And? Check your calendar.. It's now almost 2006! Many of the Ericsons
that bean counter might be consdoering WERE built by Pacific Seacraft
And, lots were built before the acquisition. If he were going to
consider an Ericson, one built after that would be more appropriate
for crossing oceans. Instead of screaming at me about not knowing the
facts, why don't you ask him which one he's considering. I stand by my
statement that I was unimpressed with those boats and the guy who
owned one (clearly before the acquisition) wasn't either.
Take your advice from before... stop posting nonsense.
Jon,
You obviously don't know squat about Ericsons. Lots of them have been
sailed all over the world. They are fine for crossing oceans. You
talked to ONE timid sailing couple who felt that sailing in over 20
knots was scary FOR THEM.
You are obviously so full of yourself that you have lost the ability
to read. I already said that just because something can be done,
doesn't mean it should be done. I talked to a couple who claimed to
have a great deal of experience. Sure they could be lying, but the
fact is that the boat in question was not designed for the high winds
of the bay, and certainly not for what one might find outside the
Gate.
Get a life. You're starting to rant.
