As far as a "retirement yacht" goes I never thought of it that way.

If you did you'd have to jump into a flaming pit!!!!


I'm satisfied with my "yacht"


Some people like to eat crap. Be happy!


I'm looking into a Flying Tiger
10 meter to continue my daysailing and racing.


Yeah? Weren't you also looking into a C&C 34R? Need to sell the one
good kidney!?


If I want to do any
"cruising" I'll just head for the BVIs or someplace and charter.


Yeah? When? When you win lotto???

As far as your new ride, if
it is in fact a true story, that Beneteau is nothing more than a
european Hunter. And that's a fact!

In case anyone thinks Loco knows boats...he just said that a First
series 35s5 is comparable to a HUNTER!!!

And that leaves us with one big BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

That's correct dude. They are sold as step up boats here while in
europe they are looked at as Hunters. It's sort of like BMWs great
marketing skills. They too are sold as step up cars here while in
europe they are as thick as Toyotas and they are used by police and
taxi companies.

So please tell us which Hunter has the speed and build quality of the
First 35s5, First 345 or 35s7 or even Donal's more recent model based
on your inspections of them. This should be interesting!
Hold on, folks! We're about to learn something!

(I'll get to BMW idiocy later. The guy bought a Lincoln. Nuff said.)

What a twit. Boob, when will you realize that everybody is not
resigned to a life in a 5th floor walkup like you. My investments are
my lotto. I've been to the BVIs every year for the past 10.

Wow! One of the cheapest trips around! Everyone's really impressed!
We're going to Trinidad (our friend is launching her boat there after a
3 year restoration) in July and then Greece for our honeymoon, but then
travel is always cheap for anyone who's done better than you! Do you
know that my 4th floor apartment (sorry, there's elevator and doorman)
is worth more than your whole net worth? We own it in Forest Hills, but
don't live there anymore. You might want to check property values
there...Charles Schumer, Hillary Clinton, Geraldine Ferraro all live
here. Who lives in your niegbhorhood? Uncle Buck???
You've done well, Loco. A crappy Lincoln and still-born Depress 30.
Well done, old man!


RB

Apartments of your type in your area go for $180,000 -220,000. I can post
the appraisers valuation from the NYC dept of Taxation if you like.

That's less than the median price of a home in the US.

That's almost 1/3 of the median price of a home in the NY metro area.

Face it, you own the least expensive housing in the NY area. The next step
down is a cardbox box under the supports of the Tri-Boro Bridge.

On top of that, you think living aboard a 50K$ smallish sailboat in a
crowded New York City marina is "lifestyle".

I think you are an ideal candidate for "Extreme Makevoer".

We own a 3 bedroom apartment in Kew Gardens. Current selling prices are
over 300K and 2 were just sold. You can get apartments for around 200K,
but not in our building so close to Forest Park. Saying you can get a
real estate in a given area for a median price shows total ignorance
about the market. The average cost of a home in PA where my father
lives is almost half the value of his specific property. We own the
apartment outright as well as a 3 bedroom home in Brooklyn that I
inherited. Currently we live rent free in my wife's apartment, which
she bought 9 years ago. We're also about to own our 35s5 outright and
we own our 37K new Subaru SUV, WRX outright. As soon as Suzanne has two
years in at her critical care unit, we'll be buying a 3rd home,
probably in Mahopac. Not too shabby for someone working from home and
just 42 years old. If this sort of stuff matters to you I have younger
friends who are truly wealthy, but they work harder than I do.
And yes..we have a nice boat and an even nicer one planned after we
move!

Cheers!

LOL........... That's not worth more than anybody's net worth unless
they are homeless. Small condos in my area go for $500k+, townhouses
even more. Single family homes are selling for $800k+. I'd hate to
make you feel bad by posting my country estates value.

Yes, loco, that's very impressive. I'm sure we're all impressed. But
I'm only 42 and my net worth is considerable. My home in Brooklyn is
worth about 850K as of two years ago, perhaps even more now. Add that
to the apartment. Since your retired I hope you're comfortable.

RB

Not at all since we own two other properties including the house in
Brooklyn. Face it, we've started where most of you gave finished. And
it'll only get better from here. I'm the ONLY person in this group who
is likely to own a Swan or a Baltic and actually sail it offshore. The
rest of you are phonies who will be posting here until well after your
last crappy boats are sold or dying in some forgotten yard.
