bob, jeffies started his sailing career with a boat specifically advertised to
old men, and then regressed to training wheels. bob, don't expect much from jeffies. as a kid he was chosen last and then put in rf, batting 10th. today, his wife balances his checkbook for him..Well, Jeff, anyone can say having two of everything is an advantage because of the redundancy factor, but then why not have 3 of everything. This is exactly the sort of spin-like answer you get from multi-hullers, and the reason for the original post. All talk from multi-hullers is defensive of their choice (or, in your case, ad hominem attacks - you've been on ASA too long), rather than an honest discussion of the pro's and con's. Even Chris White's book is pure advocacy. It's too bad, because some folks out there are just looking for the straight poop. Happy sailing to you. |

Right Jaxie, those 420's I raced in college are really an "old man's boat".

You stated "started his sailing career." In fact, the boats I learned to sail
on, at age 11, were Cape Cod Mercury's and Oday DaySailors. Within 10 years I had sailed on a wide variety of boats - that's what happens when you race on the intercollegiate circuit. I even had a ride on the then America's Cup defender, Intrepid. So 20 years later, after sailing and owning a variety of boats, I chose a Nonsuch 30 as a coastal cruiser, to take friends out for short trips and cruise the New England coast with my family. Many knowledgeable sailors considered this the ideal boat for the purpose. We certainly loved it. So tell us jaxie ... What kind of boat do you have? In all you ranting you've never talked about actually being in command of a boat. You never talked about taking your family, or any other guest out on any boat. What a sad, pathetic life you must lead, jaxie. "JAXAshby" wrote in message ... jeffies? you cruised with your family on a 420? my statement stands. you owned a boat you stated you cruised with your family that is and always has been advertised as an old man's boat, before you regressed to training wheels.

okay, change that to "started his adult sailing career" on an old mans boat.

I chose a
Nonsuch 30 as a coastal cruiser, to take friends out for short trips and cruise the New England coast with my family. Many knowledgeable sailors considered this the ideal boat for the purpose. We certainly loved it. a boat that is now and always has been advertised as an "old man's boat". That is the boat you traded in for training wheels. |
