Mike There have been (5) in total. So perhaps your "****y Constant" needs recalibration? As for why I do it..one of our illustrious members was looking for a Capri sailboat between 18-25' long. They are moderately rare in the grand scheme of things so as I provide references for the 5 or so Yahoo groups I am involved in, I occasionally run into those boats when posting ads for the readers..... https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/freesailboats/info https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/sailboatstuff/info The first group has over 1100 current members..the other is around 80ish or so..but its a very new group and as people find out about it..I average 4-8 new members per week. Now so far..Ive located about 8 of those Capris. Richard has indicated they were "very expensive" and "Superlative" when discussing them and mentioned that is what he will be buying next..while disparaging any other boats..including all of mine specifically. So..I post them so he can put his money where his mouth is, in a helpful effort to match him up with his Superlative and Very Expensive Dream Boat, in a spirit of friendship and kindliness. Now given that they are moderately rare as he himself admits...finding one, a block over from his residence has been a joyless task. However..given that they are Superlative and Very Expensive boats, superior to all others of the same size range (including my 5 hulls )..it would seem to me that if one has a desire for said boat..and its rarity...it would not be unexpected for one to travel some distance to obtain one. After all..if one wanted boisenberries..one would not expect to find one in say...Houston Texas, and would have to order some and have it shipped or physically go and harvest them oneself. After receiving much demurrage and scoffing from Richard, over the lack of desirablity of my little boats..., I posted those 5 Craigslist boats in a friendly effort that he might find one acceptable to his needs, with a strong sense of fellowship between recreational sailors, nothing more, nothing less. I should mention that boats are occasionally discussed here, in the context of repair and in fact..there are few boats that do not need some minor or major fixing upping. My first such project this past year.. https://picasaweb.google.com/1040422...602/Ensenada20 I had it out 2 so far..the last time being last weekend, to see if the corrections I made after the first visit were satisfactory (and they were indeed) My current project this year (among other non boat related projects) https://picasaweb.google.com/1040422...2602/Venture24 A project for a later time..or for anyone who wishes it for free https://picasaweb.google.com/1040422...02/Ensenada202 Other similar projects Ive completed: https://picasaweb.google.com/104042282269066802602/FJ1 https://picasaweb.google.com/1040422...66802602/FJ202 Now was there any further questions about an obviously on topic subject, though a periferal one? Gunner, who this weekend is machining cabinet standoffs for securing a nice cherry gear cabinet in the Venture 2-24, and machining and welding up a 309 SS swing out fixture to hold a fishfinder and Magellan Nav 5000 GPS he found very very cheaply on the net.....among other tasks. The swing out fixture is designed to be able to open the cabin main hatch...swing out and lock the fishfinder and GPS and when done..unlock and simply swing it back into the cabin for security and protection from the elements, before closing and locking the hantch(s) -- " I was once told by a “gun safety” advocate back in the Nineties that he favored total civilian firearms confiscation.

Posting ads for exactly what he is looking for is doing him a disservice? And they tend to show up weeks and months apart. Afterall..they are Rare and Superlative. (Grin) When was the previous time I post one? 3 weeks prior to that most recent ad? Hardly Hammering. And Ive avoided posting several I knew were way too expensive, including 2 at $14k (way the **** overpriced btw) I don't hunt them down and stick them in his face. I find them when posting ads on the several sailboat groups I supply with ads..at their request and with much acclaim. From last night..after a 5 hour search... "New ads are (finally) up for this weekend: I just posted a rather large number of boats and gear on : https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/freesailboats/info https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/sailboatstuff/info with a fair number of free boats as well as some astounding deals Hope you find something you need. Gunner" So Im hardly targeting the gentleman. Just providing what he was wanting to buy, in the course of my other duties. Simple, no? Feel free to join the group(s) and review my postings, you can bail out at any time. As you will note...Im hardly searching the net just for boats to "stick in his face"...not with over 1500 posts of ads, in the past 1.5 months alone...done on average..2x a week. With very few boats duplicated. Most serious amature sailboat guys (and gals) tend to stumble over deals and own at least (2) sailboats...others have as many as 20. Im well down the list with a waterline length of 143 feet (waterline length of all your currently owned boats added together) I think the Grand Master currently has almost 350 feet of boats...including a couple inflatables. Shrug It an be something of a madness (Grin)..but then you are aware of that sort of thing..just with different toys. Then all the Salvation Army bell ringers are also OCD? Afterall..they ultimately perform services for people who are...humm..say...tarded? Bell ringers are a breed apart. A sad and sado/masochistic breed. True indeed. And? Oh..btw..before I forget... Anybody coming south to California through the Ukia area...Ive got a boat up there that I need brought south...just saying...16 long, about 250 lbs..on a crunchy trailer....

