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.

I made it to the 8th grade, fool!



The space one letter or number takes up is a space.

Where does it say that?

You have a space bar
on your keyboard. When you touch the space bar does it
insert a
half-dozen spaces?

Yes, if I hold it down.

Jealous of a poor little 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?

Good for you, Richard...you can feel proud that you've brought back an

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

Richard

We had a 1078 O'Day that we sailed for 7 years...was a great boat EXCEPT
for the Bomabastic 4...the ONLY good thing about them is that they are
fixable...over and over and over and over again...and then over again
some more...interiors in those are pretty easy to fix..most of that era
used some type of vinyl for bulkhead covering so is very easy to strip
and replace...I did ours with some heavy industrial ulpholstery material
and industrial strength fabric glue. Cusion recovering, if you don't do
them yourself is pricey. A bad looking sole can be covered with
carpeting with Velcro stickies on it to keep it in place but needs to be
pulled up when you're not there so mildew deosn't set up undeneath...In
that year Catalina, you could probably find a much better boat for not
that much more, so keep looking...

Wilber,

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

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.

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.

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

Now take your hateful self-serving attitude somewhere else.

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



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


Did I get it wrong?

Or somebody hiding behind a net-name?



zzzzzzzgoogle Capt Neal, Neal Warren, the Cedar Bucket, etc. And be
warned...

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

Look up the difference between an "em" space and an "en" space.
(M-space and
N-space)

CWM


NMNMNMNMNMNMNM
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Minor and insignificant, at least on the font I'm looking at (Comic Sans
MS) though there is a slight difference. So leave the space of the
widest letter for the space between TX 2151 NM but don't leave half a
dozen spaces and make it look like some retard did it.

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...

I rebuilt a Cal 20 pretty much from the hull up, and while it was a
rewarding experience, I don't think I want to do that again. g
