I have to admit...Bob Crantz sure hit the nail on the head. You all get
played because you truly want to be treated as you wish.

In a small village a man was introduced to the town "nut."
"He'll do anything for 10 cents." The local explained, then asked,
"Hey, old fool, do us a dance!"
The town nut proceeded to do a spastic dance almost hurting himself in
the process.
"You see!?" The local gave the nut his 10 cents and walked off.
Feeling pity for the nut, the man pulled him asside and said, "Say,
here's a dollar. Next time tell that jerk to stick it up his ass!"
The nut winked and patted his pocket. The sound of many dimes could be
heard.
"Now why would I ever want to do that. If I did, those losers would
stop giving me dimes!"

And so...my "dimes" are the laughs I get watching you all spin and
kick, spit and yell as you foul yourselfs in an ever failing effort to
"get to me." You never do and never will. This is a newsgroup and only
two of you actually know me in "real" life. It's obvious that for Loco,
Scotty, Bart, John, and many others...this is actually part of their
real life...and that's almost as sad as it is funny. Almost!

So fire away, losers! At the end of the day I'm still a happy bloke
with a beautiful wife, and a better sailboat. None of you were able to
do as well and most of you are a LOT older. When I think of folks like
John with his Catalina, Loco with his tired dated Depress 30, Dough
with trawler, Jeff with his Cat (!!) or Bart with his project
boat....man, I'm a lucky guy!

HEY! You left out me and my Siedlemann 30. I'm so hurt.

HEY! You left out me and my Siedlemann 30. I'm so hurt.


Hey, you made me feel bad about it a couple of days ago, so you're off
the list!

Siedlemann 30
A Vastly underrated boat that has been wrongly compared to US Yachts
and Bayliner. If Siedlemann was guilty of anything it was in joining
the me-too market rather than designing more notable alternatives. The
30 competes well enough with a Catalina 30 and while it does little
better, it might actually present with fewer problems over the years.
Because of it's lack of marketing these boats are often available at a
3rd of the cost of a Catalina 30 and it's hard to argue their relative
value at that point. Owners with less cash often take a risk with these
boats and end up pleasantly surprised that a harsh market
interpretation was based on hearsay rather than facts and experience.

RATINGS:

Build quality ***
Performance ** 1/2
Value ****

RB
35s5...a boat that rated ****!

Pride commeth before the fall . . . Brag on, Booby!
