Rather than tell me I'm stupid .. how about you tell all of us what your
experience is.

Enough that I don't really care what you think.
How many boats have you bought and sold?
A lot... less than a hundred, more than a dozen.
.... When was the last time you bought a boat?
March 2008
Did you have a survey done?
On this particular one, no. On the one before, yes. And on several
efore that, going to about 1970-something
In other words... put up or shut up.
Really? Or else you'll.... what?

You forgot to ask animal, vegetable, or mineral. The methodical
approach is best in these things.

So,, you tell us you have bought "a lot" of boats.. but you fail to tell
us anything about any of them..

What make? Model? Length? Where do you moor/dock this mystery boat?
You are quick to tell me that you are an expert,, mr knows everything ..
but you don't tell us what the make, model, length,, of your boat is?

Huumm.... I'm doubting you have every owned even one boat. You sound like
a boat owner want a be.. A phoney..

Mr expert ... my ass..

You are a big pile of air..

Prove to us all that you own a boat .. show us the boat.. tell us the
make, model,, where you
dock her..

Come on mr smart guy.


Ouch! A woman scorned . . .

You're wrong on this one Ms. O'Leary. Doug has owned and sailed lots of
boats. He hasn't really learned much of anything in the process but he does
sail. His sailing at the present time is aboard an ugly, pollution spewing
trawler - sailing in the "navigating upon the water" sense, not sailing as
in using sails for propulsion. He's gotten out of the sailboat game. I
think he got too old and lazy to do much of anything but sit in a pilot
house, fiddle with the autopilot, drink beer and make big wakes. (So rude!)

At any rate, he's more of a motor head these days than a sailor. His advice
would be mostly outdated as it's probably been five or six years or more
since he's owned a sailboat. If memory serves, the sailboats he's owned were
on the smallish side and daysailers rather than cruisers. He's even done
some dinghy racing, I think. The winner's circle seems to have evaded him,
however.
