Yes, there is a contrast between RB and Wilbur. One
difference is
that RB has never actually sailed out of sight of his
slip. Although
he talks frequently of "cruising" he's only spent a
handful of nights
at anchor in 10 years.

That's because he ''needs'' an airconditioner.

I understood it,

Apparently not.

You seem to have missed some of his post. Your computer
must be the same quality as you.

Here it is again:

"no more than 30k ready-to-go."

Well, this is not true of course, but lets assume that it is and
wonder why it would be a problem for Jeff. Suppose I liked to keep my
yacht on land and use it for lawn decor? It's my boat and if it
pleases ME then that's all that matters. People of Jeff's sort are
consumed and angry with how others enjoy themselves. They feel that a
toy, tool or even art form must be used and experienced the way they
say.
Of course this is not what sailing is about. Not one bit. For a
balanced individual sailing is about sailing as you please, when you
please to where you please. If sailing a Swan 60 a few miles a day
makes you happy, that's wonderful. If sailing a 19 footer across the
Atlantic is your cup of tea, drink away. Sailing is about freedom, not
about knuckle headed numb nuts like Jeff or Scotty Potty (who sails
less distance than I do year after year) suggest how you enjoy
sailing. Telling someone how to enjoy their boat is like telling them
what foods they should prefer. It's shameful and only someone who's
life came up short would do it.
If you're lucky enough to own a boat, enjoy it YOUR way and never let
someone like Jeff suggest you're "doing it wrong."

If someone is looking for a boat for no more than 30K, a boat like the
suggested Seaward might be listed above that mark, yet bought below.
Scotty has NEVER and will NEVER own a good boat, so he has no idea.
30K might as well be a million dollars to him. When I was looking at a
boat for no more than 75K, my search criteria extended to vessels
listed to 100K. And some folks suggested I even try 125K range.
In short: Scotty is as clueless to the same level that his sheep is
afraid of him.

Well then, people would laugh at you even more than they do
now.

But I see your point, same as owning a 4-wheel drive in NYC.

Uh, Scotty. It's VERY common for people shopping for a
boat, house or
other major purchase, to find that their original budget
was
unrealistically low for what they want, and they have to
revise their
budget upwards.

How would you suggest he gets the extra money that he
doesn't have, credit card?

. I realize that $30k sounds like a huge amount of money
to spend on a home by your standards.


yes, it may as well be a million dollars.

Who says he doesn't have it?

Weather he has it or not is not the point. He asked for
boats under 30k..

Ask Dave to explain it to you.
