What a Dump! The CS27
 

Oh my....just found this in the Sailnet archive!


We looked at two CS 27's, both in pretty good shape for their vintage.
The second one was as nice as they come, but it's just not an
attractive boat at all. To say it appears dated is an understatement.
It was ugly when released, so much so that some dealers wouldn't even
carry it. We only took one test sail. My wife and I have enough of an
eye that the 27 was just too offensive to hang on a mooring. Still, it
was another boat to sail and we set out in mostly mild conditions to
find that the little CS did sail rather well. There was nothing
exciting about it, but it sailed better and felt sturdier than it's
appearance might suggest.
We thought enough of ourselves to keep looking and finally bought a C&C
29, a better boat in every respect, though a bit more expensive.
Charles says that the CS reminded him of a capsized boat, but the C&C
is finely shaped and looks as good as it sails...which is better than
the smaller CS. The CS languished for quite a while at Brewer and
finally sold for 9K. At that price it's probably not a bad starter
boat, but I suggest you keep looking. Good luck, Barry & Maria.


BWAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!!!!! OH MY!!!!

So, BS, I gather it gets to you when I point out that there's no
substance
to you beyond your toys, eh?

Did you point that out? I must've missed it. Here, let me react:
Oweeee! You hurt my wittle feelings!

If the post is true, 9K is a helluva deal on a CS27 in decent
shape.


Hey, if you say so. The only interest I see for the CS27 is on the
association pages. Everyone likes the 36 though.

Dave, mon vieux,

We're political/philosophical opponents; but I do respect you acumen
and intelligence. So how did you ever let this slip past your filters?

"If the post is true, ..."

From BS? "True" and BS in the same post. Ack!

C'mon, you know better than that! grin

One of the points I try to make with my daughter is that
while we live in a
country that is said to have a "Judeo-Christian" heritage,
that term
includes a lot of cross-currents. In particular, the
"Christian" part
includes a dose of the New Testament's notion that one
should lay up his
treasure in heaven rather than on earth. The corollary is
that in the
dominant part of the culture it's considered to be in bad
taste, at best, to
make much of one's wealth or the cost of his possessions.
As a Jew she needs
to be sensitive to that sensibility to avoid flaming the
fires of
anti-semitism. BS apparently never got the memo on that
subject.

Yeah, just ask Mel Gibson.

I agree whole-heartedly...
Sounds like your daughter is very fortunate to have a father like you.

The bobsprit show of possessions was sickening...to say the least.

I have friends in Israel. He sails and has a son in the IDF. He is ex-IDF
and is subject to being called up. He sent me an e-mail about all of this
Hezbollah war stuff before I heard it on FOX news many hours later.

I hope the US steps up to the plate and do more for Israel!
