Been aborad both Siedlemans and a US Yacht. Never sailed any. Have seen US
Yachts sail and they don't sail any better than their Bucaneer ancestors. The
Siedlemans I hav seen sailing (including your own) seemed to sail decently.



You ever sail one jaxy?

I've been aboard two Siedlemanns. They are worse, perhaps as bad as the
US
Yachts. The only thing worse than seeing one is meeting the poor fool who
bought it.

Siedlemanns were (not many left) pretty bad, but US Yachts is what became
of
Bucaneer.

There's US Yachts 30 at my club. Not terrible looking, but in bad shape. It
actually sails okay. I tried to sell it a year ago for 2K or less. No takers.
If Scotty wanted a boat to fix up, he should have started with an old Pearson,
Alberg or even a Catalina. At least he would have had something in the
end...and some dignity.

sounds like one of your dates.

well, there ya go. I bought the boat to sail. Mostly for 3~7 day cruises on
the Chessy.

I didn't buy it to sit in a slip and watch TV.,or bolt on gadgets and
frills so I could impress people.

Scotty, a true sailor.
