Eat your heart out you sniveling Canuk!

Hey Horvath,
I received them and they are on the boat. I even managed to get the old main removed and the new one bent on except for installing the battens because a big thunderstorm came up then it got dark. The mainsail fits perfectly and the jib will also be perfect because it was built to my measurement specs. You sound jealous. Wait till you see the new pics on a web page I'll put up on my site and you will turn green with envy. S.Simon "Horvath" wrote in message ...

YOU'RE the dumbass around here.
Do you actually think you are fooling anybody? Racing that ugly Hunter is like racing a Ford Ranger except the Ranger at least looks like a pick-up truck while your boat looks like an old Nash Rambler. Bwaaahahahahahha! You're a dip****. S.Simon - has a better boat. Better looking and faster to boot. "Horvath" wrote in message ...
