Yeh, 'blinders.' I guess two typos make a right?


Not sooooo. Anyone can look at a quality
boat with beefy fittings and see that allthe Pacific seacraft crealock
designed boats far out class a C&C.

Well, FWIW I have bilgecrawled a number of Pacific Seacraft boats, and some of them are the same
crapola that Hunter & Catalina etc etc pump out, only with a higher price tag.

BTW Crealock did not design all the Pacific Seacraft line. And he designed a number of swing keel
trailerables & fin keel racer-cruisers in his day. You seem to have gotten the idea that his name on
the sales brochure automatically bestows a boat with some sort of magic aura of invincibility. This is
a dangerous attitude, especially at sea. If you have really done the sailing you claim, you probably
already know this even if you don't want to hear it in public.


Any blind person can knock on the
sides of both boats and understand that the Craelock thump like a
brick, and the C&C thump like a thin skinned drum.

Which C&C? Every last one, including the new ones, that I have ever looked at was pretty well built.
Not an Oyster or Swan, but strongly & properly built.



You just need to get up the
guts to go where the Crealock are designed to go.

It doesn't take "guts," it takes either a maladapted personality or angry creditors.

Have to dis-agree with you Doug. From your other post I can see why
you might find ocean cruising not to your liking.

Actually, I am indifferent to crossing oceans in boats. It's boring, not my idea of fun. I like
sailing and enjoy visiting distant locations; sailing would be an OK way to get there. To sail across
an ocean just to sail across it is kinda dumb... but then so is climbing a mountain 'because it's
there'... under the right circumstances, either can be an honorable feat. Do you deliberately sail
through storms, too, just to prove how macho & tough you are?



I think anyone that
hasent been deep sea are the ones with maladapted personalitys.

Possibly. But to seek out long term solitude is by definition anti social. Since you've never
mentioned crew I assume you singlehand.


.... Most maladapted personalitys
tend to stay in sight of land safe and sound.

No, most maladapted personalities tend to be loners, and tend to insist they're right despite obvious
evidence to the contrary. Many are of fairly high intelligence yet have a hard time adapting to new
facts and new surroundings.

Does this remind you of somebody?
