Can you say Swan 68?
Yes, but you don't own one no matter how many times you say it. Even my knock around gunkholing boat (Allied Seawind 32) is about two or three times as seaworthy as your Clorox bottle Beneteau. Uh huh...just like the Swan! Calling that flimsy little boat of Scout's seaworthy is something so ludicrous that it can't be abided by any rational human being. You might be interested in the current issue BoatUS magazine which compared the boat to the IP 27 and commented on it being very high quality construction. If you're the sort of person who can't take a stock Compac 27 and see it's inherent strengths, we all understand. So, if you want to pay the dude a compliment that say something like "nice lines" or "clean looking boat" but to call it seaworthy just goes to show people don't have a clue what's involved with seaworthiness. Most boats are fairly seaworthy assuming the folks who sail them know what they're doing. He's the proud owner of a gimmick boat. Yup....the gimmich is that he actually owns a boat and isn't so pathetic as to pretend he owns a Swan. We're all embarassed for you. It's not much more seaworthy than a Mac26X, for gawd's sake. Yep, that comment should build on your credibility. Let us know when your custom space shuttle is ready for guests. That's why you stay in sight of land. I usually daysail and weekend sail on the sound. If you had a clue you might realize that losing sight of land would require fog or a sharp blow to the head on the LIS. You don't sail a seaworthy boat either. Sails fine and fast for us, which is to say better than your imaginary boat. It wouldn't last two weeks on a serious passage across an ocean before something serious broke in two or carried away. 35s5's have done crossings. In fact one WON a solo crossing race just two seasons ago. Oops! There goes the last bit of credibility you had, mister sockpuppet! RB 35s5 NY |
