Ok. I'm:

Frank Maier from Everett, WA, a bit north of Seattle and a bit south of
Ole Thom. I post occasionally; but I mostly lurk.

No sailboat at present. Former owner of various keelboats and planning
to buy something around 40 feet in the next couple of years for family
cruising/homeschooling around the Caribbean. Retired in 95. Two kids,
currently 10 and 12.

Frank

I don't think so either.

Bart,

That doesn't sound like Gordon. He has never ever posted like that.

Ole Thom

Gilligan checking in. I hope to get my sailboat back when they drain the
reservoir this spring.

Annual LURKER Check-In !!!

For those of you lurking out there. This is the
annual Lurker Check-in.

Lurkers are those that read posts but do not post
responses or start threads.

You don't have to post anything intelligent, just
your handle and location, include boat name,
type and model, if you have one.

This is your big chance to get easy points.

If you don't check in, nothing bad will happen to you,
you will just remain POINTLESS!

1 point award per fact you provide.

Those of you that have posted and do not have any
points at all, or you are not sure if you have any points,
you can check in now for free alt.sailing.asa newgroups
points.

Tartan or Benetau.


They are two *totally* different boats.

I suspect that you haven't fully thought out your priorities.

Are you more interested in dockside comfort (Tartan), or performance afloat
(Beneteau)?

Welcome back Frank. You've posted some good stuff in the past.

What kind of boat are you thinking of getting?

My kids are currently 15 and 18, and it is very difficult to get them to go
sailing. Get your boat ASAP if you want to have them involved.

I've sailed a Tartan 4100... they are pretty zippy. Definitely on par
with one of the First series of similar size.
