Just got back from the sea trial. She's a great lady. Sailed really well,
especially since the engine would not keep running... dirty fuel filter
and we didn't have a spare. Bummer.. had to sail all the way back
to the slip. Looks like the engine, other than that, is in great shape.
I did not like the self-tending jib. That's got to go. Also, it'll need a
couple of new winches, new running rigging, and a couple of other
minor things...

I think the non-profit is going to get her instead of me personally, which
is good for both of us. Since the people who are selling it are also a
non-profit, they're giving us an even bigger break on the price, and
we're going to split the cost of the haul and survey.

I can still sail her all I want, and they get a great teaching boat that
needs very little work. We're doing the haul out and inspection next
week. Probably paint her while she's out, fix the illegal head, change
the sheaves now for wire to line, and such.

It was one heck of a beautiful day on the bay today. Sunny and
warm with 15-20 kts of wind in the slot. Yum it was fun.

I'm intrigued by non-profit sailing. There is no such thing =
here....there isn't even a SeaScout troop around here, to my knowledge. =
Under what auspices is your non-profit? Even the local YMCA doesn't =
have a sailing club, and they're right on the lake.

About time you actually sailed, Jon-boy.

"Minor" things? You never bought new winches, or new lines.

So you won't actually own it?

Horass,

Why not shut up now. You know nothing about boats and this just
proves it.

As a non-profit, we get huge discounts and sometimes totally free
equipment from companies such as West Marine. The winches will
cost us less than 1/2 of retail, as will the running rigging.

And, obviously, if the non-profit is going to buy her instead of me,
that means that *I* will not be buying her. Did you miss a few grades
in school or what?

Well, I'm a member of a non-profit sailing organization devoted to teaching
kids and adults. We're sort of like Sea Scouts, except that we have an
adult program and we're more into environmental issues. The org has been
around for about 25 years. I've been a member for less than 5. Basically,
we support the organization by charging for all of the adult classes and
some
of the kids classes. We give sail lesson scholarships to disadvantaged kids,
among other things. If you're interested, let me know I'll give you the
particulars
via email.

Keep talking, Jon-boy.

cost us less than 1/2 of retail, as will the running rigging.

So you don't actually own it? You have to wait in line to use it?

You just answered the last two questions, loser loser loser. You
non-boater loser. You.
