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

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.

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

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.
