Right. He wouldn't know a high quality boat if it T-Boned him.

I resent that! My boat was chosen as "one of the world's best sailboats" by no less an authority
than Ferenc Mate! I'm sure there are others with high quality boats.

My boat was also built by one of the "best builders" according to
Mate. I consider it to be a "high quality" boat for my purposes,
though not a museum piece

Jeff, you have a fine boat, but a Swan or Shannon it aint. Maybe Loco thinks
his Express is on that level or maybe he's never been aboard a 1st class yacht,
which is more probable.

RB

A Swan? Probably not. But a Shannon, sure. Shannons are very nice but they're
not museum quality, like Little Harbors and Hinckley's.
