Hey Meye5, that is the most arrogant piece of crap i have ever read in this
group. i have occasionally seen a disdainful look from the same sort of arsehole as you and I generally fart in your direction. what a pompous ass. "Don White" wrote in message ...

Truly you understand you will NOT be accepted by the BIG boat crowd. Dont expect a warm welcome. Bull****! He should be proud that he's a sensible responsible sailor who owns the best sized boat for his use. I'd nudge right up in-between them and laugh thinking of their monthly payments, docking fees, maintenance costs etc. |

Don't worry about the Meywhatsit dickhead, mate, just killfile it. It'll be some kid posting on mum's computer. Until I killfiled it all I ever saw it post was puerile crap. How's the search for something a bit bigger going? JM |

"Gordon" wrote: Got a friend looking for a good small trailer sailboat. What's best in the 21 to 23 range? For instance, Catalina has made a gazillion C22's. Must say something for them, altho some say they're not the best sailers. So what is this groups opinion as the best? The Catalina's a great boat. I like the Rhodes a bit more, and they're still being produced if he wants to pay for new. We had a MacGregor 21 (not the Venture, but the newer version) that served us well for a decade. It is probably the lightest and draws the least, which is handy if you like to go anywhere. BUT, take a look at the Tanzer 22, either fin or swing keel. They're fast, comfortable, and forgiving; perhaps the best blend of qualities for that size boat. An incredible selling point is the newlist: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/tanzer/ If you have a question about ANY aspect of the boat, you'll get as good information as can be had. -- Jere Lull Xan-a-Deux ('73 Tanzer 28 #4 out of Tolchester, MD) Xan's Pages: http://members.dca.net/jerelull/X-Main.html Our BVI FAQs (290+ pics) http://homepage.mac.com/jerelull/BVI/ |

Got a friend looking for a good small trailer sailboat. Okay, I'll jump in again. Check out the Shark. 24 ft. Hinterholler design. Freakin' stinkin' fast and if made in the Hinterhoeller shop, built like tanks. Can be used as a light cruising boat -no stnading headroom :-(, or as a giant killer in your local racing fleet. |

Again...a bit heavy and with a fixed keel, not the easiest to trailer around. http://sailquest.com/market/models/shark.htm |

Great boats! I used to race on one. Still, you should keep in mind that they are slugs in light wind, and that the fixed keel makes them difficult to ramp launch. They are great sailing fun, but they wouldn't be my first cruising choice... Ryk |

Gorden--
What does your friend intend to do with the boat and where does he inted to sail it. I live in Ventura and lots of people take a Catalina 25 or 22 out to the Channel islands for the weekend. I haven't sailed a Mac 26 but I can tell you that no boat comes under greater derision. Many sailors have an almost pathological dislike for the boat. Again, I haven't sailed one so I don't know how justified the mockery is-- just givng you the scoop. How much Lettuce ($$$) does your buddy have. There is an A W E S O M E 28' trailerable trimarine. If I ever unload my current boat I'd try to score one of those. For the life of me I can't remember the name of them. . . . anybody else know what I'm talking about? The hulls fold up to get towed. . . B |

Among other models, Corsair builds a 28, Is that what you're thinking of? http://www.corsairmarine.com PhantMan |
