Not higher than 40 degrees it won't!

Lets see those polars, boobie! I've already shown how a 407 and 99
don't really do any better than 45. Ranting on about how you have to
do 40 just shows that you're a total fool!

And not in light air AT ALL it
won't. Tedious tacking, poor in light air, numb helm boat!!!

I can live with my choice. It doesn't bother me that you might have
the best boat within 3 miles of your slip. But then, I can cruise the
entire world; you're stuck thinking that Execution Rock is the gateway
to "deep into the Sound"! BWHAHAHAHAHA!



You bought a "racer/cruiser" that might be a good racer but is
a below average cruiser.

While good performance is not open to wild interpretation with
sailboats,

According to what? Your fictitious book?

what makes a good cruiser certainly is. My friend cruises
his J30 and finds it to be perfect. Same for the tiny Bristol 27.

You always have a convenient "friend" that supports your every claim.
I'll bet you had an imaginary friend as a child!

Just
because you need a floating livingroom at sea, doesn't mean the rest of
the world wants that! Zikes!

You're just dripping with envy, aren't you boobie? Just because you
think you need a boat that points at 40 degrees, doesn't mean that
there's another non-racer that cares about it.

Its a good thing to, because your boat won't actually point at 40
degrees; not with that wing keel, and you know it! Even if your
compass says you're doing 40, you'll be making about 8 degrees of
leeway! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! cough choke ... Scuze me!




It has three staterooms, two with queen size bunks, all
with great ventilation, standing room and plenty of lockers.

It's a much bigger boat, Jeff, or do you thing boats are only measured
LOA?

That's why I've gone easy on you, Bob. I was taught not to make fun
of the less fortunate.




carry a dinghy on davits and a kayak on deck.

You have to. You sure won't have any fun sailing! Might I suggest
towing a J22?

I've always been partial to Solings.


So I ask the assembled masses: which boat has or will best fulfill its
intended purpose,

Our boat hasn't even been delivered yet, but based on your reaction to
it...I guess we win again!

You bought a "racer/cruiser" that might be a good racer but is
a below average cruiser. Given that its hard to call it a "great
performer."

Why is it hard? It won boat of year for it's performance and design.
Various magazines called it a performance boat. And that's what it is.
A J29 is also a performance boat, Jeff, even if I sail it on a pond or
stuff it in a hanger.

A head
and shower that you can actually use underway.

I used the head underway and in 20 knots. What exactly do you find
problematic? Are you unable to move your bowels or urinate on an angle?

I guess it helps to have a nurse around full time to clean you up.
