I dunno, I've never subscribed to the "more is better"
theory with regard to people.

We've chartered a couple of CC boats. It's different. I
personally don't care much for their looks or their handling
unless they're at least 45 feet, although there are a few
pretty cool smaller ones.

Something about the short CC boats that look fat, top heavy and
awkward. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I always liked the
look of the Endeavour 42 CC.

I chartered a Hunter Passage 42 CC and was actually surprised at how
well it sailed. I expected much less.

Regularly boobsprit drifts into areas he is mentally ill equipped to
be in and makes certain claims. Historically, in the admittedly few
times where my knowledge is greater than the average of the group, or
by virtue of personal experience I am the highest knowledge holder in
an area, I've challeneged his ridiculous assertions. For the most
part, those challenges have been ignored. I can only assume he is a
busted liar when that happens.

Yet he seems to have no qualms about belittling my opinions or
personal preferences where no claims are made. He can't seem to
distinguish the difference.

What a sad, pathetic little man.

What opinions? That CC boats under 45 feet look fat? Do masts also look
tall to you? What about razors...sharp? You have nothing new or
enlightening to offer here and everyone knows it. What boat do you
sail, Frank? Do you even OWN a boat????

Puhlease!

Well, since the answers to those questions, my sailing history and
past and current ownership, have been answered often and fairly
recently what could it be:

Boobsprit is an arrogant SOB who only reads those that post to his
trolls?

Boobsprit is suffering from ADD or possibly dumb as a post and can't
focus or remember anything?

Boobsprit has just tossed out another bait to see if I will get
defensive and defend my sailing resume?

Think I'll go with all of the above.

Sure sounds like an opinion to moi.

How do these analogies relate to his opinion about boats appearing fat? I
doubt if it's universally accepted that CC boats under 45' look "fat." To
the contrary, shorter CC boats have sold well over the years. S2 built a
bunch of 'em, so did Beneteau, Irwin, Morgan, and others. And obviously
some people thought they were attractive.

enlightening to offer here and everyone knows it. What boat do you

Some have been posing the same questions to you, IIRC.

Let me get this straight--this guy's an idiot because he expressed an
opinion, and it differs from your own?????

That's always been my take as well. One of the better-looking shorter CC
boats was S2's 35' Graham & Schlageter designed hull with a cruising CC deck
arrangement. And they were ultra fast downwind. Beyond that, I've never
though boats below about 44' looked good with CCs.
