So it does, however the first thing a prospective sees is the part about "must be picked up in Queens", it might put some off, just trying to help out. Martin, are you having reading trouble? It doesn't say that anywhere on the page. It reads: Packing and shipping these props will be 36.00 in the US. You can also pick this up in Queens or City Island, NY. RB Go try again, if one reads from top to bottom, left to right, as most of us in this group do, the first thing about shipping you find is directly below "Item Location", and reads: "Item location: Queens, NY United States Ships to: Local pickup only (no shipping)" Now as I said, I'm just trying to be helpful, you seem to be getting rather defensive.

Don't you know anything about ebay? Never give anyone feedback until
they give you feedback. The guy took my money and didn't send the item. When I reported him to ebay, he sent me a different item with missing parts. You're right, I don't play well with people who pull scams. My seller rating is perfect. People certainly do look over feedback and mine is excellent. When I see a # below 90% I worry. RB |

You can report fraud, ect to ebay without leaving him a neg. until after he has provide you feedback. Duh. You don't get it. Ebay suspended him. He got reinstated, then returned fire. In any case, he scammed several people and it was worth the neg to let people know. Doesn't effect my sales one bit. RB |

A short walk from my boat is the schooner Dolphin, one of nine schooners build by the Nazis to transport missiles to Peenemude. It has the biggest prop I've seen on a sailing yacht. Lots of pictures of the refit. Good reason the prop was so big Bart. It was buildt to haul cargo in heavy sea's at a reliable pace . And when buildt it was not a sailing yacht at all. Great history of that boat. I wonder if its an early model of Oak Planking or the latter with pine. It would be nice to get boat number 10-20 with the bugs shook out and still using quality materials. Those nazi's had some nice equipment during the start of WWII. Have you seen their bravery medals from the later part of the war? Made of bakelite plastic. Early one's were made of Sterling Silver. Now I could understand if Kerry threw plastic cheapo medals over the fence, but bronze and silver stars.......what a dick.

I wonder if its an early model of Oak Planking or the latter with pine. 3" Long Leaf Yellow Pine planking, custom milled for Dolphin by New England Naval Timbers. I've read that big slow moving props are more efficient that smaller faster turning props. I imagine the Dolphin will be able to motor well for it's size. Still, with that much wetted surface and gross tonnage, I bet it burns some fuel under power. They cut out four big sections of the shrink wrap today on Dolphin so I guess they are starting work on her again. Pretty lame of them to miss out on the ideal cool work weather we have had. Perhaps they are running into financial problems. A boat this size must cost $5000 for winter dry storage. I figure it costs about $780 a month just to sit there--not to mention repair work and materials. They are trying to sell shares in the boat at $100,000 for 1/10 share. I don't think there are many takers. Bart Senior |

Fresh Breezes- Doug King ADVENTURES IN PARADISE, LLC, has been formed to fully restore the boat to better than new condition, and fit the boat out for extended cruising and commercial chartering. The LLC is being capitalized at $2 million. Half of this amount is being invested by the initial five members of the LLC. The other $1,000,000 is being offered for sale as 50 membership units in the LLC at a cost of $20,000 each. Capital invested will be used to refit the vessel and prepare it for income generating charter service. Once fully restored and ready to sail (scheduled for fall of 2005), the Company will market and sell a variety of cruise and charter packages to the public and to special interest groups for 20-30 weeks per year. Marketing will occur through a contracted management company as well as independently. These rentals will generate $15,000 to $25,000 per week, reaching an annual revenue stream of in excess of $500,000 within four years. After operating expenses, management expects the business to generate a net annual income that grows to more than $200,000 during the first five years. Each membership share will entitle the member to two weeks of prepaid all-inclusive vacation cruising for two people on Dolphin each year, plus a share of profits from the charter business. It is projected that members will receive an annual return on invested capital of 7 to 14% which will average 11 percent. Additionally, shares may be sold, transferred, gifted or traded freely. The owners will also receive a proportional share of any proceeds from the eventual sale of the boat and business, thus more than doubling their investment after five years. Details are included in the Business Plan which follows. The thing is, they're not guaranteeing your investment, indeed, the whole project could go down the tubes before the boat is re-launched.

Without donations, non-profit status, and volunteer help, she would probablly be rotting or sold for scrap. Yep. Once upon a time, vessels like this were the trucks of the eastern seaboard. Carried almost everything to towns along almost every stretch of water, which is why so many had centerboards. In New England more coasting schooners didn't have them, they had to wait on tides anyway. Here in NC the boats had to be extreme shallow draft and many had two centerboards. Also, due to the chppy waters of NC sounds they had exaggerated bow flare which came to be a style identified with Harker's Island and NC boats in general. It's a good thing Howard Chappelle made a serious study of these vessels before they all died out completely. Now, all that's left are a few pampered yachts and skipjacks that survive by taking tourists out sailing. I've been out on a few replicas (sometimes as a paying tourist, sometimes as a volunteer) and it's a lot of fun. Some people take it *very* seriously though. Fresh Breezes- Doug King |
