Why would one not have charts?

Because one is an idiot and/or has never ventured past the praise
except in one's mind.

And a coast pilot would be just as useful anyway.

And how would that be beneficial to the pilot of a praise schooner?

There was a time when this NG was a great source of boating
information.
Plug just about any inquiry into Deja/Google and you'd find great
information from this group. Not anymore. Today...400 posts of
garbage...and from 'contributors' who have very little practical
knowledge of boats AND boating. The knowledgeable sources have gone to
saner climes.

Just look at the posts from the NG's most prolific offenders; Harry
Krause, Doug Kanter, Bert Robbins, Alt_man2, JimH, JohnH, P. Fitz, or
Gene Kearns. Research the archives for ANY relevant subject...these
folks are totally void of useful boating information in the archives.
You will not see this current crop of know nothings being the source
for
anything useful.

Face it, rec.boats is a bad joke to serious boaters...as are those who
continue to contribute to the pollution. Go ahead fellas, make a name
for yourselves...

Skipper

So tell us about your boat and your boating adventures in Derby, Kansas
Skipper. What sort of trips did you take these past years on your boat?

BTW: If I remember right *you* came here just recently after a
prolonged
absence only to spread lies about several members here, most especially
Chuck Gould. This went on for weeks.

You have also not contributed one iota to any discussion about boats
since
you came back. You have, however, dug up some old posts you made years
back
about an adventure to the Sea of Cortez and fighting 20 foot waves in a
24
foot Bayliner. You have also bitched and moaned and started flame wars.

Go back to hiding Skippy. We were better off without you here.

Skipper has become the Jimmy Swagart (sp?) of the NG
