Should have packed extra sweet tea. Dumb ass.
I tried twice, but loaded small both times, but that was an image copied from facebook messenger, i'll try this oneCan you post a smaller pic?
Edit: Do'h, beat me to it by a couple seconds.
The seller kinda got a little flaky and evasive about it, and the red flags there made me rethink the whole idea. Paying to store a boat on the water, 250 per month year round, for a boat that I wouldn't use in winter, and in summer with my motorcycle hobby, life, mowing grass, etc.. even in summer I'd probably only use it 3 or 4 times per month, so decided screw that. Out of the boat game. Thinking hard about buying a first gen Toyota 4runner that's already built for wheeling. I'm in a wheeling forum, might as well get back into wheelingDude! Good score on the new boat if you can get it!!
You are also a hemroid. I don't see you joining any Preparation H forums.I'm in a wheeling forum, might as well get back into wheeling
spell it right if you're going to insult me you ear whistling son of a bitchYou are also a hemroid. I don't see you joining any Preparation H forums.
That's how deaf people and might spell it, but the rest of us spell it hemorrhoidHemorrhoid is the more grammatically correct way to spell it. But Hemroid also a common slang spelling that is commonly found in print or over the net.
Don't you have some bedliner you need to sniff ?
Is Mr. T not a good speller?
Did you buy it?I should probably make a new thread, but not much building to be done on the next boat..and no week long adventure to get it home. If bought next Saturday morning, I'll be home by dark. But basically, unless when I visit the boat it just doesn't "feel right', then it's gonna be the next one. It's turn key. new sails, rigging, AC inside, decks redone, etc.. all the expensive stuff for a boat this age, to make it last another 20 years, has been done. I can buy and live on it same weekend.
going to look at it tomorrow for first time. Owner has been out west all winter working around Vegas somewhere.Did you buy it?
I know how to sail, well, basic sailing anyway. Sailed my last one some, but spent most time working on it honestly. it was a pain in the ass to sail though, wasn't rigged for single handed. The one I learned to sail on is more like this one, basically once you leave the dock, with all sail covers and all ready and removed, etc.. point into the wind, raise the sails from cockpit, and good to go. But yes, I will probably at some point ask questions lol. For starters, is there like "the IBB of sailing forums"? Cruisers forum is alright, but it's not like IBB by any stretch, and to a point I understand that. Wheelers and cruisers are both independent minded type people, but they are far more serious over there, and much more prone to tell you to pay the money to get it fixed than to go into build threads and show how to fix something.Cal 31. Nice rig.
Did thousands of miles on a Cal 39 out of Hampton back in the day. Raced all over the bay, Bermuda twice, Newport a couple times. Tough rigs. Should be a perkins diesel that's pretty simple. We did actually blow one up somehow, sailed all summer with no motor, sailing her in backwards was fun.
Be sure to check the tension on the steering cables, if they are too loose, they can fall off the steering quadrant on the rudder and make for an interesting time.
Sounds like you could use some basic sailing lessons. If you are joining a yacht club, see if you can take one of their dinghys out and figure out how to make it go.
While reading your delivery story I was almost yelling "tie off the fucking tiller" at the computer.
Sailing is a drug, glad to see new people getting hooked
I know a guy who grew up around sailing and is really fuckin into sailing and that's where he does or did hang out. IDK if it's still a thing or if it's dead. I never looked into it.If you havent already come across sailing anarchy forums you may find what youre looking for there.
Best of luck with the new boat. Looking forward to the updates.
Yep, SA. The owner is a raging liberal and couldn't contain himself during the Trump years so I kinda stopped visiting unless we had an event coming up. Tons of good info over there though. They used to do a lot more event based stuff and reporting, nothing now.I know how to sail, well, basic sailing anyway.
