SAIL LOCO February 2nd 05 06:49 AM

What did you think about the Lagoon 380?.

We thought it was a nice boat. Then again we think all borrowed $200K + boats
are nice. One inovative feature is the new pass thru from the galley to the
cockpit.

,If any of you putzes sailed and lived aboard real boats
you would not feel any need to go play sailor on some
stupid tourist trap multi-hull.

It's a vacation party platform. Nothing more nothing less. I'd rather borrow
one for a week than own a Coranado.

Damn right. I wouldn't want to own the cat we rented either, but it was fun
for 10 days.

Yeah Right! Like I'm going to swim around a harbor with bolt cutters
that probably weigh twenty pounds.



Why not? I do it all the time.





Pathetic Earthlings! No one can save you now!

What really aggravates me is when idiots like that use an all-chain rode.

It makes it impossible to go over the side in the dark of night with a
nice sharp knife to send them on their way . . .



Hey! ****ing Moron! Ever heard of BOLT CUTTERS?


They make 3' bolt cutters that float ?


Yeah, but you couldn't use them to cut anything.


Or will those water wings you keep under your shirt keep you afloat?



I know how to swim.

What a load of crap..... they do not all use only chain.
...and you are not permitted to drop anchor on coral! DUH!

Try to find a boat in the islands that doesn't use an all chain rode for
the
primary. As far as dropping on coral goes your anchor may be in the sand
but
your 100' rode may be in the coral. Your only "not permitted" in the
"park"
areas. Patches of coral are everywhere.


Bull****.... lots of boats use chain and rode combinations. Futhermore...
the coral reefs are protected and not only is it stupid to drop hook
anywhere near coral but it is also forbidden. It's people like you who
damage the reefs due to ignorance in proper anchoring procedures.
It's not only "in the park"... in the BVI's it's everywhere. You are
encouraged to take a mooring or drop hook in suitable bottom conditions... a
coral reef which is proximal enough to snag your rode does not qualify as
suitable bottom.

No... but if you have a clue at all... you slip foam pipe insulation
around
the handles and let me tell you... you now have a very light set of 3ft
Bolt
Cutters in the water!

Jesus Mooron, that's the smartest thing you've ever posted!


Heh... I've cut several moorings in my time.

Galley up. I don't believe any of the major cat makers do galley down anymore.
