Well... if dining out every night and hopping from marina facility to
marina facility is your idea of "cruising"... which obviously it is.... I
guess you'd have a point.
With an experience level amounting to 3 days as your longest "cruise" [
interspersed with liberal shore side dining] in the LIS.... you're hardly in
a position to make a valid judgment on this Bob.

Engine Hour meter reading? .... never ming my video!!

Dip!

"Idea" of cruising? Is there a specific meaning for "cruising?"
Do tell!

Your point is invalidated simply because you have to date not undertaken
such a venture.... and I mean a solid week of cruising without marina
resupply and shoreside evening meals.

Actually we did. Spent a week sailing Ghost last season and spent most of it
aboard. But I guess that not's not true "cruising."
Still waiting for the definition!

Every 30 foot fin keeler is a racing boat ... spark up a doobie!

cruise ( kr›z) v. cruised cruis·ing cruis·es v. intr. 1. a. To sail or
travel about, as for pleasure or reconnaissance. b. To go or move along,

Sorry, mooron...but perhaps we should find out if Webster ever took a cruise
that fit's your parameters!

Bwahahahahaha!

There's a large sapn of difference between "cruising" 52nd street and
"cruising" for a bruising as well. Don't try a slip out of this. You know
damn well what a week's cruise would actually involve without the benefits
of evening dock rentals and shore side supper.... you just don't have any
experience with it.

Now I could do another google to prove you actually have agreed with this in
the past... but I'm currently well ahead of you in that aspect so just admit
you are wrong and get it over with Bob! It'll save you further
embarrassment.

CM

Knowledgeable and Accurate.... you've once again hit the nail squarely!

I concur with your statement...

| Bob,

| I know what you are saying and yes it can be true but probably not. When
| you say a week you are getting into the time period where cruising
| people take their "Do Dads" with them. When they do this the R/C suffers
| badly in performance. This is to be expected and is accepted. It is
| still a fast cruiser but its' performance does drop off badly, where a
| true cruiser doesn't lose that much and it does start to be a toss up of
| which boat is going to have the better over-all performance. Granted the
| "Crab Cruncher" didn't have that much to lose to start with
|
| Boat designers have spent forever trying to find the right compromise
| and will be for ever looking. That's sailing. There is untold
| personalities to be satisfied. As soon a one is satisfied the desire
| will change.
|
| For sure You and I aren't going to come up with the answer but one thing
| is sure a J30 loaded for cruising isn't going to match a Nordic. A
| stripped out Nordic, sure a hell, isn't going to out-perform a J30 in
| racing trim. Even Bob Perry says about the same thing, and he probably
| comes the closest with his fast cruiser concept.
|
| You can use it as a troll but the discussion is a old as the first "Rag
| Sailer" that hollowed out the first Keel.
|
| And; "I'll Drink to That!"
