"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.

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 keep to within sight of shore and a protected bay in light
airs....maybe!

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!!

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!!

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!

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.

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

Hmmm, decisions, decisions...oh wait, you were talking about sailboats,
