Default I really like this boat.

http://www.stormloader.com/users/gre...ara/index.html 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

I thought that you liked the 26 better. What ever happened to your old
baby-****-colored Crapanado?

My boat's a Renken Tangerine. It's red/white/blue. The name's Elle Niño.

I couldn't see the pics in the link. Is there something I need to make sure
I have in order to view?

As for the boat I can't say that it is my particular choice in boat but it is
nice and actually is a sailboat as opposed to the Mac. I saw one of those
and I really was dissapointed that anyone would do that to fiberglass then
call it a boat. really I lost a little faith in humanity.

It would look ever so much better after the application of a couple of
gallons of bright yellow paint.

Homely looking, but at least it is a sailboat.

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?

As for the boat I can't say that it is my particular choice in boat but it is

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. I was looking at the
Sailboat Trader catalog and check this out: 30ft Grampian Marine 1972 17,500$,
Newport 30 1981 18000$, lots of Catalina 30s for less than 20000$, Endeavor 32
1978 24000$, Rawson 33 1972 15500$, 1978 Hunter 33 14500$, 1981 Custom
Steel 34ft no rust 25000$, and on and on.
"I'm stupid" is what they tattoo on your forehead when you buy a MacGregor....

Cheers,
Ellen
