Edition 1 of the new Cruising Outpost is out.

Must be a good mag - one of my photos is in it!!
Something like page 98 or thereabouts. Highly
excited.

BTW, reading BlueWater Cruising last night on
the iPad (Zinio). The review of the Jeanneau
Sun Odyssey 41DS says it has a 400hp motor.
Damn that thing's gotta be quick. Beats the
daylights out of my 56hp Yanmar.
I think maybe nobody checked the data before it
hit the printer.

That would certainly bring the concept of a motor sailer to a whole
new level. :-)

Might as well get a trawler at that point and pick up a fly bridge and
a lot more space as part of the bargain.


There's a picture of it at

Silly thing doesn't even have a propeller... Must be a jet drive :-)


Ugly POS! Here is what a real sailboat's supposed to look like.

The questions is not "what a boat is supposed to look like", but "How
in the world would Willie, the Permanently Moored, Arm-Chair Sailor
have any idea what a proper boat would look like?"

Oh yes! That is right he looks at the pictures in old sailing
magazines that he steals down at the news-stand.
