Your boat sucks IF.....

You going sailing, huh?

Donal... it's obvious that Bob is dedicated to consuming as much of the fuel
as possible that his commander in chief is liberating in Irag. He'll be
motoring as usual...95% of the time. The vessel will need a diesel genset to
power all that stuff when he decides to actually sail it. While plugged in
shoreside Bob will effectively destroy his much proclaimed energy efficency.

It's sad... truly sad....

Nutsy,

A stall shower on a sail boat is a damn waste of space and fresh water
supply!

It is a REAL description of what kind of sailor you really are. A real
shore power sailor. SSB radio? Why? To listen to sailors who are out to
sea? A Cellular Phone? To tell Susy what time you'll be home for
supper. (g)

The kind who likes to keep clean!

SSB radio? Why?

It comes with the boat. Should I throw it away?

Sat phones are a nice safety item even on a coastal cruiser, Thom.

In your case the speed dial with Sea-Tow's Emergency number will be really
handy.... only $10.Min..... just in case you lose the batteries to your
Cellular Phone!!!!!

Sat Phone!!.... Coastal!!!... Bwahahahahahahahahahaaaaa

Do you have a clue as to how ridiculous that is!

CM

Nutsy.

When was your last two Coastal cruises? To where?

You are right though, they are a great safety feature. Actually they get
a better CG response than the VHF.

"Coastal" to the Boob is 150 yards from land.
S/V Express 30 "Ringmaster"
"Trains are a winter sport"

Thom has a way of hitting the nail on the head. good one 'ol man.

It's PHRF is over 100 on average
It was Built before 1995
It doesn't have a genset and AC/Heating system
It doesn't have 6'5 headroom or better

You have to take out a loan to buy it.
It doesn't come with a new dinghy and outboard
It doesn't have forward looking sonar
It doesn't have SSB, VHF and Sat Phone

Does your boat qualify by meeting or exceeding these???

All except age. I'm smart enough to maintain a vessel. I do not need
new, I have the best buildt.

Are all your thruhulls Monel?
Full Keel w board?
Draft from 4.5ft to 11ft?
Hand crafted SS & Carbon fiber rigging?
Sextant?
Charts?
300 gal fuel? 1100 mile min range
175 gal water?
100HP main?
Deisel Gen?
55 ft main mast?
Mizzen mast?





I employed Loco-Logic
to create the list!!!!
