Stus-List Bigger Boat Question

2013-05-28 Thread Dr. Mark Bodnar
I'm still looking at boats, reading emails from this list and learning lots. Right now I'm sitting back, watching the market, looking to new boats that come up, and trying to figure out where I want to end up. Maybe some more experienced listers can offer some thoughts (on or off list). I

At 48 North, you're MORE than halfway to the North Pole. We here at 45 North have the honor of being in the middle… :^) BTW, Oceanis launched at 8:15 this morning; sails and canvas are on, along with new docklines, and the new steering pedestal and engine controls work great: www.postaudio.n

Bill, Maybe people in the US went sailing yesterday - it was a holiday here. (Memorial Day). Email traffic has been light. Mostly talking about Scotch. Hope you have an enjoyable season! Should be near 90F tomorrow. Joel 35/3 Annapolis On Tue, May 28, 2013 at 3:20 PM, Bill Connon wrote:

Why not a J-80? Just a bit more civilized than the 70 (you can go downstairs to take care of business), but not as big as the 92S. Sails well to its rating, and they can be found for a lot less than a new 70 (50 grand). Downside is the fixed keel (like the 92S) so if you are planning on taking i

Richard, I'm between boats at the moment, but leaning toward a more racing oriented boat this time. Current contenders are the J/70 and J/92S. Pat On Mon, May 27, 2013 at 11:11 PM, Richard N. Bush wrote: > Pat, what kind of boat do you have now? > Richard > 1987 33-II; Ohio River, Mile 584 >

Four of us were sailing in Scotland about ten years ago and visited Oban, the source of Oban scotch. Being aware of the distillery, it was high on our priority list and we went for a tour. After we escaped, we visited a small pub on the second floor of a waterfront hotel and were confronted by a
