Don,
Did your buddy decide to buy this antique?



He was still pretty excited when he called on Friday and was talking
about driving over this week for a look see.

Don,
It might make a good fixer upper for cruising, but I would be very surprised
if it would be completive in PHRF racing. If he gets the boat and use it
for PHRF, you will have to let us know how you do.

Our 'skipper' isn't a serious racer. He liked to do the Wednesday night
club races and the usual regattas, but that was about it.
He really wants the boat for afternoon social cruises. His usual MO
......leave the slip at 1300 or 1330 hrs, sail as far as he can until
about 1530 hrs and then turn around and head for home. If everyone on
board is having a good time with food & drink..good conversation etc,
he's happy. I tired of this after numerous trips and am more interested
in exploring.

Don,
If he is handy (or has friends who are handy) with tools, he will probably
get one hell of nice boat for cruising.

I knew someone who had a nice wide "pig" of a boat, he always came in last,
but he had a hammock swinging from the boom, and a sunpad on the foredeck,
both of them held beautiful girls in bikini's. (He used to go to the strip
clubs to find woman who wanted to spend the day on a boat.)

He always came in dead last, but no one had more fun on the water than he
did.

That sounds like 'our skipper'. Most of the good looking blondes
drifted away over the years...but that's a good tip about the strip
clubs. Now, how would I keep my wife from finding out if we try the same?

Don,
Don't tell her you are not going to the strip clubs, you are interviewing
potential crew.

And more power to him, as long as he doesn't make navigational errors
by steering for the pink cardinal buoys.

That would be unseamanlike.

RHYS,
There were times I questioned if he was steering for anything.

Why? Any boat in good shape with a good sailor at the helm can be
competitive in PHRF. Do you know what the letters stand for?

Ideal boat for that use... unless the cost & work getting it into
satisfactory shape kills his interest in the boat first.
