Your sailboat is more than some lame toy. It should be and is, even if you won't admit it, a reflection of the kind of man you are. That's why I sail a Swan 68. I certainly would never retain a lawyer unless he sailed something equivalent. Wilbur Hubbard

Assuming that this guy is real and not under the influence of an
overdose of Root Canal medication, he may have a point.

I have an old boat (29 years old) that I built by myself and it and I
(67) are still running. And I'm still learning things and building a
shipboard computer system for my next boat I'll buy when I move to
China in August. I will admit that my homemade boats, buildings and
computers are " a reflection of the kind of man (I am)".

But I'll never be bored until I die.

From a candid point of view:

To the untrained eyes, a boat may reflect your status or your indebtedness.

The real picture of your status is reflected by the size of your crew and
the uniforms they are wearing.

The Boat may reflect the man, I have found you need a lot of money to
equip. a sail boat but there are ways around some and not others new
things cost, my boat is 33yr young and I would pick her over many
newer boats but the reason I realy got her was price it was the most
boat for the amount of money I had to spend the again you shouldnt
expect much more from a sergant in the Army (36' Morgan One Ton)

I make Mr Sails wear his uniform every time we sail...he has a hard time
strapping that peg leg on, though...
