don't know. not sure I have ever seen one. Did St Tom to NYC non-stop on a 52
foot such last spring but don't know much about how strong that boat was as we
never saw winds much about 40 knots, and even that wasn't all that many hours.

12 days, about 70 hours of motoring, including all that through NY Harbor.

An irwin is still better than a Siedleman or Mac and probably some Lancers.

Its hard to imagine that an Irwin is better than any boat. The one that I
chartered for a season was falling apart, quite literally. It was 8 years old.

That's because Neal worked at the Irwin factory. A Coronado was a big =
quality leap for him.

Come on, Mooron, isn't this a little beneath you? I mean, where is
your self respect? Making fun of Irwin owners is too much like

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.

Scotty, no one doubts that your boat can move. But the fact, and I do think you
know this, is that the Siedlemann line is known for poor quality with some
boats being lemons. I've looked at the Sailnet boards and some of the owners
operate on the "I've got a good one" theme. Not exactly the level of better
O'Days and even Macs.

RB

Bobsprit January 29th 04 12:05 PM

Not knowing the meaning of "better" is how you ended up with a Siedlemann.



Dang. True. But the other side is that Scotty was warned off by a few. He just
wanted 30 feet in the same way Gayanzy wants 8 inches.
A good friend of mine wanted a 33-35 footer, but when she saw how far the money
would go, she set her sights on a 29-30 footer with about 20K to spend.
I think Scotty spent 2 or 3K on his boat and he was taken. When it comes to
boats One man's garbage is...another man's garbage. Too bad Scotty has yet to
learn this.

I know boatyards that will not haul a Mac (or old wooden boats for that
matter), and don't like to haul a Siedleman, but will haul most anything else.
I specifically asked about a Siedleman because I knew of two available (one
abandoned in a yard, the other a repo). The Siedlemans seemed to look to be
okay sailors, but I understand they can have structural issues when on jack
stands.

is still better than a Siedleman or Mac and probably some
Lancers.

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.

If you're still over at Styvesant there's a larger one (not sure if it's over
33 feet) available cheap. My friend took a look and was warned away by anyone
and everyone. The reputation of these boats, along with Mac and US Yachts,
Bucaneer...all among the worst of the worst.

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.

Seidlemans are not on my list.

My next boat will be less a LIS/Chesey lite winds boat than the Siedleman is.
Looked at an Ingrid recently (fine, fine hull and rigging, 1940's
farmhouse/kitchen type interior that could not be remedied without total
removal), though I think I prefer something smaller than an Ingrid.

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.

You need to phrase the question as an obscure and irrelevant
mathematical problem. That way, you will get a pointless essay answer
to your question. It won't answer your question, but at least it will
be an answer:)
