Post a picture of your boat.

OK, off with the wraps for now.

Post rarely but catch up once a week or so. Started lurking in 1998 when
the Captain was in charge with his deplorable politics but eloquent
presentation of sailing lore.

Things havent been the same since Boobspittle has flexed his way in,
although, he seems human at times and even posted informatively once.

Sail a Catalina 28 out of Annapolis - my fourth sailboat.

Columbus, Oh
Mac 26S a superb boat, as bobsprit would say.
Actually it works quite well on the smaller inland lakes.

Pretty Lame there. Worth 3 points. More detail needed.
What is the name of the boat. Why do you think it is a
superb boat? Are you on drugs?


Actually the Mac 26 _S_ was a pretty good boat. You're
probably think of the _X_ model PowR-Sail-R.

I liked the daggerboard model better, but the main flaw of
the centerboard version was that the pennant was cleated
down inside the cabin, and the hatches were too flimsy to
step on. Plus they're a little on the tender side, but
they're sure not the only boat with that minor flaw.
Besides, some folks think heeling 'way over is fun.

That is good for 9 points. Keep going!

So Chopper doesn't like it now?

2. She is moored in the Pamlico SOund area.
3. I've been on Doug's trawler and it is a great boat and it even has a
mast!
4. Marinas in the Newport News area suck.
5. I like fishing off the back of the boat.
6. I'm gonna get a crab pot all my own.
7. Weather down here is sure a lot better than in Michigan!
8. Chopper liked living aboard.

How many more facts do you want?

Do you have a steadying sail for it Doug?

True.

Nope. IMHO they're not worth the stowage space, unless you
do make a lot of open water passages and then paravanes may
well be more effective.

True.

It may simply be that your standards are too high. I know of a couple
that aren't bad, but they're more expensive and they're in closer
proximity to Navy & commercial shipyards than you'd probably like.

Shh-sh-hh! Don't tell everybody or they'll all want to come here.

8. Chopper liked living aboard.


Personally, I'd award 2 points for raising such a good & smart dog, but
I'm not the one in charge.

How many more facts do you want?


How many have you got?

DSK

Hey, I could go on forever but then I'd get all the points and that
wouldn't be fair to the others....

Do you have any pictures of Chopper?

Yes...tons...but this is a binary group so I can't attach...

South and downhill from Amarillo about 200 miles. Amarillo is on the
highplains. I get up there every quarter or so.

you now way inland in the big state?

I occasionally lurk.

I sail an old rowboat with tarp sails. The nearest large body of water
is 1200 miles away.

Thanks to Bob Crantz for reminding me.

LURKER Check-In !!!

For those of you lurking out there. This is the
annual Lurker Check-in.

Lurkers are those that read posts but do not post
responses or start threads.

You don't have to post anything intelligent, just
your handle and location, include boat name,
type and model, if you have one.

This is your big chance to get easy points.

If you don't check in, nothing bad will happen to you,
you will just remain POINTLESS!

1 point award per fact you provide.

Those of you that have posted and do not have any
points at all, or you are not sure if you have any points,
you can check in now for free alt.sailing.asa newgroups
points.

I'll start by awarding Michael May 20 points for
his recent introduction.
