Oops, I should have written my blue water yacht(s) because . . . I've got three boats now. My Swan 68, Chippewa, my Allied Seawind 32, Sea Isle and I recently purchased the world famous Coronado 27, Cut the Mustard, from the estate of Capt. Neal. Got it at a bargain price and figure I could sell it and turn a tidy profit seeing how famous the boat has become. The trouble is I've been sailing it quite a bit and I'm starting to realize it's just about perfect in every way. It's got about as much room inside and the layout is better than the Allied and it's faster, I swear. Cut the Mustard's been through many a hurricane with the Good Captain aboard but I wasn't referring to that in the above. It's Sea Isle and the Swan. Mostly Sea Isle, my main squeeze. -- Wilbur Hubbard |

Considering the easy availability of weather forcast, especially nowadays, I'd suggest you may want to take a course in weather and storm avoidance Wilbur Hubbard wrote in news:46c7355d$0 : Paul Cassel wrote in : Wilbur Hubbard wrote: My fine blue water yacht and I have been through 4 tropical storms and 12 hurricanes to date.

Considering the easy availability of weather forcast, especially nowadays, I'd suggest you may want to take a course in weather and storm avoidance Actually, I'm doing just the opposite. I'm currently having a yacht built that is stout enough to survive the worst hurricane ever imagined and the worst seas it can produce. It consists of a 90 foot steel hull on the outside, then comes three feet of floatation foam, then comes an inside steel hull. Between the two steel hulls are ribs welded to each hull. Inside the inside hull there's a gimbaled and padded accommodation that sleeps six. It has four, watertight, transverse steel bulkheads and it's heavily ballasted with moderately deep fin/bulb keel. There's three, free-standing masts that telescope so in the retracted position they only protrude 20 feet above the deck. The hatches are all like submarine hatches, sealed and able to hold pressure. It has air tanks so it can be sealed up for up to 12 hours. It has an apparatus that can draw in outside air when it's sealed up. Of course it is self-righting to the max. The plan is for the ultimate survival sailing adventure. Purposely sail out and put the vessel in the path of a hurricane and then ride it out in safety. Clients would have bragging rights. "I sailed Hurricane Dennis when it was Cat 5." What do you think? Wilbur Hubbard |

Me too. Why would anyone want a jackass like "wilbur" to sail the same kind of boat as themselves? It's notable that he has never raced, nor sailed any one-design or high performance boat (mono or multi). Which of course begs the question, has "wilbur" ever sailed *any* boat? Yet another question, why feed the trolls, Jeff?? Never raced? I suggest you look up the race history of my Swan 68, Chippewa. A Google search will open your eyes. Interesting the metamorphosis of Willie Hubbard into Mr. Clay Deutsch of Newport, R.I., the owner of the Swan 68 named Chippewa is positively amazing. However, as Voltaire said - Common sense is not so common. Bruce in Bangkok (brucepaigeATgmailDOTcom) Willie ain't got nothing on me. I suggest that y'all should look up the race history of MY vessel, "Pyewacket." What is the make and length? : Bruce in Bangkok (brucepaigeATgmailDOTcom) Why, Walker Bay, of course. 8'10" :-D Unfortunately the Big Pyewacket seems to have overshadowed the smaller Pyewacket so no news flashes about you & yours.

Wonder if he got the log (and cedar bucket) with the purchase? |
