Offensive Post
First, I apologize for my part in continuing the offensiveness. It was
perhaps a mistake to treat "JAXAshby" and "BinaryBill" as deserving any reply, for reasons that they make obvious. (Bob Whitaker)wrote: Most newsgroups have many long standing feuds, and "rec.boats.cruising" appears to be no exception. Such a shame. Brian Whatcott wrote: My problem arises because I had access to arpanet-style newsgroups fifteen years ago, for a spell. People mis-spoke then, as now. But when they did, you can be sure that people spoke up and let their distaste be known. So the level stayed civilized. I don't feel the need to invite guttermouths into my study even now, but when they arrive, I believe I would be well-served as would you, to let them know how I feel about their stuff. The problem here is that these two clowns (if indeed they are two different people, my suspicion is that they are both sock puppets) are more entertained by outraged & offended reactions. My intention was to try and pretend it was a serious discussion and maybe some good would come of it all. Best thing to do with trolls is ignore them though. DSK |

Best 34 foot blue water cruiser... Jax warning
dougies? you do not now remember you claimed you trailered your Nimrod 19 275
miles (you were specific as to miles) and that you considered this a feat of derring do? tipping the cups last night, were you? yes, dougies said that. It's as true as the rest of Jax's posts.... ie only a fantasy... Ask Jax about the scary rocks around Cape Hattaras, or submarines attacking Seattle. DSK |

Damn, talk about a tempest in a teapot.
From the vitriolic exchange that has been flying back and forth the last couple of days, I thought it was gonna be something **UGLY**. It's certainly not something I'd put on my boat, as it just looks too fake (something about the wide open cabin directly underneath it), but it's hardly anything worth wasting band width or raising your blood pressure over. You guys need to go play with your respective boats. Are they still covered in snow where you live or something? bb wrote: BTW here are some pictures http://community.webshots.com/album/63279185YQtgSA Fresh Breezes- Doug King -- Dan Best - (707) 431-1662, Healdsburg, CA 95448 B-2/75 1977-1979 Tayana 37 #192, "Tricia Jean" http://rangerbest.home.comcast.net/TriciaJean.JPG |

It's a Sundowner 36. I think the same designer also worked on the AMC
pacer when he wasn't moonlighting for Fisher Price. The Sundowner line, (30, 32, 36), was drawn by Jack Sarin. Here's a link where you can view some of the other AMC Pacers he has been turning out......... http://www.jacksarin.com/sarin/index.html |

That Guardian 85 is a very cool looking boat. I wonder what it's fuel consumption is? It is interesting that he has done so many gov't service and commercial vessels... much more demanding IMHO Doug King |

This makes him an expert... as much as all the rest of his non-real-life crapola. BTW here are some pictures http://community.webshots.com/album/63279185YQtgSA Fresh Breezes- Doug King |

I notice he's so embarrassed by his "Sundowner designs" that he is
careful not to mention them, even briefly, on his website. Very smart on his part. T The Sundowners were designed over 20 years ago. The site features his more recent work. The Sundowner pilot house looks like a late 1950's California fast food joint. All it needs is a little neon framing the windows, and maybe some golden arches for the deluxe model. Would you like some fries with that? LOL! Thank Providence I'm only cursed with a morphodite boat. A person may not always own what he currently owns, but he will always be what he is. You did say, "Supersize me?" :-) |
