Hey Robert, after delivering the C&C121 I posted an ad on the board
saying I would deliver boats at a rate of 350 an hour, not really
interested in or expecting much more work.

Low a behold the owner of a brand new first 37.5 asked me to take his
boat down to Galveston in the AM. I told him it would be a 3 hr trip
and he said OK.

The name of the boat is Orta Ves...

Is that a sign?

Around here there are dozens of semi-retired captains
wanting delivery work. Some of them seem to make pretty
regular trips, I'm on a few of their crew lists... get asked
about once a month on average.

You mean a First 36.7? Or one of the older First series?

Seems like a funny name for a boat. Anyway a 3 hour tour
(everybody sing along ... "a 3 hour tour, a 3 hour tour") is
not enough to thoroughly evaluate a boat, but it would be
interesting to see your opinion of these boats after
checking one out.

IMHO most of the First series (not the new 36.7) have too
small a cockpit, but they are pretty good sailers.

Doug, you're full of it. You've probably NEVER sailed a First Series
Beneteau and who'd believe you now unless you posted a VIDEO of it?
Ah, well. Enjoy the trawler, Doug. I'm sure you'd "claim" that you do
in any case.
You've turned out to be the biggest fraud around, Doug. Care to measure
the 35s5 cockpit and seat layout vs. a Catalina 36??? Try the 345 while
you're at it. Donal's 33.7 seats 5 people just fine. I've been aboard
two.
I've rarely spotted such a wannabe. You talk about boats that you've
read about or seen on jackstands as though you know them from a major
passage. What happened to the 35s5 at your yard you were going to sail?
HMMMMM?
Exactly right. BUSTED again is Doug.

The jokes on you, because I'm not.

Well, let's just say

1- I've sailed more than you, including six or seven First
series... skippered a couple in races for that matter... you?

2- I don't care if you (or anybody who wasn't with me at the
time) believes me, because I'm not some internet whacko
trying to impress others with big talk.

The owner sold it and got a Jeanneau. I never did sail that
one, never said I did.

Bubbles, you're nuts.

Well let's just say that amazingly you says 6 OR 7 which is the same
number I've sailed. Interesting that you should give that vague number.
Oh, and I OWN a First series Beneteau, Doug. You begged a few rides.


2- I don't care if you (or anybody who wasn't with me at the

Really...OH REALLY, they why do you feel the need to defend yourself
each and every time? Doug, I know your type very well. I put on a show
here to be sure, but you really are the wannabe sailor fraud as
charged. And now you own a powerboat. The circle now is complete!

Man, just in the nick of time, right, Doug!!!??? Even your generalized
statement that First Series boats "sail well" was dumb and useless. How
about those J-Boats? Do they sail well too? Maybe you'll let the cat
out of the bag and tell us they float well too!
Doug, you are the most insecure sailor since Sloco!

Do I?

As opposed to most of your statements, which not only are
dumb but also false?

How 'bout them Dawgs?

Some of them do.

... Maybe you'll let the cat

Sure.
Except for the J-24s that sometimes sink, that is.

Doug, you are the most insecure sailor since Sloco!


Indeed.
Notice that he's not an internet blowhard, either.

Bubbles, you're nuts.
