There's more Seawards than you can shake a stick at at: http://www.boattraderonline.com/
I put "sail" and "Seaward" in the search boxes and about ten came up..

It's none of my business but it sounds like you might be paying too much... ;-)

Cheers,
Ellen

When I last did a search, plenty of Seawards came up but almost no
RK's came up. It ain't the same boat. Don't think the RK's have been
out that long.

My mistake. I thought he was looking for a 25. They look the same. There can't be much difference though. The 25 only has two
feet of draught.

I don't see one 26' on that site.

Are you trying to look stupid on purpose?

You'd be doing him a bigger favor if you could find him one
with properly built chainplate structural ties.

The hulls are pretty much the same but the rig, keel, deck,
& cockpit configuration are quite different. I ma not
familiar enough with the 25 to see where they squeeze it in,
but the 26 feels a lot more roomy.

Why are you talking like Boobsprit again?

I think you should go back READ my posts "attempting to bash
Seawards," in which I said that a close look at the real
boat would be the way tell how well they're built.

Why are you being evasive and intellectually dishonest

It's being "evasive and intellectually dishonest" to use my
own statements to show clearly what I've said?

You're accusing me of "bashing Seawards." I gave you my
exact words on the subject and asked if that was "bashing."

Now you're changing the subject and trying to obfuscate, as
well as piling on additional unfounded accusations.

No, I asked you to explain youir statements about the chainplates

Why?
All I did was mention that another person *had* looked
carefully at the construction on a Seaward and found one of
those details wanting.


your first hand knowlege

My first hand knowledge is not the issue, although I have
sailed a few Seawards and been on many more, made a close
inspection of a few.

My statement to the boat-buying public was that they should
take a good look for themselves rather than take your
exclamations of tremendously high quality (and Bobsprit's by
odd coincidence) seriously.




Now, can you tell us more about those imaginary chainplates

Are they imaginary, or are they on a real boat that a real
person checked out? Since you apparently wrote a message to
the TrailerSailer forum about it, you thought it was real too.

Where then do they attach the shrouds?
