Booby, we're not talking about someone walking into a boat dealer and saying
"I'll take that one... in blue if you don't mind.


Wow! I've never met a sailor who did that...but I guess YOU have!

According to Booby, real sailors take a few overnight trips and a couple
of long weekends to prove their worth.

Gotta love it! Ganzy failed to find a SINGLE builder making the "real sailing"
spartan interior he spoke of. Now he's just blowing smoke and insults.

BUSTED, Ganzy.

Yup, I sure did. You failed to back up anything you claimed. I provided a list

You are just 100% stupid if you think boats loaded with
creature comforts and gear perform well.


Boats loaded with gear and comforts perform well if they are design to do so. A
loaded Swan 47 does just fine thank you. And a Valiant, well suited up for
weeks away from land, can log some good miles.
To quote another dope...you know nothing about boats!

No. Also when you're trying to move around down below.
You don't want a lot of beam.

Doug tells us that many racing boats have geodesic structures that
completely obstruct the interior! Perhaps the crew just wedge themselves
into the lattice work?

creature comforts in a cruising boat would be pretty short sighted.

Not according to Ganzy. He thinks a "serious" sailor would just snuggle up to
the saildrive for warmth!
Where's that list of builders, Ganzy??!!

Although I have been "landlocked" for my sailing for the last 15
years, it is at the home of Valiant Yachts. If there is a more
seaworthy boat built, I have yet to see it. There aint nothing
spartan about those boats. If I were going to sea, balls to the wall,

Incredibly, amazingly wrong. Real sailors measure themselves

You are quite the moron. Real sailors don't measure themselves by how
uncomfortable they are. They measure themselves by how much they are

enjoying
themselves. Maybe you are so feeble that you need an uncomfortable nights

sleep
to feel like you are facing a big challenge of some sort.

I'm starting to gather that you don't sail outside a protected bay

somewhere in
a pram.

a Dufour 27 has low ports and will bury a "window" at about 7 knots wind speed.

Yep. I find that if I can't move once I'm in the bunk, I'll sleep fine. I've

Dayhopping down the coast doesn't count.
Try sailing to a decent destination and see how much use you get from
your fancy interior on the way.
Two, three, or 6 days at sea will soon convince you that real sailors
have little use for traditional creature comforts.



I like my bedding to be warm and dry. Isn't that a creature comfort?

Cheers MC


Yep, but still it's difficult to sleep in a normal bunk without
additional padding.
My most comfortable sleeping has been done in a sleeping bag on a pipe

Go to any sal****er marina and you will find plenty of more seaworthy boats
than a Valiant. Valiant is a huge marketing success but it is generally
considered by knowledgeable, scientifically trained sailors to be about a knot
and half slower for its size and design than it should be. Salty looking boat,
though, and that does have market appeal.

Bob Perry would say different, but then Bob has publicly called me an asshole,
but Bob has also publicly stated that he has struggled with math all his life,

It sounds a bit like you haven't slept while underway. If a boat tacks
while you are unsecured, and asleep, it can be bloody uncomfortable.


That's why you fit lee cloths.


Yeah, I know that I should have done that by now. I usually use kit bags,
and anything else I can find to jam myself in. I suppose that if I had the
use the main cabin, then there would be lee cloths.



Cheers



However, there is a lot of truth on both sides of the argument in this
thread. Elanor Tims (or Timms??), recently told us that her boat sunk

by
6" after she got it prepared for an extended cruise. My boat sinks by
about an inch when we prepare for our 2 week summer cruises.


Only an inch? I'd say when fully loaded with food, booze, water and
diesel for a 4 week trip we the WL is half way up the boot topping.


Food, and booze are much cheaper at our destination (France usually).

I don't think it has been in production this long becuase it is "salty
looking". I watch these things being built and shipped out all over
the world. These things are built and well thought out. Perhaps it
is slower than it needs be because of the strenght of it's
construction? Is that a bad thing for a "seaworthy boat"? By
"scientifically trained sailors", who would that be in reference to?:)

Actually, I don't doubt either statement:) What does his math
aptitude have to do with anything? Are you suggesting that yacht
design is ultimately a mathmatical exercise and the best slide rule
operator will design the best boat? That would be an interesting
theory to test. Do you have any evidence of that linkage?

I think Bob's success speaks for itself. The boat has been a success,
commercially and out on the water for over 30 years and is in the
Sailboat Hall of Fame. If "scientifically trained sailors" wish to
nitpick, then so be it.
