Ask a good surveyor and he'll tell you that each individual
boat is different from the next, even if from the same mfg..
That is why you get a boat surveyed!



Right, according to mono-brain cell Scotty Potty, poor design and
construction for a given model won't play a hand!!!

BWAHAHAHAHAHHAHA! Scotty you own total trash. Make all the excuses for
it you want. The only thing that sad boat deserves is pitty. Sadly it
got YOU!

BWAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHA!!!

What kind of whacko keeps yelling that he "loves his boat?"

The kind who really needs people to believe it...because he doesn't.

Someone who loves their boat.

Rob:

Every year of sailing for me equals two for you because our season in
Florida is all year long. Furthermore, as a boat broker, you ought to
know that boats in Florida are subjected to considerably more aging
than boats uip north simply due to the heat and greater UV (if you dont
know this, you need a different job). Consequently, I normally see
many more worn out boats than you. My attitude toward boats is like my
attitude toward my truck, I believe in automotive and boat immortality.
An old boat is never beyond repair, its simply a matter of degree.
All the things you described about the boat are simply due to wear and
not to design flaws. The boat may have design flaws but you failed to
mention any. For example, the CDI furler was not standard equipment on
the boat so cannot be mentioned as a design flaw. As far as that goes,
newer CDI furlers have bearings (mine does). If you are going to say a
particular boat design is crap, at least say why instead of
justmentioning normal wear. Your judgement seems impaired.

Total BS. I bought my boat in Florida and the hot season is so rough
that most people sail very little. You wait for winter for the good
sailing, just as we wait for summer and fall.

Absolute hogwash as usual from boobspittle. I also sail the upper
Gulf of Mexico which is the sailing ground referred to. It is
outstanding four season sailing. Most of the sailing is in the
spring, summer, and fall, but boats do not have to come out for the
winter so many sail in the winter, picking their weather. Many
"frostbite regattas" in the winter.

Frank, you just confirmed what I said. It's seasonal there as well.
When I was in Florida three times starting in August, ending in
October, very few boats were sailing...more in October. Brutal hot
weather.
I have a friend living in St. Petersburg who sails a Compac and he says
he sailed more when he lived it CT. It's too hot in Florida too often.

Here in N. FL, there are only 3 months where it is uncomfortable to
sail, July, Aug and Sept. However, most people like me sail anyway but
just a little less than other months. Our boats are in the salt water
all year. That in combo with the increased Uv ages a boat here much
faster than up north. Consequently, I see many more boats than Rob
does that are simply worn out. Even being a boat broker, Rob has very
little real world boating experience (or driving experience)..

No, what you said is that people in Forida don't sail in the summer
because it is brutally hot, discounting the OP's claim to sail year
round. He sails on the upper Gulf of Mexico, out of the St Marks
area. It is nice year round and there is no off season. Picking the
weather in the winter simply means that there are a few days you might
choose not to sail when a strong front comes from the north. Happens
infrequently, and many will still sail those times if they are not in
shallow water marinas where the channels go too shallow at low tide to
get out.

When I was shopping for my last boat, I did so in February in Warwick,
RI. It was sad to see all those dirty boats jammed up on stands in
the yard for the winter. That doesn't happen in Florida or anywhere
on the Gulf.

There is Florida and then there is Florida. It ain't all the same.
But even with that, I have friends in South Florida who sail all
year.
