Don't sweat it, Mike. These are trolls from ASA where I was quite the

Yes, you are the supreme offender. Why aren't you at ASA anymore? Got
booted because of conflicts with ASA and some boat yards? Or was it
because of your attacks on others sexual orientation? Or your
potentially libellous postings? Which one? Or all of them?

Warning to all: this guy is full of it up to his ears. He will be
trolling you all with incredible stories and deals. He'll run a
commercial business on this newsgroup.

Don't believe me? Stroll over to alt.sailing.asa and search
" and see what just floated in to your newsgroup. He
has almost 30,000 posts to ASA most of them taunting others about their
boats, families and livelihoods.

Make this guy feel welcome here and you'll regret it. Seriously.

Don't say you weren't warned!

Wayne has a powerboat that draws 3 feet.

That is true, and I have another one that draws considerably more.

In addition, I've cruised and raced Long Island Sound since the early
70s on sailboats with draft ranging from 4 ft to 9 ft. None of this
proves anything of course, but the water hasn't changed that much over
the years and there are plenty of deep draft boats running around the
area without hitting things.

I'd agree that on a boat used only for cruising I'd prefer something
less than 8 ft of draft. If you want a larger high performance boat
however, deep draft comes with the territory, and it doesn't mean you
can't cruise LIS with it. I have a problem with people saying that
something is impossible as a knee jerk reaction.

I actually think the bigger issue is overall size and having a young
child in the family. From personal experience, you need a boat that
you can single hand if need be. A mother's first priority will always
be to take care of the child first, as well it should be. There are
not a lot of potential crew out there who want to spend the day with
someone elses 2 year old, and a 43 is a lot of boat to handle by
yourself when under sail.

It usually goes away after awhile.

Why don't YOU give it a break?
Mr. Sprit posts on several groups I read and has always posted within
a groups concensus of behavior.
Mr. Sprit has stated numerous times he posts on ASA to troll and have
fun. Most of the ASA group understands that and has a good time
playing.
You're a hothead bringing your squabble here.

And your statement saying that these places are probably not changed that much
from how they were in the 70's makes me wonder if you have ever been on a boat
at all. You sure flunked chart reading earlier.

Charlie, I think it's about time to take your attitude somewhere else
and go argue with yourself.

The charts speak for themselves.

These news groups need an ignore feature so we don't have to put up with all
this immature bull**** bickering! You all need to grow the f%ck up and quit
acting like children if You can't do that then don't post anything.

You need to stop whining about what everybody else does and get a life. If
you
don't like the posts, either silently ignor them or ask for your money
back.
Your sniveling adds nothing.

You need to get a proper newsreader and make use of its filters to
killfile people you don't want to listen to. It's good for the blood
pressure.

Ryk

Since when is bull**** the topic of this newsgroup? That's all you spout out

My posts, unlike yours, are ON TOPIC. Get lost crybaby. Really. Either
post about sailing, or STFU.
