Your boat sucks IF.....

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
It doesn't have new color radar and chartplotter
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
It doesn't have a seperate stall shower

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!!!!

A lot of times brand new boats have much less to offer than 2nd hand ones.


Are all your thruhulls Monel?

Nope, not needed or desirable... except on a metal hulles boat, maybe.

Full Keel w board?

What's desirable about a full keel w- board? Worst of both worlds...
slow, can't point, poor handling, ballast not as low...

Draft from 4.5ft to 11ft?

4.5' ?? Too deep.

Charts?

Umm, yeah.

Probably some people go sailing without charts, but I'm not one of them.

300 gal fuel? 1100 mile min range

Phooey. 450 gal and we can go 1800 miles.

175 gal water?

Watermaker?

100HP main?

135... not that we really need it. The boat would be better off IMHO
with 90 HP.

Deisel Gen?

yep.

55 ft main mast?

nope. But it's a plus IMHO, we can go under 14' air draft.

Mizzen mast?

Nope.. but I could put one on if we wanted...

and board pin and supports.

For ponds maybe

Me neither. I rather have a chart then any electronic gadget.


300 gal fuel? 1100 mile min range

Phooey. 450 gal and we can go 1800 miles.

Pay attention Doug. I said MIN 1100 miles. Thats moter only no wind.
Most likely I can go 3 times that distance if I have any wind.


175 gal water?

Watermaker?

Not yet. Will get one before heading out into the Pacific.



100HP main?

135... not that we really need it. The boat would be better off IMHO

Deisel Gen?

55 ft main mast?

Tougboat



Mizzen mast?

Nope.. but I could put one on if we wanted...

Might be handy

approx at hull speed. 8.7 kts. and the gen set running 24/7.

How bout your new boat everyone gonna **** over, what kind of range do
you think it has?

Uh, Joe...Sailboats have unlimited range.

RB

Nutsy,

Sailboat do not have unlimited range. Never did and never will.

The limiting factors; People and their needs. Provisions and water!!
That is one of the big factors of the success of power. Trip planning
with a known time period and known provisioning needs.

That, Nutsy, is why a stall shower is a damn waste. Empty space!

Uh, Joe...Sailboats have unlimited range.

Uh, Boob....... they are linited by the size of the water tanks.
