I had a bowl of stupid when I woke up this morning...

But was it half full, half empty, or the wrong size bowl. :-)

I hope you are going to invite us all to the launch party. :-)

It could be quite a gala event.

Oh, Yes! Between the neighbors, news group members, web site visitors and
even vendors who have said they wanted to be at the launching I may have to
rent the old PJ yard in Savannah for the day. :-)

Don't forget the Spade anchor customers. I should get two tickets on
that alone. :-)

Let us know and we'll be there with a truck load of "libations".

A new Beneteau 473 costs about the same as a new Lagoon 380S2
(between $300,000 and $350,000).

They're built by the same group of companies (Groupe Beneteau).

And according to http://www.cruisingcatsusa.com/whyacat.php3
they also have approximately the same amount of interior space
(although the Lagoon has more cockpit space).

If you could get either of these boats for free (with a free slip)
which one would you choose ?


I assume that the gift includes a prohibition from selling
it and spending the money on a boat you'd really like?

never had a cat and I'd like to try one. Besides, I think it will take
less bottom paint.


I don't know about that, but the Lagoon has at least a trace
more character and a bit of novelty.

I'd pick whichever I could unload most advantageously and buy a J/130
with the proceeds.
