Do you use the term "millionaire" defined as "annual income over $1m; or
the traditional net worth over $1mil?

If the latter, I know of two also, and two more that are very probable.
I wonder if either of them are the same two!

But don't get Bubbles upset, his mom bought him this computer at the
pawn shop and he's trying to have fun with it.

Lotta moola back then

At 5% annually since 1957, it would have just passed the 1 million mark
last year, looking at (substitute dollar for pound sign, which I can't
find) $1,092,283.81

See now that's not so much, is it ;)

One might if one gave a hoot.

OTOH one might point out that you were selling a garage full of old
sailing gear at one point in time.

Frankly, I don't care who is or isn't rich. This may sound kinda dumb,
but I enjoy talking about sailing!

That's just the tip of the iceberg. I inherited quite a nice stock
portfolio and a collection of gold coins that I've had insured for
400K. ....

Kind of like Bush bragging about being rich and living in the White House
don't you think?

Nope...I wish only good things for my fellow sailors. We've had some
good luck and I hope others do too. I even wish good things for Loco
and hope he gets a nice boat someday soon.

That's nice to hear... and I hope you get a nice boat someday as well...
once the Fin Keel Fever subsides! :-)

If I ever want to slow down, sail only in heavy air or want a dock
condo I will consider a full keeled boat. For now I own a boat more
luxurious than yours by mile and faster by 1000 miles!
In ANY conditions my boat will trounce a Nordic 30, which was even
slower than my Pearson 30!

Good grief, man!

If you own a C&C 35s5... then you own a dock condo Bob.
Fast?? ...don't make me laugh.. it hurts my aching shoulder. You don't race
Bob... why would fast matter? It's veneer and thin plastic. It has no
redeeming characteristics and is severely limited in use. My Nordica is
faster than your last boat..... and way faster than your previous vessels.

Face it... you have a rather plain variation on a generic mold knock-off
that's only suited to harbour can races and day sails.

I rarely place my boat to a slip Bob... it's either sailing or moored when
in the water. Your AC C&C is designed for a Martha Steward dockside diva
lifestyle and you know it! My boat is designed to be sailed.

C&C 35s5 = quick, generic harbour skiff knock-off

Nordica 30 = Grace, Comfort, Style and Classic Lines

Fast = fun. It also means pointing upwind higher than your boat and
better VMG on every tack. Let me put it another way...

Pearson 30 PHRF ..........174
C&C 32 PHRF ................160
First 35s5 PHRF .............126 (bye bye!)
Nordic 30 PHRF..............180 !!!!!!

My new boat blasts your sea snail out of the water. You've got a slow
boat to China there, bub. She's a sea anchor who dreams she's a
sailboat. She has more wetted surface than a Blue whale and weighs
almost as much. She has barely enough sail area to catch flys, let
alone a breeze. The Nordic 30 is pretentious driftwood, a scab of
plastic masquerading as a real sea boat. For her, upwind is a direction
you can point to, but never sail to. And weather helm? Don't get me
started! I read the reviews. Keep the motor running unless you enjoyed
the movie "Sideways" enough to follow suite. Slow, plodding and dull is
the Nordic 30...perfect for the aged sailor with a compromised pair of
knees. I "like" the Nordic 30, just as I like a Cape Dory 30. But I'm
always glad someone else bought one and lives with the compromises
instead of me.
