And here I thought that was urban legend all these years.....I've heard that story several times, too....

My friend has done 23 of the Macinaws. I can ask him about the
particulars...he would probably know more of the details, but it is a
good story Kind of tame compared to the Hobie regattas they have
around here Now those people know how to have fun at a party

Joe,
Pipe down a minute....noone was referring to liveaboards....Cruisers =
have houses with tv...why go to the boat to watch the tube, for Paete's =
sake? You might as well stay home.

Whats wrong with TV's onboard, I have 2 they have DVD players as well.
Ones a bulkhead mounted flat 42" TV in the forward bunk room and a 18"
in the guest cabin. Have a direct TV dish onboard as well. Have 3
computer displays, and a color radar display with GPS & chart overlay.
Soon I will have flir. I would really like to have a heads up display
helmet that will always read my course, speed, wind direction, and
relay flir image from the monitor, hooked up to the camera that will
follow my eyes.


Would it be cheaper to park that boat in a trailer park?

You could prop it up on some nice red bricks!!

Whats wrong with enjoying a flick at anchor or the dock, or underway
for that matter?


There's nothing wrong with it and today's modern systems and flat screen sets
make it easy and save for any boat. A Island packet 40 or Caliber 35 or PS 37
can carry a small TV/DVD anywhere without compromising a thing. A flush mounted
set and player isn't going to be effected in bad weather...though you might get
sick trying to watch.
It's your boat and you can have your own rules. Don't listen to Katy or
Dumbco's 1965 hippyesque ideals about what THEY think constitutes proper
sailing. It's your boat. Enjoy it!

Is that were you park your cheaply fitted and buildt Bent- a-toe?
At least most trailers have floorboards that fit properly.

I know this is how you teach your kids to sail, but I rather have my
boat in the water.

I can see you now, your bentatoe on a foundation of bricks (just
propped up would puncture your flimsy hull) yelling at your boy in the
fog. Quick toss that potatoe and listen for the splash boy. Running
down below and taking physic bearings with no external imput at all.
Your a joke Lanod!

My floorboards fit correctly.

Come on! Admit it ... you would find social interaction much easier in the
trailer park, wouldn't you? You would probably find that you could become
friends with the neighbours. You've already admitted that people in the
marina move their boats once they meet you( and your incompetent boat
handling skills). Wouldn't you be much happier living in a tolerant
community, where bashing into your neighbour's vehicle would be seen as
normal behaviour?

Tsk, tsk. They are *red* bricks. The colour is very important. In
future, think of your own neck when you use the word brick. That way, you
won't forget the colour, will you?

You don't read well, do you? Ah well, they say that "opposites attract",
don't they?

I've got Radar!

Thanks!


BTW, you are an absolute menace. You are a self-confessed, dangerous,
breaker of the CollRegs. Furthermore, you are too stupid to understand
simple words like "sight" and "hearing".