(Grin) No you don't post "exactly what he's looking for". One of the stated criteria is - "in Texas". Your so called offerings are usually a thousand miles away. I've already looked at most of them anyway. AND - the gentleman has asked you to cease and desist. Several times. So no, you are just being a jerk. But there is no surprise there. Apologies to Jon for using his reply. I've quit reading anything from Mark. |

or two. Seriously, why make all these "boat FS" posts here? There don't seem to be any people interested in the subject, so I'm curious why you bother to find the ads all over the country and then feel compelled to post links to them here. FWIW, +I+ am interested in the boat. I'll take it for $255, with free shipping (to Florida; and my part of Florida). Hey! That's only 50% off the regular retail price. Lloyd |

The swing out fixture is designed to be able to open the cabin main hatch...swing out and lock the fishfinder and GPS and when done..unlock and simply swing it back into the cabin for security and protection from the elements, before closing and locking the hantch(s) |

However..given that they are Superlative and Very Expensive boats, superior to all others of the same size range (including my 5 hulls )..it would seem to me that if one has a desire for said boat..and its rarity...it would not be unexpected for one to travel some distance to obtain one. After all..if one wanted boisenberries..one would not expect to find one in say...Houston Texas, and would have to order some and have it shipped or physically go and harvest them oneself. After receiving much demurrage and scoffing from Richard, over the lack of desirablity of my little boats..., I posted those 5 Craigslist boats in a friendly effort that he might find one acceptable to his needs, with a strong sense of fellowship between recreational sailors, nothing more, nothing less. I should mention that boats are occasionally discussed here, in the context of repair and in fact..there are few boats that do not need some minor or major fixing upping. My first such project this past year.. https://picasaweb.google.com/1040422...602/Ensenada20 I had it out 2 so far..the last time being last weekend, to see if the corrections I made after the first visit were satisfactory (and they were indeed) My current project this year (among other non boat related projects) https://picasaweb.google.com/1040422...2602/Venture24 A project for a later time..or for anyone who wishes it for free https://picasaweb.google.com/1040422...02/Ensenada202 Other similar projects Ive completed: https://picasaweb.google.com/104042282269066802602/FJ1 https://picasaweb.google.com/1040422...66802602/FJ202 Now was there any further questions about an obviously on topic subject, though a periferal one? Gunner, who this weekend is machining cabinet standoffs for securing a nice cherry gear cabinet in the Venture 2-24, and machining and welding up a 309 SS swing out fixture to hold a fishfinder and Magellan Nav 5000 GPS he found very very cheaply on the net.....among other tasks. The swing out fixture is designed to be able to open the cabin main hatch...swing out and lock the fishfinder and GPS and when done..unlock and simply swing it back into the cabin for security and protection from the elements, before closing and locking the hantch(s) Didn't Richard build one of those a year or so ago? -- Cheers, John B.

Yes. John B! Thank you for remembering. But it was more like five or six years ago. My only real complaint about it is that it was a bit large. Took up more companionway room than it could have. But all the instruments were there in easy reach. Even the VHF speaker and a mic clip. Next one will be a bit smaller and peacefully coexist with companionway doors (mo betta than hatch boards!) Or it might rotate out of the cockpit combing where it could be a lot closer to the helmsman. I'm still thinking about how that would work. The idea is that it's part of the seat back when stowed and flips outboard far enough not to interfere with the seating. Just a thought. That's one nice thing about wheel steering is that it provided a great place to mount the gauges. But I still prefer a tiller. |

When I had my sloop I had the depth sounder, steering compass and the control head for the autopilot in the cockpit and everything else was down below. Sail boats aren't speedy enough to need everything at the pilot's station :-) -- Cheers, John B. |

It's really nice to be able to flip the panel out where you can see it and back where it's protected from the sun. My only real complaint about mine was that with everything on it it was a bit large and ate up a lot more of the companionway than was comfortable. I've been thinking about the next one. Instead of folding out from the companionway, maybe have it flip up out of the cockpit combing? (Basically the cockpit seat back surround) Locate it where it's closer to the helmsman? That's one advantage of wheel steering. It offers a nice secure place to mount the instruments and controls. But I still prefer a tiller... |

Dunning and Kruger proposed that, for a given skill, incompetent people
will: 1. tend to overestimate their own level of skill; 2. fail to recognize genuine skill in others; 3. fail to recognize the extremity of their inadequacy; 4. recognize and acknowledge their own previous lack of skill, /if/ they are exposed to training for that skill. |

Number 4 may be a test for telling the difference between incompetents and sociopaths. You have access to test subjects close to hand. -- Ned Simmons |
