Your boat should reflect your status in life. . .
 

There are sailboats and there are sailboats. Your boat should be a
reflection of your own life's ambition. If you are just a poor schmuck
living in a double-wide in Pennsylvania then anything you can come up
with to sail I say more power to you. A working man has to do what he
can to get out on the water and should realize even an unnoteworthy
vessel is better than no vessel at all.

On the other hand, people of means should sail a boat that reflects
their status in life. Not only boats but autos, for example. If I hire a
financial advisor I will have more confidence in his abilities if he
arrives for a meeting in a Mercedes rather than a Kia. If go to a brain
surgeon for an operation I sure don't want to see the dude arriving in
an old Volkswagen. See what I mean? If I go to the Tour de France I
don't want see the pros riding a thirty-year-old Schwinn with balloon
tires. You expect people to have and use things that reflect their
wealth and station in life.

The same goes for lawyers. If I hire a lawyer and he shows up in court
to litigate for me wearing cut-offs and a t-shirt, I will quickly inform
him I no longer require his services. Any lawyer I hire had better show
up wearing a quality Italian suit, silk tie and patent leather shoes.

Keeping this in mind, don't you think it would be wise for a lawyer to
show up in this group with boat having a quality name. A Hinckley, a
Swan, a Wauquiez, a Morris, an Oyster, a Contest. You get the picture.
Could you honestly have much confidence in a lawyer who could not afford
one of the above or was so ignorant that he sailed a MacGregor 26? How
much confidence could you have in a man fighting in court for your life
or freedom who had such low standards and questionable IQ that, in his
everyday life, he actually bragged about owning and sailing Mac26?

Your sailboat is more than some lame toy. It should be and is, even if
you won't admit it, a reflection of the kind of man you are. That's why
I sail a Swan 68. I certainly would never retain a lawyer unless he
sailed something equivalent.

My ex's cousin was a financial wheeler/dealer. He would put together limited
partnerships, promise the investers all kinds of money.

He lived big. Big car, top floor condo overlooking the harbor, and he owned
a big boat which he didn't even know how to get the engine running..

He was sentence to 3-5 for fraud, etc.

He ended up driving a cab.

So much for your theory.

From the Nautor Swan Asia-Pacific website:
---------------------
The Swan 68 is a dynamic yachts which combines an elegance of line with an
astonishing level of performance and comfort. Even in a highly sensitized
world she represents sheer sailing pleasure.

Firstly on the drawing board, then at launch, and finally, after close
analysis by experts, Nautor Swan are acknowledged to be the finest of all
production sailing yacht. Owning a Swan, built to a standard by which rivals
are judged, is a universal ambition only a few can fulfill.

No. But how would you know? Usually Mac owners lie about

Has this group been totally taken over by trolls?

I'm just going clip-clop, clip-clop over the bridge. The trolls don't
bother me. They'll get my big brother who's coming along behind.

Besides, this group fulfills an important social function for the
betterment of society apart from its use as a great boating forum.
Without the benefits of socialised medicine as is available in
Australia and New Zealand whereby mental illness is treated at the
public expense; and without this group to focus his Walter Mitty
existance upon, Americans like Wilbur, aka the self appointed Captain,
would be sitting staring at the bulkhead of his imaginary Swan 68 (he
had an imaginary friend as a child) until one day, he would take the
gun that he so loudly exclaims is his constitutional right to possess,
and start shooting people in a shopping mall.

Also, he, without knowing it, makes me feel positively buoyant
whenever feelings of depression and self-doubt creep over the horizon
as it does to all on occassion. All I have to do is to read one of his
oft supercilious and vitriolic posts and say to myself " It could be
worse. At least I'm not an insignificant little man like Wilbur who
hates everyone including himself. There but for the grace of God go
I".

