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
berth.



The 'padding' keeps it warm. :-)))))

Cheers

Sez who? That's what most cruising consists of.

Do you live in a cave when on land? Just how stupid are you? It doesn't
matter
where I am. I always prefer to have comfortable accomodations.

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.

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.


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.

I'm starting to gather that you don't sail outside a protected bay
somewhere in
a pram.

619 miles, IIRC???


BTW, the "files" that I mentioned are photos that you enquired about, a few
months ago. Your hotmail account looks dead.

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.

If you go look at many, even most long-distance cruisers, you'll see
that they've widowed down their requirements to what is actually
useful.

huh? WTF are you talking about?

I have spent at many as 12 days at at sea (not counting my time in the military
in which I once 14 days at sea, including three days in a north Pacific storm
in January) and I always liked a nice interior. Great for sleeping against
when the sea were high and great to laying back and reading when the seas
weren't.
