Man it must suck big time... no dodger, no rail cloths around the
cockpit or
rail webbing for lil Thom.

Thomas is not permitted out of the cockpit.

Not even a bimini.

We have a bimini, just not installed.

The worst though is you seem
to have no cockpit cushions. Generally those items are included on a
second
hand boat like yours.


That's the worst? We thought it was the fact that we're buying 2 new
sails cuz the mylar is ugly? Glad you think it's cushions...which we
have, BTW!


Good Grief Bobsprit..... no wonder you've never been beyond a day sail with
your posting regime to this group.

Well, if you're gonna just lie with your bare face hanging out....

I was dockside today

Of course you were!

.... doing some electrical work on Overproof .

That project boat will always be a project I'm afraid.

Somebody
decided to step aboard without permission.

Wow. I have to tell you I can't even imagine anyone boarding a boat
without permission. That fella was probably after more than a "look"
and his lie about a closer look is pretty funny. He needed to stand on
the boat for a closer look? Let's be honest. He saw a Nordica and new
you must have every kind of tool on board to keep the thing going. He
as probably looking to take them. You may want to get bigger dogs or
cheaper tools!


BWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!!! Nordica....The boat project for a lifetime!

Even though you just posted that you were busy with "projects" of your own
on Heart of Gold. I would be prone to follow your method of selling and
buying instead of maintaining my current boat.... except that I'm so happy
with Overproof that I rather enjoy the "projects" and routine maintenance
involved.

I'd say.."see you out there".... but you never get far enough away from your
dock for that situation to ever materialize. ;-)

Hmmmm. I don't think tightening a windex and installing new gear (such
as a second station mic and Ipod) equate to the poor Nordica's
cavalcade of upkeep, repairs and wiring/wood/glass issues and leaks.
Let us not compare apples to oranges when all you have is a rotted
Cumquat.

Well... teak doesn't rot and the boat doesn't leak. Straightening a Windex
is routine maintenance and installing upgrades is a project... much like
replacing cable to the secondary nav light system.[which by the way was
installed when I purchased the boat] Seems to me like you have as many of
the "cavalcade of upkeep" situations that you claim I have!

Nonetheless.... you purchased a very barebones boat. It appears bereft of
the basic equipment. You'll have your work cut out just installing the base
requirements for day sailing..... let alone attempting to meet Cat.-I specs.

I must say..... for a plastic sailboat, nothing speaks low maintenance like
a 35s5.
I bet the Mac26X sailors are envious of you.

Isn't this a lie, Mooron? Haven't you written that the interior quality
of the Nordica is poor and you've done much to repair it?
My projects took about 15 minutes. Yours?

Give me a break with that tired old boat. No one buys one unless they
are both ignorant and poor.

Mine involve more than lifting a corner of shelf liner, applying a spot of
glue and pasting.

BTW- The shot of your Nav Station is nothing short of hysterical! A
wonderful example of tiny,shiny and gaudy. The staged acoutrements were a
glaring proclamation of your incapacity to understand basic navigation.
