![]() "Capt. Mooron" blathered pompously: I cruise.... I'm never in a rush... even the odd time I race. It's a good thing you're never in a rush because that crab-crusher of yours is incapable of anything close to respectable speeds. If you ever got a chance to sail a nice, fast and manageable boat such as my fine, blue water Coronado 27 that has an excellent turn of speed as well as supperb maneuverability and seakeeping, you would change your tune in a New York minute. Sometimes it pays to have a fast boat such as running out to deep water when that front or storm blows up or in. In your case you would be attempting to slowly motorsail to safe harbor but you would not make it and suffer a beating from wind and its effects on shallow water working on old-fashioned hull. I will be out, well-off soundings, hove-to and enjoying cooking a hot meal to be washed down with a couple of ice-cold beers. You will be hanging over the rail puking while hollering Maday on the VHF hoping to have some rescue vessel heading your way. CN ---educating the lurkers as to who is the real sailor around here.

Your yellow excuse for a poor performing, coastal cruising, tender, fin keeled, jury rigged, dory of a small boat couldn't hope to catch my fine vessel on the best day. If you ever got a chance to sail a nice, fast and manageable boat such as my fine, blue water Coronado 27 that has an excellent turn of speed as well as supperb maneuverability and seakeeping, you would change your tune in a New York minute. If you keep to within sight of shore and a protected bay in light airs....maybe! Sometimes it pays to have a fast boat such as running out to deep water when that front or storm blows up or in. In your case you would be attempting to slowly motorsail to safe harbor but you would not make it and suffer a beating from wind and its effects on shallow water working on old-fashioned hull. No.. it pays to have a Powerful boat with good pointing abilities and sturdy enough that you needn't run for cover like the fin keelers..... when ever the wind pipes over 30kts!! I will be out, well-off soundings, hove-to and enjoying cooking a hot meal to be washed down with a couple of ice-cold beers. No... you'd be at your mooring.... don't even talk to me about the ocean and it's moods you impertinant, shallow flats, coastal sailor!! I've been in seas that would crush your little fin keeled excuse for a vessel! Cuba?? Hah! they do that in rafts... Bahamas???... they do it on jetskis!! You will be hanging over the rail puking while hollering Maday on the VHF hoping to have some rescue vessel heading your way. Not only am I not susceptable to mal de mere... but even in 45kts and 20 foot seas I wouldn't spill a drink in the cockpit nor take on green water! Even use of the galley, swing stove oven and head is comfortable on a vessel that carries the momentum mine does! CN ---educating the lurkers as to who is the real sailor around here. ....and that is not the coastal flats, fair weather sailing Captain from Florida!! Capt. Mooron S.V.Overproof "Spawned in the African Jungles.... Forged in the Rugged North Atlantic.... and Tempered by the Cold Arctic Ice!" |

In under 4 kts. of wind and on dead-flat water he might be able to give you a little competition. Anything beyond that would put him out of your line-of-sight astern. Over 20kts. he'd never see you beyond the first half hour. Max |

I would prefer the one that is appropriate to where I intend to sail it.
