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.

Hey, Jim, I love it how you are such a little ****ing cry baby!!!! Care
to wager that I'm not Kevin? Grow up.

If you're not Kevin, then why do you reply to all messages in which Jim
refers to Kevin? Are you friends with Kevin?


Because he directly refers to MY POSTS. Damn, are you people really
that stupid? When you reply directly to a certain person, then you are
replying TO THAT PERSON.
Friends, not really. I do know him.


In this case, Jim was responding to John's post. So why did you reply to
Jim's message that referred to Kevin?


It's called an implication, which I'm sure is way over your head.

Hehe!! I KNEW it was way over your head!!!!!!

im·pli·ca·tion ( P ) Pronunciation Key (mpl-kshn)
n.
The act of implicating or the condition of being implicated.
The act of implying or the condition of being implied.
Something that is implied, especially:
An indirect indication; a suggestion.
An implied meaning; implicit significance.

Root word:
im·ply ( P ) Pronunciation Key (m-pl)

To involve by logical necessity; entail: Life implies growth and death.

To express or indicate indirectly: His tone implied disapproval. See

(see the second meaning.)

Now would you think that it was IMPLIED that he was meaning ME, after
idiotically calling me Kevin at least a few thousand times????

Furthermore, do you only reply to posts that are 100% directed at YOU?
If so, what are you doing in this thread?
An inference. See Usage Note at infer.

One has nothing to do with the other.

Bluewater boaters routinely see water on deck. That's why scuppers
are
built into bulwarks.

This boat is relatively shallow draft, moderate freeboard, and
fairly
light displacement.
Nobody would recommend this boat for offshore use under "small craft
warning" weather conditions, certainly including the manufacturer.
Wouldn't matter if it had a transom 4 feet high.

A following sea would not routinely flood the cockpit. Anybody who
would panic if a strong following sea broke across the swim platform
and momentarily put a half inch of water into the cockpit would be
well
advised to choose a heading that doesn't expose the stern directly
to a
following sea.

(I could probably dig up a link to an entire series of racing
sailboats
built with no transom at all........)

No one said anything about open bluewater or offshore use Chuck. You
said the boat was built only for calm sheltered water as the boat
will take on water in rough or following seas. A shame a 32 footer
is not built to take on some moderately rough conditions. And that
was my point because in your review you never said anything about
these deficiencies. ;-)
The post by Chuck Gould was an well written article for a boating
magazine. As we have discussed many many times these "info-articles"
are not reviews and don't pretend to be critical boating reviews.



If he chooses to post the advertisements here then he should be willing
to accept criticism on them.

And a review of a boat without bringing out it's flaws is nothing more
than an advertisement. ;-)

The points I brought up are valid and the result of a poorly engineered
boat. I cannot imagine a 32 footer not capable of taking on open water
and 5 foot seas.


The points you mentioned are ones that worthy of any boating discussion,
the fact that you prefered to make it a discussion on his review is a
waste of bandwidth. To anyone reading your posts it appears that you
are begging for another fight with Chuck. If Chuck tells you "win" can
you let this one go.


I am not begging for a fight. He asked for a discussion and I took him
up on it. If the weaknesses of a boat design cannot be discussed like
adults without getting personal or thinking a party is trying to start a
fight then that is a problem you will have to work out for yourself.

BTW: Like others, I believe Chuck's info-mercials are well written. ;-)


32' and not a blue water boat is not a design defect. There are lots of
large boats that are not designed for the North Atlantic in winter, or the
North Pacific all year. They are designed for regional boating.



I agree and never said otherwise. But 32 feet and not able to take 5 foot
swells or 2 foot following seas without flooding the cockpit is a design
defect. ;-)


Again, reading comprehension...

'Not able to take' and 'not intended for' are two different things. Can you
not see the difference, or do you feel you must put words in Chuck's mouth
to support whatever you're attempting to say?

Did I miss something? Where did Chuck say the boat couldn't take 5 foot
seas? Hell, my 21'er can take 5 foot seas.

Yes John you missed something.

You misread, then misquote, than argue against your misquotes as though
they were stated by the OP.

No I didn't. Here is exactly what Chuck wrote:

"Tha said, the most natual fit for this boat would be somewhatsheltered
waters. I don't think it was really intended to slop around in 30-kt
winds and 5-foot chop. You would want to be off the water if you owned
this boat- as well as most other boats, when something nasty like that
kicks up."



Read it twice......make that three times so you fully understand. OK?



Anne Arundel County Schools are also facing a reading comprehension
problem.

Now what is that saying about people in glass houses? ;-)


Read closely. "Not intended for..." and "not capable of" are two different
things. My pickup is 'not intended for' carrying a 3/4 ton load. It most
certainly is *capable* of doing so.


Mince the words all you want John. He said you want to be off the water
with this boat if there are 5 footers. To me that mean it is not capable of
handling it. If it were, why get off?

Got it now?



Reading comprehension is a big problem in Prince George's County Schools
also, especially at the 4th grade level.



Perhaps you need to take some refreshers on your days off.



Jim, *you* are the one who is mincing Chuck's words to fit your argument.
It's dishonest.

One has nothing to do with the other.

Bluewater boaters routinely see water on deck. That's why scuppers are
built into bulwarks.

This boat is relatively shallow draft, moderate freeboard, and fairly
light displacement.
Nobody would recommend this boat for offshore use under "small craft
warning" weather conditions, certainly including the manufacturer.
Wouldn't matter if it had a transom 4 feet high.

A following sea would not routinely flood the cockpit. Anybody who
would panic if a strong following sea broke across the swim platform
and momentarily put a half inch of water into the cockpit would be
well
advised to choose a heading that doesn't expose the stern directly to
a
following sea.

(I could probably dig up a link to an entire series of racing
sailboats
built with no transom at all........)

No one said anything about open bluewater or offshore use Chuck. You
said the boat was built only for calm sheltered water as the boat will
take on water in rough or following seas. A shame a 32 footer is not
built to take on some moderately rough conditions. And that was my
point
because in your review you never said anything about these
deficiencies.
;-)
The post by Chuck Gould was an well written article for a boating
magazine. As we have discussed many many times these "info-articles"
are
not reviews and don't pretend to be critical boating reviews.


If he chooses to post the advertisements here then he should be willing to
accept criticism on them.

And a review of a boat without bringing out it's flaws is nothing more
than
an advertisement. ;-)

The points I brought up are valid and the result of a poorly engineered
boat. I cannot imagine a 32 footer not capable of taking on open water
and
5 foot seas.

Did I miss something? Where did Chuck say the boat couldn't take 5 foot
seas? Hell, my 21'er can take 5 foot seas.
Yes John you missed something.
You misread, then misquote, than argue against your misquotes as though
they were stated by the OP.
No I didn't. Here is exactly what Chuck wrote:

"Tha said, the most natual fit for this boat would be somewhatsheltered
waters. I don't think it was really intended to slop around in 30-kt
winds and 5-foot chop. You would want to be off the water if you owned
this boat- as well as most other boats, when something nasty like that
kicks up."



Read it twice......make that three times so you fully understand. OK?


Anne Arundel County Schools are also facing a reading comprehension
problem.
Now what is that saying about people in glass houses? ;-)


Read closely. "Not intended for..." and "not capable of" are two different
things. My pickup is 'not intended for' carrying a 3/4 ton load. It most
certainly is *capable* of doing so.

Reading comprehension is a big problem in Prince George's County Schools
also, especially at the 4th grade level.

What's with these screwball school system references?


Many Maryland counties are having big problems achieving their desired
improvement levels. Perhaps you missed the news a couple weeks ago.
