No, it's actually a sailboat. It sank last year by wearing a hole in
its transom during a storm (Spring lines?). It's in the 30 foot range but the new owner bought it for $1000. -- Roger Long |

![]() Just think if Searay ever started making sailbotes.... then the balance of idiots would once again be balanced... 95% of the time down here is Florida.... if something stupid is being done... it's a searay owner... Especially the 50' plus types that think the 15" wake limit doesn't apply to them... Scotty wrote: "Wayne.B" wrote in message ...

Just a hunch. At our marina, seems like all the rude ones are powerboaters. You ought to get out and about a bit more. It might help remove or at least diminish some of your prejudices. I traveled and lived aboard a small sailboat for eight years and visited many places, ranging from Canada to Bermuda to Cuba to The Islands. Of course I met many people, and most were just regular folks. However there were, from time to time, a few "offenders." My experience was that, at least in the cruising community (which is what this group is about), there were at least as many sailboat jerks as powerboat jerks. Often the sailboat jerks were more offensive, since they worked under the assumption that sailboat people were automatically smarter. -- Good luck and good sailing. s/v Kerry Deare of Barnegat http://home.comcast.net/kerrydeare |
