There is a real simple solution to that major problem, Ed.

Pay for a U-Haul and I'd even offer to bring her to you!

This one has been on Sailing Texas for over a year - maybe two.
I don't know if that means he's asking too much and won't be reasonable?
Or ? But she sure looks sweet to me...

That boat would sell for between $1500 and $2500 here in
California..BEFORE the recession. I paid $1600 for my Ensenada 20, and
I over paid.

One sees less than 10 yrs old McGregor 24s for $3k




Oh yes, Life in the Slow Lane...

How sweet it is!

But you would heel over so far that it felt like you were flying. Slack
bilges, ya' know.


Those old yachts, styled after the "plank on edge" philosophy of the old
English channel cutters did that. They also have a strong affinity for the bottom!

All the boats I've ever owned have been more of the modern hard bilged
designs. More of a flat bottom - corky, is the expression, I believe.
Floats up on top of the water more than down in it.



IMHO, some people here give Jeff far more attention than he deserves,
but obviously craves. The most appropriate response, and perhaps the
cruelest, IMO, is to simply killfile and ignore him. An alternative, if
you must, would be to post the same standard reply to his every post,
listing the manifold reasons why he ought to be ignored. Just my $0.02
worth.
