Nutsy,

Where did you find a sister ship with the Step Ladder on the Stern?

I simply made a factual statement regarding the steps undertaken when I
purchased my particular vessel Bob... I did not "advocate" anything. You are
taking undue liberties with my posting.

I believe the difference here is that while I have been raised around boats,
since I was 5 years old, you are in effect a "Johnny come lately" to the
scene. I have no doubt that you can quote verbatim what you've read on the
subject and profess to numerous day sails in protected waters which never
truly test a boat.... I can calmly assess a vessel based on years of
experience, sea time, foul weather behaviour as well as apprenticeship to
master craftsmen and boat builders....

I've repaired and rebuilt more vessels than you have sailed on. I started
commercial fishing at 13 years old and learned early from my betters. It's
an option you should seriously consider Bob!

Even the most cared for boat can have a flaw you will not find unless
you put her thru the paces.


But if you can't put her through her paces, then sailing a sistership is a good
idea followed by a very careful survey.
Joe, you made NO points. I did everything correctly and my boat, which has NO
problems proves it. You can cry and troll like an ass, but you'll still be
wrong. Here's the proof and the pudding....

Dry boat, bone dry decks and no engine or electrical problems after two
seasons. You can argue with success, Joe, but you'll just keep losing!

RB

a vessel for obvious problems.

Yes and you will never find odvious problems on a sistership dummy.


What an idiot. Obvious problems will be found if you have a clue about boats,
which you clearly don't!

RB

This is the essence of one design building. So sailing a
sistership(s) will generally bear out sailing characteristics.

Halfwit


Joe, please explain how MY C&C 32, (following a proper survey) might still have
exhibited dissapointing sailing characteristics as compared to the two other
C&C 32s I'd sailed. Having sailed aboard 4 of them now, I'm really curious to
hear this one!

RB

Alien, her history was known to me and she was thoroughly gone over. In the
end

Not if you did not do a sea trial. How did you stress her on the
blocks?


Stress test her how and where, dumbass? On the LIS? What a dope!

RB

Nutsy,

Where did you find a sister ship with the Step Ladder on the Stern?

Good point! My boat also has better gear than the others. I wonder how much
performance difference all of my self tailing winches make...

RB

Just as I expected. More than backpedaling, Mooron actually sails backward.

Yes... I love looking at the wake ! I never backpedal going downhill.

I look out for myself... the rest of you are on your own.

My advise would be to make friends and allys prior to crossing swords with
me!

[How's that for a dash of blatant arrogance? :-P]


Pah!

You are far too *nice* to be arrogant!

I also suspect that you are a little bit afraid to upset the big hitters.

You never insult Oz, Nav or Wally. Also, I'm a bit suspicious about your
lily livered attacks on the resident fattie from New York!

In fact, I can't remember when you last delivered a good insult to me......
Chicken!
