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.

This is starting to sound suspiciously Wilbur-esque.

So far as I can tell, any useful information about surveys has long
since passed this way, and it's now devolving into non-thread and name-
calling rants. I'm a bit surprised guns or Hitler hasn't shown up
yet, the way things have headed :{))

This all started as a general "what about this boat" question.
Since, I've been attacked by people who seem to be
annoyed that I have the boldness to even be here.

I am new to the group,, and new to the idea of buying a boat.
but new to life..

Lucky for me,, I've go friends who are helping..

There seem to be many who post here that don't own boats
but consider themselves experts. I can't figure that out..

I do like reading the postings though.. I've looked back and there
are some very good points, info.

Even by the famous, or is that infamour Hubbard. He seems to be the
most disliked,, yet some of his postings are very good. I think he
does this to get folks going..

I don't plan on sailing around the world, not live on my boat.. but
I will do some cruising and live on the boat for a period of time..

You are quite right about that

Yes, he loves to do that. Unfortunately one has to be fairly experienced to
assess whether he is giving good information or just winding the group up
for his own amusement.
Also he posts under various names. Even 'Wilbur' is not his real name.

Fair enough. Stick with the Group and in time the situation will become
clearer. There is actually some good information to be obtained here once
one has some experience of the various characters involved.

Even by the famous, or is that infamour Hubbard.

"Famous"? A legend in his own mind, perhaps.

...*He seems to be the

"Wilbur" and his sockpuppets (ahem) are not really disliked. At the
most, those of us who are really sailing & cruising pity whoever the
real person is, because clearly he (or she) would like to sail &
cruise but apparently cannot.... disabled somehow, perhaps? Anyway,
his/her "expertise" is mostly googled from on-line articles. Try cut-n-
pasting some parts from his more lucid, accurate posts into a search
engine, and see for yourself.

Yep, this place is fairly interesting and certainly some good pointers
to pick up. To me, that's one of the best things about sailing &
cruising... always more to learn!