Nope, you see nothing, as usual. You view the world through your own
defective lens that makes everything warped, wavy and unclear. The ONLY
way people can be judged is by who and what they are. The who and what
they are can only be determined by their works. Their sailboat is one of
their works. Is that so difficult for your stunted brain to understand?
If a carpenter builds a chair that breaks when somebody sits on it then
he's a **** poor carpenter. His works prove it. If a sailor sails a
Mac26 when he can easily afford better it then he's a **** poor sailor.
His works prove it. He bought a ****ty boat. He may as well have built
it. It's not so much a matter of expense and name recognition as a
matter of quality. It just so happens quality becomes associated with
certain names.

I have an old boat (29 years old) that I built by myself and it and I

From a candid point of view:

To the untrained eyes, a boat may reflect your status or your indebtedness.

The real picture of your status is reflected by the size of your crew and

The guys at my local tire shop dress the same way. So do the part
time security guards at the factory.

Neal, didn't I see that same pic in "Trailer Park Living" magazine?

There are sailboats and there are sailboats. Your boat should be a
reflection of your own life's ambition. If you are just a poor
schmuck
living in a double-wide in Pennsylvania then anything you can come
up with
to sail I say more power to you. A working man has to do what he
can to
get out on the water and should realize even an unnoteworthy vessel
is
better than no vessel at all.

On the other hand, people of means should sail a boat that reflects
their
status in life. Not only boats but autos, for example. If I hire a
financial advisor I will have more confidence in his abilities if
he
arrives for a meeting in a Mercedes rather than a Kia. If go to a
brain
surgeon for an operation I sure don't want to see the dude arriving
in an
old Volkswagen. See what I mean? If I go to the Tour de France I
don't
want see the pros riding a thirty-year-old Schwinn with balloon
tires.
You expect people to have and use things that reflect their wealth
and
station in life.

The same goes for lawyers. If I hire a lawyer and he shows up in
court to
litigate for me wearing cut-offs and a t-shirt, I will quickly
inform him
I no longer require his services. Any lawyer I hire had better show
up
wearing a quality Italian suit, silk tie and patent leather shoes.

Keeping this in mind, don't you think it would be wise for a lawyer
to
show up in this group with boat having a quality name. A Hinckley,
a Swan,
a Wauquiez, a Morris, an Oyster, a Contest. You get the picture.
Could you
honestly have much confidence in a lawyer who could not afford one
of the
above or was so ignorant that he sailed a MacGregor 26? How much
confidence could you have in a man fighting in court for your life
or
freedom who had such low standards and questionable IQ that, in his
everyday life, he actually bragged about owning and sailing Mac26?

Your sailboat is more than some lame toy. It should be and is, even
if you
won't admit it, a reflection of the kind of man you are. That's why
I sail
a Swan 68. I certainly would never retain a lawyer unless he sailed
something equivalent.

Quite a handsome gentleman, no doubt. But what does the good Captain
have to do with me, Wilbur Hubbard?

Wilbur Hubbard - not some little captain, but an Admiral.

The "Captain" would probably like to know that as well.

To anyone who hasn't realized it, Wilbur (or whoever he is) posted the
initial note trolling in an attempt to get a response from me (the only
lawyer on the ng who owns a MacGregor). Since I didn't take the bait, he
was stuck with all the indignant responses from everyone else and more
or less made an ass of himself. Sorry, Wilbur. - Better luck next time!

As for my legal practice, although I'm technically retired, I have all
the work I can handle, thank you.

oh, don't be so hard on yourself, I'm sure there's one or

At the time, maybe. - But I've seen several notes you posted since then

Scotty's sarcastic notes didn't address the gist of my original note, of
course. (They never do. - He seems to be afraid to actually get into a
discussion relating to the substance of what was posted. Like a spoiled
little brat, if he doesn't like the gist of the discussion, he hides
behind his snide, cutesy remarks so he won't have to actually respond to
what was said. - Knowing that if he did, he would get his ass kicked.)

But in any event, does anyone doubt what was stated in my post regarding
Wilbur's problems?
