I own a '96 Doral 36 Express Cruiser. My dream boat would be a 50" Trawler. I'd go with a Gunboat 66 at $4.5M. Do you live in the Mideast? West Coast... Northern Cal. Why? It was a joke about owning a Gunboat. By the Mideast I was thinking about Beirut. Ahh... ok. I always confuse the mideast with the midwest. lol Ohio is the mideast. Indiana is the midwest. Seriously, though, when I first went out to Kansas and saw some (not many) students checking their rifles and shotguns into the dorm's safe and I noticed hitching posts in front of several classroom buildings, I thought..."Hey, I'm out west." But any number of new friends corrected me by stating that Kansas, at least that part of it, was "midwest." The west did not begin, they claimed, until Colorado. I really think the divisions are the Smokey's and the Rocky's Whatever it is, it is. BTW, those hitching posts were used. If you were a student, you could not drive on the main campus road during class hours, but...you could ride your horse onto campus and tie it up to one of the hitching posts. A few students did that. I figured they were townies who lived nearby. Recently looked at a campus map on google, and was saddened to see that the house I lived in my junior and senior years was gone, along with the beer/burger joint next door to it. Hell, they paved over paradise and put up a parking garage. Literally. So you attended Yale for your post-graduate degree(s)? |

Albin 33 trawler with a Caribe C12 dinghy. Bought a new 2 stroke 15 hp Yamaha for it. Perfect combo, even if the dinghy is a bit large. I'm perfectly happy with what I have. If I were going cruising and needed a sail boat, I'd buy something from a Beneteau Figero to a more comfortable Beneteau of about the same size. The Beneteau Figero was built as a single handed long distance boat. Here's a video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_ExqQ80T5g The chute didn't work, but the guy deserves an award for trying. This is the boat that that Abby Sunderland should have bought. Could have avoided a lot of work and expense and had something she might have managed. |
