Boat Forum / Sailing / June 2006

For the 3rd time this week, we're off for a nice sail!!! Tonight we're
working on getting Thomas to sleep on board. He's so well balanced on
board, it's amazing! 22 months and he can easily get up and down the
steep steps. Underway, he's really sure of himself! But he's pretty

This is my honest review of the 35s5, a work still in progress for our
new 35s5 website soon to be up and running. Comments welcome...I expect
some useful ones from YOU, Bob C. Most others will just troll.
 The Beneteau First Series 35s5  1988-1994   430 hulls produced

The self proclaimed photographic expert and hobbiest  has ZERO pictures
sailing.
Spiders on a sink yeah....but thats it folks.
Big Suprise?

What a dangerious item. Are all 35s5 so lame?
It's in the way, and the base is molded into that thin hull. It's worse

Bobsprit's once mighty steamroller has now turned into a Kia mini-van.
Instead of rolling over this group and flattening all in his way, he now
worries about knocking the wheels out of alignment when hitting a house cat
and airbags fully deploying in his face!

The Coastguard are getting reluctant to take old flares, chandlers on the

where does one legally get rid of out of date flares ...

I  found the PHRF for your boat and the specs. Since we all know what
they are, I'll leave to you to post them.
But let's get real. Your boat is practically a motorsailor. I don't
care if it won some races. So can a Cape Dory 25. In the real world

Some of my students struggling with light air... Fortunately, the weather
has cooled off, so today should be a bit better. Notice the kayak drifting
faster than they're sailing... :-)

Are you thinking of buying NASA marine equipment? Read this, its just

I apologise if I have transgressed any forum rules in posting this, but it
is here for two reasons:

A sailor slowly raises and then lowers a white flag. Why?

In past years Sloco has complained about the Stern of the C&C 32, which
was really quite ordinary. Now I own a far sexier boat with a nice
scoop and swim platform.
But the real reason Sloco made such comments is THIS:
