boats like this one have personality. They have staying power. They show the owner has
good taste. Why in the world would anybody waste money on a MacGregor26 when they
could have a real cruiser like this one.

Those older boats can be real solid and a great value. 25 footer is a
bit small for my taste, you need a 27 or larger to do some serious, yet
moderately comfortable cruising. Coronado has a reputation for solid
boats yet is affordable. They do have a small but loyal following.

I'll be damned!! The boat in the picture is the "Old Yellow- Banana
boat" painted White.

Look carefully at the supports for that Bimini Top. Still can't swing a
wench handle 360 degrees. Only one stupid person, we all know, would do
that to a boat. Would disable BOTH wenches that way and then call it a
"Blue WaterCruising Vessel.

Worst still show a picture to ASA again,thinking it wouldn't be noticed.

A Crapanordo painted Yellow or white is still a piece of **** that has
been made worst by dumb add ons.

What is happening in that picture? Why is the anchor dropped and the sails
raised?
Do you sail over the anchor to break it free from a muddy bottom?

No Thom, that actually is a Coronado 25. I was one of the early
Coronado's, quite popular and available as a kit.

For all the grief Neal gets about his boat, it really isn't that bad.
It was, after all, designed by Bill Tripp. Of course, Neal is
riding a bit low on his lines, but who isn't?

I anchored behind a little island that was blocking the wind. I left the sails up
so we could take pictures with the sails up. It was sort of slowly spinning round and round.
It's only about three feet deep where it's anchored. We just climbed off the ladder and
waded to the beach to take the pictures.

Ellen

Duh! Here's pictures from Captain Neal's web site. http://captneal.homestead.com/bristol.html
You gotta be pretty blind to think *Cut the Mustard* is the same boat as Kumara.

There's just too many differences. You'd better get your glasses checked, Tom.... Somebody told me
MSMTV has a little itty bitty picture. Like maybe 320X240. Maybe it's hard for you to see details on a
tiny picture on a television screen ????

Happy New Year.

I don't think you need anything but your browser. They come up OK for other
people. Your the first person that's said he can't see the pictures. What do you see?
Just a place holder? Maybe they're so hot your browser has them restricted?

Okay it didn't work at my office but it did at home. I just got a place
holder there but wow. Nice pics. I am pretty sure there was a boat in that
image. Is that really you?

I know what you mean. People waste 25K on junk like that when they could buy
a seaworthy, safe and comfy passage maker. Used, of course. *snipped*
"I'm stupid" is what they tattoo on your forehead when you buy a MacGregor....

I couldn't help but think that the MacGregor comes with a requirement that
all owners must wear large amounts of fake gold jewelry and a speedo at all
times while underway. It seems to me that you sail because you want to.
That being the case shouldn't the sailing aspects of the boat and the sailing
experience be the most important rather than convenience and cupholders?

It's really a guy named Neal who is so childish that he's pretending
(poorly) to be a woman.

Quite sad and pathetic actually...

Photoshop.
Notice the "oil-on-the-water" effect where the ripples are smaller on the
left with "Ellen"/Neal?

Nellen will just claim that's where her Coppertone washed off in the
water when she jimped in...after all, in her opinion, oil calms the
waves, right?
