CN,

"Pneuma" is a PILOTHOUSE SLOOP. Not a raised saloon cruiser. It is a
Pilothouse Sloop with inside helm. A good boat, A fast cruising
Pilothouse Sloop/Aux with inboard diesel power. Engine mounted on motor
mounts ( not a bolt on wooden outboard bracket)

You will find no outboard bracket on my fine, blue water, raised deck
sloop. "Cut the Mustard" is faster and more seaworthy than "Pneuma"
even with Bobsprit at the helm. Your inboard diesel is responsible for
your hull failure at the keel/hull join. It was all that heavy vibration
that turned the hull around the keel bolts to mush. Ever think of that,
Ole Boy?

They are a very desirable boat. Rather hard to find on the used boat
market. Price used is still rather high. It is the PILOTHOUSE that keeps
the price up.

And the windage up and the center of gravity up and the boom up and
the insurance rates up . . .

So, eat your heart out CN, your "Cut the Mustard" formally "Chinchita"
isn't even close to being in the same league with her.

I'm happy to not be in the same league as "Pneuma" who will be 20,000
leagues under the sea should she ever even attempt as many blue water
passages as "Cut the Mustard" has under her keel.

Hope the weather brakes for you. My crew was over tonite and we decided
to not go out until after the Holidays

Ole Thom

Weather is never an obstacle to sailing "Cut the Mustard". She can handle
anything. She's thrives an anything Mother Nature can throw her way.
She's seen more hurricanes than all the boats on alt.sailing.asa combined
and she keeps getting better.

Wishing you and yours as happy a holiday season as possible knowing your
boat is just another pretender.
