The Whole Point: Why not a cruising Multi?
 

Sailing is about beauty. If you don't get that you miss the whole point
of sailing as a recreational activity. We buy a boat for no practical
reason. Oh, we can defend the sailboat with many arguments. A person or
family does need an outlet, a way to relax one's mind, to bring friends
and family closer. But there are less expensive ways to do that than
owning a yacht. And that brings us back to beauty. Picture a sailboat
in your mind; a long slender crescent moon topped with an impossibly
large triangle of cloth, a floating pendulum of grace designed to
harness the power of the wind. It's quite an amazing thing really. The
experience, as a boat heels over in that first gust of wind, sails
powering up, the dramatic effort as tons of hull balances and slices
through the water, is nothing less than orgasmic.
Sailing isn't about speed. It isn't about comfort and sure as hell
isn't about how far you sail. You could spend a lifetime sailing on a
small lake and never need anything more. Or you could sail across an
ocean. It's all the same as it all brings you back to that first magic
moment. The rest, all the rest are only details.
If you want to get there faster, buy a speedboat. If you don't like the
heeling, buy a trawler. The beauty of sailing is in the inefficiency of
it all in a world that forces us to be efficient, the impractically in
a life that demands practicality. Trying to force practicality onto a
sailing vessel is like adding a trailer to a Jaguar E Type, or adding a
hull and taking away the heeling and beauty of a sailboat.
So...two all the aspiring dreamers out the Stay away from a boat
like Jeff's. It's an abomination. It's ugly plain and simple. Want to
be practical? Buy a minivan, but don't tarnish a dream of sailing with
a boat that looks and sails like one. Buy a sailboat that fits your
dream, that picture in your mind. It can be a Catalina 30 or a Rhodes
19 or a lavish Sweden 39. The joys of a keelboat are boundless. There
are SUV's that are faster than a Miata, but no one seeking a sportscar
would trade that feeling for extra seats....except maybe Jeff.

You know, bs, a multi would, in all honestly, suit
your current situation better. Huge platform for
entertaining at the dock, more space for guests
while underway, it would have the speed to say you
like, and it would be safer for Suzanne's kid.
Rather than picking on Jeff, you should be
seriously looking at what he has. Or, maybe you
have and the jealousy is what drives your endless
abuse.

Why would I want a boat that's not attractive, little fun to sail and
has more room inside than we need? A trawler is safer still, so I guess
I should just do what doug did. Once again, you make no sense out of

The Whole Point: Why not a cruising Multi?
 

Aw be adventurous... it's Sunday! It might unlock a "superpower" you didn't
know you had! :-)

I'm going up to make breakfast now.... thick cut slices of bacon from my
buddy's pigs [ he finished them off with last year's maple syrup, carrots,
milk and apples] I got a 150 lbs of home-grown pork in the freezer. I'll
also fry up some fresh eggs... fresh like I go out and collect them from the
chook coop. The lady up the road trades us fresh home baked bread for
eggs.... I'll slice some of that up and toast it.... does that ever go down
nice with homemade butter and the jams/jellies we made last month.

Are you replacing it with a larger one? (Serious question, not a dig!)


Yep. The original is tiny, so we need to upgrade in size. The hoses are
also original, so now is a good time to replace with new. When spring
comes I want as little worry about as possible, so I'm planning to do
lots of stuff now.
Also on the schedule:
Install new stereo head unit with Ipod and DVD
Install 20 inch LCD flat screen and 7 inch screen aft.
Install Garmin 192
Install additional interior lights
Replace spreader lights
Re-repair original thru-hull for AC which was relocated.
Set up genset platform for quick installation of Genset and pre-wire.

No cats here... but yes on the dogs.

Fresh churned in Sweetland by another buddy of mine who has a small farm.
Man that butter is good! I get my beef from him and he also keeps milk cows
.... so I can get fresh unpasturized straight from the cow and either buy a
big s/s jug or a few old fashioned glass milk bottles full. Once you taste
real milk fresh.. it's hard to look at store bought as anything but a
bottled beverage. I also get cured ham and bacon as well as smoked salmon
from my friend's next door neighbour.

We try and buy only from small private farms. These people live from their
farms and the products they provide are superior.

I can't see buying from retail chains that dye and soak their meat in brine
to add weight. Their meat was commercially raised with no thought to the
welfare of the animals other than end product value. You won't see mad cows
in a small farm.

People like Bob for instance have never had the opportunity to taste
anything fresh. His diet is a pre-packaged, chemical added, mislabelled
cacophony of manufactured food substitutes. The meat he consumes is old, the
fish stale and the eggs bland and sterile. Bob has never killed, butchered
and eaten his own food. He does not understand the basic tenets of providing
a good life to the farm animals and a quick death prior to use. This goes
for hunting as well... I can't understand "Trophy" hunts at all.

