I don't have any problems with people owning lightweight plastic boats - they do go fast and point high, plus you get lots of exercise changing headsails with each 5 knot wind change. Just that nobody should think they're good for much else. Agreed, but with reservations. You mention a friend who just bought a ferrocement cruiser on the cheap, what would you think if instead, he'd bought a newer former racing of the same capacity, for half the price he paid for the FC job? DOn't know about over there, but in the US there is no market at all for retired racers and they are going begging. Some are cheesy junk, true, but some have great potential as cruisers IMHO. It just requires some knowledge & judgement to pick among them, as with anything else (cars, women, power tools, etc etc). It'd depend on the boat really.

I think what's happening is that a lot of these boats are on the market because of the economy, and the owner can't reconcile himself to scrap them, yet their sale value seems to be hovering right around scrap value.

No need to wonder about my objections to public displays
of affection as I have stated my stand on numerous occasions. It is rude, self-centered, inconsiderate, stupid and hedonistic to engage in public displays of affection whether those who do it are gay or straight. Public flirting, kissing, grouping and sex is not something right-thinking, mature people wish to do or have any desire to do. It's only maladjusted, people who need an audience to shock so they become the center of attention in order to enjoy what they should be enjoying in private. Love and displays of love and sex are demeaned by public prostitution of the physical displays of love. "Hey, look at me!" is the vulgar motivation. This is what motivates children to a large extent. Adults should have outgrown this need to be looked at when it comes to private acts of a sexual nature and, yes, flirting is sexual in nature, especially when it makes others uncomfortable and goes against religious teachings When people, gay or straight, engage in public displays of affection they are being rude, inconsiderate, and uncaring. They step all over people's rights to not be exposed to sexuality in public. It is little different than masturbating in public. It's sick, it's stupid, it's wrong and it's totally unnecessary. Give it a rest already. S.Simon "Lady Pilot" wrote in message news:lWXtb.6039$n23.974@okepread02... Thanks, Katy. I'm begininning to wonder about Neil's objection to heterosexual flirting...

LP,
Unlike you, Katy, Lady Sailor, Trojan Lady, Ms. Carroll, Haggie, and some of the other female losers who have blessedly become conspicuous in their absence, I don't frequent this group to read sexual fantasies and idle chit chat of a flirtatious nature between slutty women who could care less about sailing but only wish to bolster their egos by making themselves the center of attention by invoking sexuality in the majority of their posts while leading astray weak, effeminate males like Mooron until they embarrass themselves in public and embarrass the entire group. If I wanted immaturity, I'd log onto an AOL chat room for teenagers who don't know what it is to be a mature, well-adjusted person. Is it really necessary to be flooded with this crap here where it has no place? My motivation is being a sailorman and telling like it is from the viewpoint of a real sailorman. The fact is when women frequent alt.sailing.asa too much the level of discourse here becomes silly, childish, perverse and disgusting. It starts with inane female comments and dubious contributions of a sleazy nature and multiplies with girly men responding until the group reads like soap opera chit chat. In a nutshell women harm any man's group and this is a man's group. Decent women would not intrude. What does that say about the women who continue to intrude even when they know they are not welcome? S.Simon "Lady Pilot" wrote in message news:u_Xtb.6041$n23.4868@okepread02...

There is no difference whatsoever in that regarrd for CFRP. The "tooling" is in fact simpler as it is less hard than glass fibres.
