I don't need to google... Bob had never sailed his latest vessel prior to
purchase. It had been laid up for 2+ years.


Wrong again, Mooron. I sailed a C&C 32 months before and drove quite a ways to
do it. Alien had been on the hard for 9 years and could not be test sailed.
Since I knew the owner and the fellow who'd cared for her, I had zero concerns.
As is quite aparent I made quite a killing. She has had no problems of any kind
after two seasons. Wasn't it YOU who claimed the engine wouldn't last? When
might I expect a failure? I only ask because it's running like new.
I also test sailed a C&C 33, which was also a contender.
