Maybe in the marinas & sailing clubs that you have been to.


.... People have different schedules. I'll bet there are people who think my
boat never leaves the dock, simply because we have different schedules.

And the dockmaster(s) who are there all day, every day? The retired
guys who hang out there? You may have a "different schedule" but if
there's never anybody else there to see you, then that would tend to
prove my point that other boats aren't getting sailed much.


Doug is flat out wrong.

Occasionally happens, but not this time.

Ask any dockmaster or club manager what percent of boats get taken out
twice a year or less.

Most of the boats, power and sail, at our club see a lot of use. A
very few don't. I used to think Doug's comment had some truth to it,
but not any more. Once I spent more time at my club I realized that
only a few boats sat without use. Of course Doug walks around asking
dockmasters about the sailboats that don't sail!!!
Anyone believe THAT???


BWAHAHAHHAHAAHA! We sailed today. Doug did not. Doug does not have a
sailboat.

Seeing that I sail out of the same marina as Doug, I can verify that.
Our dickmaster makes active note of who sails what when where and why
and can tell you exactly how many times each boat leaves the dock. He
also keeps track of time that each boat leaves, looks out for when you
return and is waiting on the dock for you...he is probably one of the
most "in the know" guys I have ever seen..he makes it his business to
know everything going on in our marina...and there are a lot of boats
that never go out...their owners are living way far away and only make
it there for long vacations...

Dickmaster? Why do you have to gay up every post?

At least somebody thinks Doug's labor is worth the money. Unlike you,
who got fired from that lame sail loft for gross incompetence and for
giving their product a bad name so they booted your worthless arse out
onto the street . . .

What happened to your Great Loop trip? Can't afford fuel? Engine break?
Blisters pop and leak?
