whereas others buy them to fullfill an image or some
other bizarre need.

Bizarre is right!
On idiot claims he doesn't cruise, then buys a Express 30 telling
everyone how nice the cabin is. Still no nice pics of the Express 30
interior to be found. This guy certainly had better boats to suit his
type of sailing.

Another idiot takes a small, but tidy sum and buys a TRAWLER, fer
cripes sake!

Another fool, claiming to be a sailor, runs out and spends on a
Catalina 28. That has to be among the dullest boats ever designed.

Yet another clown admits his PDQ 36 is now overkill (and still claiming
he wished for the bigger one!). He also says he motors when doing less
than 5 knots and sails small boats when he wants "sailing fun!" Holy
jumping jelly beans, Batman!
