So tell us Neal, how many crossings do you have? Has a Coronado 27 ever survived a
passage?


There are numerous Coronado 27's that have circumnavigated.
"Cut the Mustard" will be among them one of these days.

Of the 1,397 Coronado 27's that were built 1,386 still sail. Only
11 have sunk, burned or are otherwise unaccounted for. This is
a far better record than any old Prout or any brand of multi-hull
for that matter.

Which reminds me, did GWB ever give you those tax cuts he promised?
I see he wants a whole heap of cash to try and sort out the mess he
made in Iraq....another installment?

I welcome you to crackerbox palace,We've been expecting you.

Unlike you, I know what I like in a cruising sailboat.

No comercial value
No speed
Poor windward ability
Small with little space
Not attractive
Dated in every respect.
That's your current boat!

A Catalina 30 could be transformed into a bluewater vessel and afford you far
better comfort. But then if you were seeking a blue water boat of merit, age
and class you'd be aboard an Alberg 35 at the very least. They're not
expensive.

Yes - it was great! Thanks to Shrub I hardly pay any taxes at all! I'll bet Neal pays
even more than I do!

This is a LIE. And a dangerous one. There is a record of a Catalina 27 doing
this after MAJOR mods.
Capt Neal and his Coronado 27 will NEVER circumnavigate, unless it's on
containerships!

Look at the capsize ratio charts for your average cruising cat.

What do you see? An angle of fifty or sixty degrees or less.
Bwahahahahahha!

You idiot!
Do you have any idea what it takes to get a cruising cat to those
angles?

jeff, why waste time kicking the poor old fool. How would he know anything
about cruising cats? The poor guy snapped his boom in half, then glued it back
together, trippling it's weight! This was his solution to simply finding a
properly made boom.
The worst thing I've heard about Cruising cats is from a friend who's delivered
a few over the Atlantic. He says their motion in poor conditions can be very
hard on the crew compared to a good 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'd really like to know where you found those stats - by "numerous" do you mean one person
thought about it? Perhaps you can post a link to some of these passage logs.

Your count of C27's seems real high, especially since the company went belly up a few
years after it was introduced. Are you sure that isn't a count of all the boats they
built?

Since Prout built 4 to 5000 cruising cats, and never had a capsize or sinking, you're
going to have trouble beating that record. I do recall a fire on one - the hull was later
converted to a commercial fishing boat!

Yep! That's why your attempts to portray my boat as unseaworthy were so
laughably ignorant and completely off the mark. You are one desperate little
lubber!

Which attempts? Your boat is simply too small to be a safe boat. It's a nice
boat for protected waters where you sail.
We're sailing to Martha's Vineyard in the Spring. That's a trip that would be
less than comfortable on your little toy. The C&C 27 III is also less of a boat
than the 70's versions, from build to interior to lines.

Wrong! I did not even file last year. I paid zero! Had no income
ya know - at least no income the government could be aware of.

Always specify cash in 20 dollar bills for any transactions.
