I simply made a factual statement regarding the steps undertaken when I purchased my particular vessel Bob... I did not "advocate" anything. You are taking undue liberties with my posting. I believe the difference here is that while I have been raised around boats, since I was 5 years old, you are in effect a "Johnny come lately" to the scene. I have no doubt that you can quote verbatim what you've read on the subject and profess to numerous day sails in protected waters which never truly test a boat.... I can calmly assess a vessel based on years of experience, sea time, foul weather behaviour as well as apprenticeship to master craftsmen and boat builders.... I've repaired and rebuilt more vessels than you have sailed on. I started commercial fishing at 13 years old and learned early from my betters. It's an option you should seriously consider Bob! CM |
