If you and Scotty want to know how much I earn, - why don't you ask
straight
out?

Donal... how much money do you earn in an averge year?

That question is in extremely bad taste. Any person who had real class
wouldn't even consider asking such a question.

I wouldn't even dream of answering it.





It's obvious that neither of you earn as much as Australian ex-coppers.

Without a doubt...... do you?

Unlikely ... all my income is honestly earned!!

As it should be!

I'm glad you consider those monthly pay-offs from your "Associates" to be
"honestly earned" Ozone!! It's just that Donal has elected to take the route
less travelled. He actually earns his money by hard work, impeccable ethics
and honesty. This is... as you are aware form your days on the force... a
difficult path to negotiate. Donal has full right to feel so smug about the
few hard earned dollars he makes! Please refrain from enlightening him as to
the profit of life without conscience.

So how many boats do you own now Ozone?? Did you find a new gardener? Have
you disciplined the manor staff? Skiing the Alps this year? Any new vessels
added to your Greek Isles fleet? I understand the weather in England is
cold, wet and miserable.

Your comments show you are old school in your attitudes and are incapable
of appreciating the superior qualities of a modern vessel with a functional
design. I have commented below, throughout your post to show you the error
of your thinking.

One must wonder why, on a modern GRP vessel, anyone could abide such an

The Bowsprit is not only functional but adds to the fine sheer of the vessel.

Functional? Hardly. Sheer is comely but when carried to the extreme as
in the case of a long bowsprit it becomes as excessive as a silicone implants
on a lovely woman with a 36D-sized breasts. Pray tell how loading heavy
anchors and chain on the end of a long bowsprit does anything other than
cause even a properly designed hull to hobby-horse in a seaway. Please inform
me why, if a vessel has a properly designed keel with a properly placed mast, it
is necessary to add a headsail way forward where it only serves to unbalance
a proper center of effort/center of lateral resistance plan.

Modern boats should be designed to eliminate this anachronistic appendage. It has no advantage other than increase the LOA of the
vessel making a small vessel seem larger in the advertising brochures.

I don't think you are thinking this out clearly..... It provides a secure platform to change sail in foul weather, as well as
being a clutter free area to store & deploy ground tackle. The bowsprit is stainless and teak... a massive and solid construction.
From the end of the bowsprit I can deploy a gennaker. It makes an excellent platform for bow watch on a tricky entry. The ladies
love to strip off and use it as a dive platform.

A properly laid-out foredeck provides an even more secure platform to change
headsails and a foredeck does not plunge up and down nearly as much as a long
sprit in heavy seas. It is a common tale of woe often heard that sailors are often
submerged while working at the end of a bowsprit. This is not the case on the
foredeck proper. A proper vessel either has an anchor locker on the foredeck or
short bow rollers on which to store anchors which minimize the hobby horse effect.
As for deploying gennakers, I have no trouble doing so without the anachronistic
sprit. As a place to stand the watch, it is no more advantageous than having the
watch stand on the bow proper. As for a dive platform for women, I say if your
women have time to fool around diving off the sprit then they are not doing their
womanly duties below where any real captain would see they stay out of sight,
out of mind and naked.

Form & Function.... that's all I ask... that's all I get.

Poor form and fiction more like . . .

A hunk of junk, not even built anymore Coronado 27 is a modern marvel? the
marvel is that it still floats...

Give it a rest, Katy. At least my boat was manufactured in the good ole
USA. Your French fluff in unpatriotic. How many Americans have you
put out of work buying French?

HAHAHAAAAA!

Mooron, stop smooching up to Oz. He doesn't mix in your circles.
You only own *one* boat.... and it is a bit shorter and a lot older than any
of Ozzie's vessels.

I don't get payoff Mooron....just rent ....

Heh..... Rent's Good!

Only 5 yachts and an 18' clinker putt putt launch

Man Oh Man.... that's 4 more than Honest Don-Al

How did you know about that?

You Uber Rich are so predicatble....

The cleaning lady is very good, I never have any complaints.

Well don't entertain a raise in salary just yet... it's been proven that the
more you pay them... the less work they do!

Australian Alps...yep.
I didn't get much time in France this year because i was organising
the purchase of the cat.

Ah Yes... when one hobby interferes with another hobby... it's simply a
bother!

All sold, at a premium.

How shrewed.... who would want to vacation next to a global hotspot of
dissention?

I wouldn't know. Sydney is superb today 27C and a little cumulus...it
will storm this afternoon.

Storms must be wonderful to watch from the lavish comfort of your Manor...
overlooking the water with your new gardener tending to the lush botanical
array. I wonder how it looks from Donal's Brownstone walkup and his ravaged
flowerbox overlooking the pawnshop!?? That's the conundrum..... do you
heed obedient reason under the burden of ethics or the logic of rational
with the freedom of disposable income???

CM

Oh Please... you must admit it was a great post!!

BTW- I have no pride left... I was married once and it was stripped clean
away!

Not at all, one of my boats was launched on the 18th October 1985.

My Nordica was built in 1983..... and I wouldn't trade her for 5 of your
best boats!
