men say.

Impressive. That's a nice airplane. Is your new sailboat that expensive?
Did you get a big Swan? I wanna crew on a Swan 75. :-)

Most of us worked hard all out lives and bought our boats
ourselves...many life lessons to be learned by doing things that
way...announcing that ones Pater Familias bought his spoiled brat a boat
to keep him out of the mansion just doesn't sit well with most with good
work ethic and who know the value of things...Maybe if you rephrase your
scenario to something like: I have just acquired a sailboat and would
like to sail the Med
and around Europe...you would get some more coherent and helpful
replies...We, the arrogant, suffer arrogancey not in those that haven't
earned their keep here yet...
