doesn't specify the length of the space, does it?

Another grade school drop-out squeeks . . . Listen up, fool!

The space one letter or number takes up is a space. You have a space bar
on your keyboard. When you touch the space bar does it insert a
half-dozen spaces? No it does not, it inserts one space. It inserts the
space of one letter or number.

Looks like a boat owned by your everyday typical moron.


Can't even apply

the registration numbers with the proper spacing. Nothing


says stupid

and inattentive louder than mis-applied registration


numbers.


Nothing says 'jealousy' louder than this post.

It don't mean nothing, Scotty.
I've seen the stuff he posts.

Just consider the source and ignore him.



Yes, that's the solution. Just ignore it when you're confronted with
being incapable of following simple instructions. Maybe if you paid
attention instead of ignoring instructions you would not look so
stupid by virtue of resulting erroneous actions.

Wilber,

Those numbers were on there 20 years before I bought her.

And how hard is it to scrape them off and do it right? Doesn't your boat
which looks pretty good otherwise deserve to have registration numbers
put on correctly?



She was in pretty sad shape when I got her. Rigging all kinked and
broken, filthy dirty, rudder pintles broken off, and some parts
missing. But the hull and deck were sound. I've spent most of last
year getting her in reasonable shape.

You did a pretty good job. She looks great except for the registration
numbers which look like an idiot put them on. Since you are not the
idiot who put them on why continue the idiocy by leaving them that way?

At the end of this season I'll pull her out and paint the hull.
At that time I will replace the numbers - but for now I'm going
to enjoy sailing her - as is.

I would be ashamed to be seen in a sailboat with crap registration
number placement. If you can't afford new numbers and letters with the
correct spacing even if you're going to scrape them off the end of the
season when you paint it then you are just one of the masses who
demonstrate by their actions that they have little pride in what they
do.

If you don't like it, well, tough!

And, if you don't like being criticized then straighten out the
stupidity on your boat.



Now take your hateful self-serving attitude somewhere else.

No. I take it where I choose to take it. It's still a free Usenet the
last time I looked.

Because even if you are right about something, your attitude
is such a turn off that NOBODY is going to listen to you.

That makes you look all the sadder. Refusing to take action to make
legal (you can be ticketed for improper registration numbers) and make
respectable what you sail just because your temper gets in the way is
childish and not worthy of a sailor. Grow up. If the criticism is
invalid that's one thing. But valid criticism is to be taken to heart.

Good for you, Richard...you can feel proud that you've brought back an
unsailable boat and seek the fun of the experience before having to have
a perfect vessel..

Oh baby, it's a lot of work, but the results have been very satisfying.

For what it's worth, I looked at a Catalina 27 Saturday - 1977 I think.

_Asking_ price $3500 - negociable.

It's all there - and the hull looks sound. One small soft spot on the
deck near the aft port side of the deck house.

Atomic 4 runs - pretty smooth too.

Rig _looks_ good.

But-

She's been in the water for about 10 years without much care.

The interior is bad - real bad.

The main bulkhead doesn't quite reach the floor anymore, and the front
sole is rather - well - thin?

No way I can part that one in the driveway for a year or so for a total
restoration.

But if someone has the space, time, and money, she's certainly available.

And the price, as I said, is negociable :)

SOme cats like to sail...we had a guy who used to post

here who had a

Farr 40 and sailed out of Auckland...he had 2 cats that

regularly

cruised with him...

I took him out once, but he tried to climb the mast.
But couldn't get much traction on aulminum.
Very frustrated kitty!



help him out next time, stick a rocket up his ass and light
it.

Scotty


Houston, whe have a lift off!

Another first for the American space program...

I really like this boat.

No, jealous of cavesheep.

Now why would anybody be jealous of some Rube who can't
follow simple
instructions?


Cause he has a nice boat with a nice babe in it?


The boat looks good other than those dumb registration numbers. The lady
looks fair, but I've seen better. . .

Next time, use Neal, since that's who was posting.

Did I get it wrong?

Or somebody hiding behind a net-name?

For what it's worth... that would have to be very, very
negotiable... for all the work you'd need to do....


I kinda suspect that the price could be negociated down to about a buck
hard cash. The owner seemed quite "motivated".

But iit would take quite a pile more to put her back ship shape...
