I'm Mark E. Williams and I own a Banshee 13 and sail it in Kansas on
local lakes.
I'm researching boats to be a boat bum on later in my life. :o) I'm
really favoring a PS Orion 27' at present. Mostly I lurk because my
boat doesn't have most of the stuff everyone talks about like a jib,
head, bilge and other interesting things I may have some day.
Mark
Mark, nice to meet you. I'm sure everyone here will tell you that the
best sailors learned on dinghys. Those that have only sailed keel boats
lack "feel". The Orion is a gorgeous boat (in my opinion). I would
have had one if there was one around at the right price. Any Pacific
Seacraft would be a good boat for a boat bum.

Scotty,

Pleasure meeting you. My ship was in Baltimore once with the NATO
Squadron. I did a bicycle ride from Baltimore to Norfolk and we went
through pig farming country. Smithfield hosted us and served us some
mighty fine Smithfield ham. I still look for it.

Gaz

I don't even have to say that you've got a nice boat!

Welcome aboard Gary. I'm Scout.
I've been posting here for 6 years, but not always as Scout.

I've lost: my sailboat in a card game, my kids to the education system, my
wife to a car accident, my hair to my genes, my back to hard labor, my
eyesight to middle age, my hands to carpal tunnel, my knees to football, my
teeth to sugar, my lungs to asbestos, my fortune to bad habits, and my faith
in government to G.W.

I rarely post anything here along the lines of sailing advice, but I have
gotten a lot of help here. I sometimes post with a different name when I
feel like slapping someone without dragging Scout into it. I don't like to
argue, but I do like to throw peanuts.

Scout
scout1 (skout) v. scout·ed, scout·ing, scouts. --tr. 1. To spy on or explore
carefully in order to obtain information; reconnoiter. 2. To observe and

Latin auscult³re.
scout2 (skout) v. scout·ed, scout·ing, scouts. --tr. 1. To reject with

Gary, don't believe everything you read here.

Mark,
A friend of mine was about to purchase a PS Orion
about a month ago. He was looking at one in
Rockhall, MD. He decided it wasn't bug enough as
he hoping some of his kids will come along with
him when he takes off. He's now looking at the PS
34 and 37.

Why? It's all grease and gas, bile, nits and nats, smiles, tits and tats,
miles, Bubbles and hats, trials, and occasionally a gem or two.

Nice boat, love the stove!

I started living aboard in 1981 on a San Juan 24 which we
cruised to Florida where we swapped it for a 1939 Tahiti
Ketch. We cruised the Tahiti back up to Maryland and sailed
it around the Chesapeake until about 5 years ago when we
bought a CT41. Until a couple of months ago I worked in the
boatyard next door, grinding bottoms and all that. The CT
needs a rig so nothing I say is worth listening to:^

Frank, no pseudonym or sockpuppets, been sailing for close to forty
years, no current boat, have owned three, last was Columbia 8.7M.
sailed many others, live in Mississippi.

I try to avoid (after realizing the futility of it) posting to
political trolls or Boob's puppet show. doesn't give me much to
respond to. I'd suggest you engage this site for entertainment and
not look for any worth in the ravings of any regulars. Although if
you ask an on topic question, knowledge abounds.

Looking for next boat. Katrina has slowed down my logistics plan for
getting that done.
