Off course, a "well sailed" NS would beat your boat any day.


Yeah, I guess none of the ones we see and pass are "well sailed." In
fact I bet you're the only old fart who can sail one well!!!!
Next to Doug, no one is as full of himself as you, Jeff. Sadly, it's a
glass half empty.


Your jealously is showing showing again. I make one little comment
that a jib appeared over trimmed, and you end up making an ass of
yourself again in this pathetic display.


The Nonsuch.



Well that says it all. Like it or not, Jeff, the Nonsuch is regarded
as an "old persons" boat. In fact the two I sold were ownd by guys too
old to keep them and they were both bought by retired guys. The one we
see often is sailed by an old couple and they bought it from a guy
who's now DEAD! Most young folks seek a bit more fun, Jeff.


At the time I bought the Nonsuch I was also racing Lasers. How much
dinghy racing have you been doing lately, Bob?


I do??? In your imagination, perhaps.


Nope. Jeff, you've brought up the value of your boat again and again.


That's a rather bold lie. I don't recall ever mentioning the price,
though if someone asked I might have answered. Or I might have
commented on the rough market values of various classes of boats. In
general, I don't comment on the price of any specific person's boat.

You, on the other hand, are totally obsessed by your perception of the
value of each person's boat. You imagine because you see the world
like that everyone else must, and so you accuse me of it. Its
cowardly lies like this that totally destroy your credibility on any
topic.


It's really sad. I clearly do it to play with people but I think it's
clear that it REALLY matters to you. That's just sad at your age!


Show me a post where I ever discussed the value of someone's boat.

You might as well just admit you're a cowardly liar.



What do you mean? Do you really think I care at all? You can buy
a
Swan or an Oyster or whatever. Of course, you'll still be a
terrified, seasick little boy who's afraid to leave the Sound.

You do realize that the last part of the above post makes it beyond
obvious thay you care deeply. I'm a troubled fellow.


Care? Not at all. Just perceptive.


And sure that with your new boat
you'll finally do that "Sail to Nowhere"


Nah. But we're going to block island in a few weeks. That should be
fun.


An other one of your claims. One of these days, you might even follow
through on one.

But I doubt it.
