Default A Cockpit Wager

or perhaps:

That's a gorgeous boat.... oughta be, for the money!



Talk about pearls before swine!



Yes. I thought of the Hinckley 42DS first, but their web site ****ed me
off.


You mean their new(ish) Morris retro-classic, that looks
like an old J-class AmCup yacht?



You have exquisite taste in sailboats there Jeff.


Actually, I think the Bruckmann is a bit over the top. I mean, half a
mil for a daysailer is rather extreme.


Yeah, but it's intended for folks who don't have to ask the
price.


... If you really want to show you
have class and don't care about the expense, you should have one of these:

The expense there is in rebuilding it from ballast up,
installing new electrical & plumbing systems, and having a
year-round staff to keep it looking sharp. Not quite as much
show off value; although driving up to the sailing club in a
vintage Rolls driven by a chauffer wearing white gloves adds
the right touch.

Actually, I think the classy touch is to have & campaign an
S-boat... you'd need 2 of them, of course... that way you
could keep at least one of them in sailing condition most of
the season, with full-time help of course.
