You're no sailor.

Any real sailor develops a relationship with his vessel
as strong or stronger than any family ties.

That you buy, dabble and sell shows you're incapable
of loving a sailboat as you love even yourself.

Makes me wonder why someone would jump boat to boat every year, and
never really fully understand what he has. Its like starting to read a
book and putting it down half way thru.

Nothing wrong with either way. I had the Catalina 27 for 5 seasons. The Pearson
30 for 3. Perhaps we'll sail the C&C 32 for 2 or 3. I enjoy owning and trying a
variety of boats. I'm also unlikely to keep a car for more than a few years.
Some of the best sailors never own a boat. I make a point of trying as many
different designs as possible. Only in that way can I make anything close to an
informed decision about a long term boat down the road. Just like the 20's and
30's are time for sex with a variety of women, the same sorta goes for boats.
I'm 41 (next month) and not ready to "settle" down with any one boat yet.
There's still too much to learn and no single boat can teach it. I plan to sail
the 34XL for 3-4 years and then I want a Ketch, schooner or Yawl for a while.

As a TRUE sailor, I love sailboatS, not a sailboat.
Your limited, as I've always known.

Faulty logic. Any whore can claim she loves men.
This makes her a whore - not a woman.

A true woman loves only one man. A true sailor
loves only one boat.

A true woman loves only one man. A true sailor
loves only one boat.

So then we may assume you never had a boat before the 27 and will never own
another.

Good!

RB

That isn't always true. Look at Bobby Sue. He can't stop learning
until after he starts.

The very fact that you draw such a comparison, as if any boat can be likened to
a whore or a john, speaks volumes of your true failure as a sailor.

The fact that you would compare a boat to a whore, speaks volumes about your
view of boating.

Some people buy a boat -- and some people charter a boat for the weekend.


Your boat is a temporary fixture that provides nothing more than short term
pleasure..... A bit like a whore, really!

No one ever truly owns anything, Donal. Not exactly an advanced ideal, but
surely too much for you!
That's why I'm about to own a better boat than you in every way YOU deem
important. The best part is that I do so with something that would have saved
you from your current boat...actual boat experience.
Sorry, thems the facts. See any other Beneteau's in this group? Ever wonder
why? I've made better choices and here comes the 34XL...a better choice
still...until I move up!
Keep slumming!

Bwahahahaha!
