The Bad, the Ugly and the Horrific...and the good
 
You've been using the same, old, tired pics for the
past year. You don't take new ones because you
never go anywhere on your wife's sailboat.

You're claiming now that you sailed from Oyster Bay to the Shark River on your
friends
Galaxy without telling anyone?

Why would I tell anyone. I never mentioned my amazing sail last week either. I
usually only post when I have pics.

The C&C 32...the good!

You forget (maby you never knew) Express Yachts was started by ex C&C people
who were dissatisfied with what was going on at C&C. Poor design, dated
product line, poor build quality etc. So they left and formed Express Yachts,
hired a real designer and built better boats. Period, end of story.

Trains are a winter sport

I read all about Express some time ago. They were not unhappy with quality.
They just wanted their own show and faster designs. But the designs didn't
catch on.
The company FAILED and so did the boats.
End of the story!

Well at least Express only failed once. C&C has failed how many times?

Right, loco! C&C isn't a legend in the sailing business so porwerful that it
was resurected with new designs following closely on the heals of past C&Cs!
You make a bigger ass of yourself with every post.
Express is the DeLorean of sailboats. A few good ideas wrapped in a package
that just didn't catch on. It was a dud.
Meanwhile, the C&C name still flies high with high demand for all models
(except maybe the Mega!).
You are an idiot!

So did C&C, several times, actually. Steve
Killing and Bill Goman left after C&C was bought
out one of the several times.

And C&C survived. Express didn't. Lots of companies are bought out, restarted
and so on. It happens when a name, like C&C carries enough clout to make it
happen. When will the grand Express bring back it's well respected name?
Never. They never made a dent, not a scratch on the history of boatbuilding.

Yup! Movies that no one wants to see now, or ever again! Just like the Boats!
Well done, Donal! Even if you don't have the balls to help, you're so slow you
do anyway!

Bwahahahahaha!!!

So, why do you make them if you know that nobody wants to see them?
