Frank, you just confirmed what I said.


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.

Boats kept in warm water yr round suffer far more corrossion than up
north. They suffer far, far more marine growth, they suffer so much
more rot and damage due to mold that ther is really no comparison
between boats in a tropical climate and those up north. My guess is
that boats in Florida age about 3x as fast as boats up north. Around
here, teak oil would have to be applied every two weeks to work. All
the standard wood sealers are a waste of time as they last so short a
time.
The point is that Rob appears to be unable to tell the diff between
design flaws and wear so I'd say that he is unqualified to be a boat
broker.

He is unqualified to be in the human race!

Amen!

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.


There it is again. "rough" This time, it's the season that's too
"rough" for you.
You've never actually been to Florida, have you? If you weren't so
flabbily overweight (and if you had visited Florida), you'd notice
that people *DO* sail in Florida all 12 months of the year. But only
when it isn't too "rough". What a pussy.
And what the **** is "rough" weather or "rough" seasons?

By rough I meant NO AIR at all. Races have been called because of it.
I was in Florida to first see the boat and sail it, then again to let
Suzanne see it, then again to have final sail and close.

Here's Heart of Gold (Previously Windward First) with her PO, about 2
months before we bought her in October. This is a municipal marina
about 20 minutes from Salt Creek.

Yes, there is wind in Florida in the summer........if you know when and
what type. In the area he bought his boat Tampa Bay), there are
frequently afternoon sea breezes from the west but they also bring
nasty thunderstorms off the Gulf. You can sail in them but you have to
know when to stop just before the storms.
Around here (Tallahassee), Palm trees are not common but we plant them
just to make silly tourists know they are in FL. Rob truly thinks plam
trees mean Florida.......

Rough: (ala Bubbles) 1) wind in excess of 5 kts., 2) waves in excess of 1',
3) any form of precipitation, 4) attempting to sail without a few extra crew
who know how to sail since Bubbles doesn't, 5) not having a TV cable and
power cable long enough to provided uninterrupted soap operas.

See above. Bubbles doesn't buy boats for their sailing characteristics--he
buys them for their purported bragging rights, dockside comfort, and a BIG
swim platform.

Yeah, if they exceed the 90 minute limit. Duh.

Sorry...you made all that up. When we have poor sailing weather with
little wind and lots of heat, we say "it's rough out there!"

It also means abrasive, nasty and quite a few other things. Pass
remedial English and get back to us. I'm off to my boat!

Oh boy. How about when everyone is just sitting, moving

the current

The smart ones will anchor.
