You just don't understand!

No comercial value


Whoop-de-doo!

Who cares about commercial value other than some putz who
only cares about boat-hopping. I've already explained how my
Coronado 27 has enabled me to put over 150 large into my
retirement investments.

No speed


My Coronado 27 has the same LWL as your crummy C&C 32.
It's just as fast or faster because it doesn't drag a heavy motor
and prop thru the water.

Poor windward ability


Think again, fatboy! I've actually beat to weather
in the ocean, have you?

Small with little space


As I've frequently pointed out and proved with pictures, the
interior of my boat actually has more room than your so-called
32-footer. I even have a chart table with room to work.

Not attractive


Matter of opinion. Form follows function but I guess you
don't know anything about that.

Dated in every respect.


The sea cares not about date of conception. The sea only
knows Capt. Neal and "Cut the Mustard" are a force to
be reckoned with.

That's your current boat!


And, it's twice the boat you motor around!

mono.
Given the type of sailing that 95% of us do, a Cat can make a lot of sense,
especially when enjoying more than one type of vessel in a lifetime of sailing.
I expect I'll own a Cat in between future boats...but I think my last boats
will be monos.


I agree, when the only sailing you do is within sight of the dock in sheltered
waters a multi-hull will suit just fine.

If I equal Old Thom then I'll be happy! But, I reckon I'll
beat him by at least ten years. I'm just too bad to die young.

SO.......If you value your life stay away from cats, unless your just
a weekend warrior in the local bay or lake with someone looking out
4U.


I think that the fear of Cat's capsizing is a bit like some people's fear of
flying versus road travel. If something goes wrong in a jet, it is likely
to be CATastrophic. However, one is statistically far safer in a jet than
in a car.

Personally, I just don't think that a catamaran feels right (apart from a
Hobie 15).

It's about a 3rd less volume inside than my boat. I've been aboard a Coronado
30.
Why lie about this stuff, neal?

I knew enough to get a boat built better than yours...and faster and it doesn't
look like a yellow pregnant M&M!

Bwahahahahaha!

Yes, I'll race you from George Town, Exuma, Bahamas
to Key West, FL via Habana, Cuba.

Put up or shut up.

Wanna bet 150 large that it isn't?

My boat is paid for from day one and has crossed oceans.

Can you make the same claims for your pretend vessel?

S.Simon - the one and only.

150K. Double your pot. I make the challenge, dummy. Sail to my cruising area in
the Spring and we'll race around Long Island. I'll arrange escrow acounts. I'll
pay you 150K if you win, plus airfare home if you don't want to sail back.
Since I'm a busy man and married, this is reasonable. You have nothing else to
do and have the experience to get here. I don't have the experience to make the
trip to you yet.
My offer is reasonable and the wager is large enough to make it worthwhile.
I'll SINGLEHAND my boat for the race.

Your boat Coronado 27 with whatever sail inventory you have vs. my boat C&C 32
with her CURRENT inventory of sails.

Now...YOU put up or shut up! If you were any kind of a sailor and man you'd
come just for the hell of it!
