have

|
| These finicky fin keelers around here drive me nuts with their

constant
| harpin' on about a 1/10th of a kt here, a tweak there and it's no

wonder
| they all wait to reach a dock to drink.... I mean how many brews can

you
| afford to lose overboard at those angles of heel without it impacting
your
| annual new suit of sails purchase! Talk about anal retentive sailing!
They
| don't dare take the damned flimsy things into real water and then feel
| like
| everybody wants to hear about every 2 hour sail to nowhere they take.
|
| It sucks... they have every toy on the market they haven't yet

figured
| how
| to use any of them. You know Ya just can't trust any of them... if

it's
| not
| nailed down and they're nearby, they go "French" on ya and will steal
| anything they can walk off with.
|
| If you see a sailboat in trouble... ten to one it's a fin keeler! I've
| heard
| of one going back and forth in front of a clearly marked and lit
entrance
| to a safe easy harbour at night, under power with radar, GPS, 4
compasses,
| cruising guide, chart and tools one could ever require to fix a three
| dimensional, pin point, location..... updated every second!.... and

was
| still totally lost and confused! It's a wonder some of these Fin
Keelers
| can even get out of bed let alone tie their laces!

|
| This is my Nordica 30...

| | Now you're talking about more than just beautiful boats! Give me a
full
| | keel cruiser any day. Cabo Rico can't be beat if you've got the
bucks,
| but
| | an old Alberg with her beautiful traditional lines? Yes!
