Rightly or wrongly expressing an opinion of a boat's limitations
signifies moral and emotional cowardice?



to be unfraid of one's skills to handle a fine quality boat in rather

Making a realistic assessment of one's limitations is a form

But a lot of the
fibreglass boats sold new today I wouldn't take into a 40 knot wind,

if you are afraid to take a Tayana 37 into a 40 knot wind *you* are a
moral
reprobate for even thinking of going offshore in any boat. you are
not
qualified. emotionally.

get a motorhome.

What are the 'emotional qualifications'?

OT, my apologies: Rhys, did you get my info about Shiloh?

Hmm... I, have a weird attitude?

"fitted cockpit cushions"
are considered any part of the required equipment on an ocean voyaging boat to
make it more seaworthy.

Since when?

I remember being pooped in a Hinckley B40 in what I considered to be
marginal seas, such as 1 to 3 feet, with an occasional 4 footer rolling in
due to weather or heavy traffic. Would never have happen on my boat, which
had a somewhat higher freeboard than the Hinckley.

huh???

dood, a plywood rowboat ain't no B40

no, moose stored, being afraid of a taking a T-37 out to sea in 3 foot seas is
emotionally abhorant (look the word up).

stay tied to the dock, dood, should you ever actually buy a boat.
