Ya know, comparing fin keel boats to crab crushers is really just an
exercise in futility...they are made for different kinds of sailing under
different conditions and for different temperaments...so comparing a Nordica
or a Sea Sprite with a C&C is sort of like comparing pomegranates with
bananas...they're both fruit, and that's about all they share...

It's sort of like Joe's specious arguments about steel boats. Not everyone
who sails wants to be tied to invest in Brillo for the rest of their
lives...so why can't we all just be glad for the boats we have and agree
that the only boats not worth having are Mac 26X's and M's and Coronado
27's?

I have, in the past, posted pictures of my boat. I'm so sorry you
missed them! I really don't give a crap whether you think I have a
boat. Crapton's cedar bucket is more of a boat (and a genuine stink
pot at that!) than anything you own.

If you're so confident about that, you'll have no problem providing me
with
a website where I can post a photo or two of my boat. Warning: be
prepared
to be humiliated.

Sea Sprite 34... Bwahahahahahaha!

PHRF 192 for a 34 foot boat? Bwhahahahahahahahaha!

SAD 15.3? Bwhahahahahaha!

Yeah, that's a real show stopper!

The PHRF rating is a gift. It sails way beyond it's rating. My
particular
boat won second place in its division in the Chicago-Mac. And it
embarrasses supposedly faster boats regularly. A Catalina 34 (PHRF 144),
for example, can't stay with her on any point of sail. Off the wind with
main and chute I pass 410 Hunters like they are going backward. And a
POS
C&C 27 couldn't keep my transom in sight.

Envy is an ugly thing, Blowhard.

Then by definition, you are the ugliest!

Your boat is a slow, ungainly tub. My C&C 27, with a LOA of 26.6, has a
PHRF of
168. Your piece of **** has no more interior space than my boat, is
slower, and
basically falls short of every mark. The only way you could overtake me
would be
if Sea Tow was pulling you. SAD of 15.3... Yeah, keep telling us how fast
your
Sea Slug 34 is!!!

You are so completely busted.

Bwahahahahahaha!
