Apology accepted.

(you would never believe the drama.) Heres my restoration work on VW's http://community.webshots.com/user/Kafertoys People get upset when you can't do things for free. I did trade the boat for alot of car repair, so it seemed like a great deal its in great shape and te wood work on the inside is just beautiful. I will try to post pictures tomorrow. I do alot of motorboating, ski type and did teach sailing at a boyscout camp on 14' sunfish. so I'm not a fish out of water here but being this is 28' (foot) I know its not just something to drag in and out of the water. First question would be weres a good place on line to find supplies needed like new sails? Could I sail something this size down the east atlantic coast or would it be more for large lakes? |

You are only limited by what YOU can take cause the boat will almost always take more than you. Take her down the east coast, she is about right for a couple. Do it first and worry later about what people think. A 28' S2 on the gulf coast. |

I'm stoked I've been to the wooden boat festival in New Orleans and think sailing to something like that would be an adventure |

Given a choice of crews, I'll take someone who learned on a dink over someone who only knows big boats. Dinks create real sailors who can bond with Momma, respect her moods. First question would be weres a good place on line to find supplies needed like new sails? I happen to have found some of the best big-stuff prices at sailnet.com, but I've found that regularly buying little stuff at the local chandlery soon gives me a "professional" discount that rivals any price I can find on the Internet. Probably worst prices and availability for sailboats are now at West Marine. Could I sail something this size down the east atlantic coast or would it be more for large lakes? I wouldn't hesitate to take Xan (below) down the ICW to FL and the Bahamas. She's perfect for that, though of course we'd like more space to spread out. Couple of her sisters have cruised the entirety of the Caribbean. Limiting factor really isn't the boat but the crew. -- Jere Lull Xan-à-Deux -- Tanzer 28 #4 out of Tolchester, MD Xan's pages: http://web.mac.com/jerelull/iWeb/Xan/ Our BVI trips & tips: http://homepage.mac.com/jerelull/BVI/ |

I'm a bit confused here - sorry to all you folks out here in sailing land, but I'm trying to help - Mario, this is you in this newsclip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeQ8UwWPP4Y So the local news media is among your many "stalkers"? The fact that you've been banned from all of the major VW websites for lying, cheating and stealing makes 90% of all people in a large hobby your "stalkers"? The court cases you've lost and never made good on - the judicial system is also "stalking" you? I'll introduce you to a new concept: Occam's razor. Its roughly the idea that the simplest explanation is likely to be correct one. You've got litteraly hundreds of people who know you for the liar, thief and cheat that you are and are not about to let you get away with it. Stalkers indeed. Sorry for the interruption foks, you've been warned. http://www.mariogavazzivintagewerks.com/ Thanks. |

![]() I easily could have changed my name but because I have no reason to hide, don't. The Freaks have done everyting but come to my shop to learn the truth. They have even posted my none existant chriminal record, worse speeding 45 in a 30 zone with out my license in my pocket on an emergince run to the hospital. Sorry I'm sure thats far more about me then you ever wanted to know. It kills me how far some people go for attention. no please back to sailing |
