Either a Swan or a Coronado.

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.

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?

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.

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?

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.

Well, he can now post about his favorite boat. Wonder if he got the log
(and cedar bucket) with the purchase?

Wilbur F. Hubbard, Forgery, Newark, N.Y., Auburn 7 yrs. Dec. 26, 1893

Alias Wilbur F. Fisk.

Hubbard, who lived in Lyons, was a swindler and forger was arrested by
Jerry Collins, in Indiana, over 1500 people were at the Railroad
Station to see him step off the train. Being a musician was prominent
in Church circles in Argos, Ind., he occupied the Christian pulpit.
Being a smooth, old foxey rascal. His crooked transactions run into
$10,000.00. There were eight indictments for forgery against him.


Only $10,000.00? He wasn't very good at forgery or swindling either, was
he?
