Default I really like this boat.

Homely looking, but at least it is a sailboat.

l I think older
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.

Cheers,
Ellen

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.

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?

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.

Cheers,
Ellen
