it mimics modern design for sailboats, most of which have swim
platforms and aft cabins even with less LOA!!! Busted!!!!


The only "definitive" thing about the 35s5... is that it resembles a
Hunter

That's quite an eye you have there. Most people comment on the French
aspects of the design, even Bob Perry. But then I'm amazed when lubbers
think a Pearson 36 looks like a Pearson 35. Since you bought a vessel
with admittedly bad workmanship, it's no wonder that you can't see the
difference. Oh, and plenty of folks here commented favorably on her
looks. Busssted!

Well Bobsprit... if that was your goal... you failed dismally. You
bought an
off the rack, cheaply built, coastal sailor that looks like every other

chlorox bottle at your dock. The only redeeming factors are it's spray
and
wipe interior.

How did I fail? My boat IS faster than yours. Built to a much higher
standard than yours by a wide margin...and far more expensive in every
way! BUSTED!

Now Bobsprit...... you know that Teak doesn't rot. Unlike the
plastic shelf
liner your boat has for interior decor..... wood can be worked

Anything can be worked, replaced, restored and so on. But I don't want
to miss a whole summer of sailing doing it as YOU DID!!! Busted!!!

It
screams "Cheap" while at the dock and can't be safely sailed in any
waves
over 3 feet due to twisting and flexing of the hull.

You do know that the 35s5 uses solid glass re-enforced with a grid to
create a very rigid structure. No flexing reported ever, no blisters
and no full full restorations required, as on your boat!!! Uber Busted!


While my Nordica has won races..... your boat hasn't. While my boat
handles
ocean states easily... your boat becomes stressed, pounds and sails
wet.

I just got my 35s5, dopey! But a 35s5 just won the Quadrasolo and
Atlantic The Telegram Cup. Real races, Mooron, in open ocean. I can't
even find a Nordica 30 that circumnavigated, but two 35s5's did!!!
Oh...ULTRA BUSTED!!!!