I can already hear Bob's protests... but let's face it... he "Trophy" hunts
for toys, he settles for less for his family's food requirements, he has
time on his hands because he lets his real obligations slip. It's sad... but
it's the life of a city slicker... where appearance, perceived status and
material possessions make the man. Us country folk prefer to judge a man on
his word, his work ethic and attention to responsibilities.

Btw - Breakfast was FANASTIC!! Big tasty orange/yellow yolks, I like to put
a bit of garlic chives which we grow outside in the summer on the eggs along
with grated Gouda cheese which we buy in 30lb Rounds. The 1/8" thick bacon
slices were superb and the toasted homemade bread with homemade butter and
homemade apple/pear jelly... was to die for. Did I mention we have six
different kinds of apple trees growing around the house and 4 pear trees.

a warm winter. They expect it to be the warmest in 30 years. It warmed up
already and should be 11c in another hour.

The Whole Point: Why not a cruising Multi?
 

In essence:

The life you lead is not the one you chose and sailing is the only element
of your life you feel you have control, yet it is inefficient and at the
mercy of the elements.

Sailing is about beauty, in fact it is the whole point. Beauty abounds in
loading the family into a large, mass produced piece of plastic and entering
the waters crowded with others just as lost, sailing upon an ocean of
sewage, breathing the air of one of the world's most polluted cities and
then driving along the freeways packed with 11 million other drivers.

Now he's trying to correct an unbalanced lifestyle by buying a boat. Guess
what Robbie.

His whole spiel is amazingly contradicted by his antics on this forum. His
actions patently betray his words.

Nice try, go compose something else. Sailing may be about beauty to some,
but what is your life to you? Appreciating fine things you say? But then you
are simply a spectator, riding on the backs of those who come before you.
Appreciating the best life has to offer? Again you are living by handouts.

Amen!

Sounds like good eating Mooron. Come down here some day and Ill show
you what beef is suppose to taste like.
Nothing like a fresh grain feed Angus Ribeye aboout 2" thick cooked on
Mesquite chips. A buddy has a nice ranch close to here in a town called
Cut & Shoot.

When you say you can not understand Trophy hunts at all, were you able
to discuss with your father how he felt about killing that Elephant?

We like or scrambled eggs mixed with spicy whitetail deer sasauge,
covered with fresh salsa made from 2 garden tomatoes ripe and red, 1/2
a Texas AM sweet white onion, 1 clove garlic, 1/4 red or green
bellpepper, half a hand full of chopped fresh cilantro, 2 fresh
jalepeno's, juice from 1/2 a Texas valley lime, and a dash of salto.
All rolled up in a 12" fresh baked Tortella.

Fresh squeezed OJ from Valley oranges... 20 for a 1.00 right now. Oh
and the grapefruits from the valley are the best on earth.

Sets the stage nicely for an afternoon of Corona beer, and an evening
with Jose Queavo.

the yolks. Chop the whites up, put on toast, pour cheese sauce over
them, and crumble yolks over the top.

Serve with a side of fresh beacon and fresh perked coffee; ----- and
get ready for Sunday Football ( if you can get "Yankee TV")

I've made myself hungry enough now but I don't have fresh home made
bread or eggs or beacon. I'll have to make do. Fresh biscuits will help.

hull and taking away the heeling and beauty of a
sailboat.

That's just a dumb statement. You're envious that Jeff's
Moby-Dock has
more real estate than your Dock-Condo

So...two all the aspiring dreamers out the Stay away
from a boat
like Jeff's. It's an abomination. It's ugly plain and
simple. Want to
be practical? Buy a minivan, but don't tarnish a dream of
sailing with
a boat that looks and sails like one. Buy a sailboat that
fits your
dream, that picture in your mind. It can be a Catalina 30
or a Rhodes
19 or a lavish Sweden 39. The joys of a keelboat are
boundless. There
are SUV's that are faster than a Miata, but no one
seeking a sportscar
would trade that feeling for extra seats....except maybe
Jeff.

"joys of a keelboat"???..... this coming from a fin keeler
is nothing
short of hilarious.

I know , I know... you sat here and crafted this lure for
Jeff. I
apologize.... there was just so little in the way of posts
here that I
decided to reply.

The Whole Point: Why not a cruising Multi?
 

I'm all for hunting for food... I got venison in the freezer. I used to get
my 5 caribou every year up north. Like my native friend said to a new guy
hunting with us when the dude exclaimed.. look at the antlers on that
one..." you can't eat the antlers"

Well thats good news, I thought he was just collecting Ivory, Umbrella
stands and braclet making supplies.

We have so many deer down here they need some serious culling to
protect drivers. I saw a huge doe a few days ago next to Johnson Space
center, She had been hit by a car and had a rear leg swinging on just
skin with the bones broke. I did not have a rifle in the car and tried
to get the guards at NASA to shoot her. She ended up running into the
bush while the guards stood there with there thumbs up there asses.
