After all these years, I finally found a boat for Dave!
If Dave M. were still in the market for a boat, I came across something
that would have appealed to him 6 or 7 years ago when he was in Seattle
doing some shopping.I went up to LaConner today to see if I could find an interesting boat
for the NW Classics column of our magazine, and I hit paydirt. This is
a one-off world cruiser, full displacement hull, 30 tons of lead
ballast, no windows below the main deck, etc etc etc.(The boat itself
isn't truly a classic, but the design and concept most certainly is) I
took a bunch of photos and notes to build an article around, but here's
a link to the broker's web site where one could get a look at the boat. http://www.laconneryachtsales.com/core/listing/pl_boat_detail.jsp?&units=Feet&checked_boats=1392204&slim=broker&&hosturl=laconnerys&&ywo=laconnerys& |

| A 1990 hull, launched in 1998 with a used engine from 1985? Sounds like an ebay special. |

| Skipper is a Jew-hating, black-hating turd who works overtime at being
obnoxious. Perhaps that kind of hatred is ok with you. |

| Hatred is hatred Harry and yours is of the type that is particularly nasty
towards those that disagree with you politics. |

| Harry, do you really think your constant name-calling affects our opinion
of anyone besides you?

| Skipper is a racist pig. There are many posts of his in the archives
that demonstrate he hates Jews and blacks. That's enough for me not to
want to give him the benefit of anything. Perhaps you are comfy with racist slimeballs. I am not. |

| The original post was not supposed to be a derogatory comment. I
remarked, honestly, that this was the sort of boat that Skipper had,
(at one time at least), been interested in acquiring. I fail to see how
that was a derogatory comment- and beyond the fact that he was once
shopping for a boat like that (something he has freely attested to
here) there wasn't even a single personal statement. I do wish he'd elaborate on his feelings that this boat wouldn't be
adequate for coastal cruising from AK to MEX, with occasional
(possible) diversions to HI. Aside from marginal range (easily
corected), I fail to see why this wouldn't be a darn good boat for the
purpose. |

| Chuck,
It was a great looking boat, why was the price so reasonable?

| The term "spartan functionality" comes to mind...and equipped on a
tight budget...Manual windlass?...aaarrgh! |

| So, for someone looking to cruise from the Gulf of Alaska to the Cortez
and avoid the return bash by diverting to Hawaii you'd recommend that
boat? Fascinating! Do you believe intended usage plays at all in boat
selection? --

| Absolutely. What do you figure from Mexico to HI, 2500 miles? Maybe a
bit less? (Depends where you set out from, of course) Right now, with
1000 gallons, she's supposed to have an 1800 mile range. Add a pair of
250 gallon fuel tanks and a watermaker you're set. 70,000 lb
displacement, deep draft, full displacement hull? This is what a true
seagoing boat looks like. Even Beebe would probably approve. You could
skip the additional fuel tanks if you're only going to coastal cruise
and willing to forget about Hawaii. If you had to, you could sail this
thing with a jib. I was aboard this boat today, and she's built hell for stout. People
make Hawaii all the time in little mass-pro sailboats that couldn't
hold a candle to this trawler. |

| The short mast and boom aft can be used to haul and launch a dinghy
(like I do with my own boat) and it can also be rigged with a staysail
to help improve stability a bit. In an emergency, you can use the
staysail for a tiny bit of propulsion as well. The tall mast on the foredeck carries a forestay that could be used to
hoist a jib, and the little boat would look just splendid with a proper
genoa billowing off the bow. There's no mainsail boom. You'd sail her
in an emergency, or for some stability under certain conditions. Not show in the photos is one heck of a long SSB radio antenna. I
didn't actually note where that mounted, but it wouldn't be off the
mast as the mount and the antenna itself is rather long and will extend
well above the horizon. I'm sure that's the first time I've seen a ceramic tile floor in an
engine room. :-) |

| The stand up engine room, alone, makes me drool! Nice boat. |

| Thanks for the link, Chuck. Nice boat and it seems reasonably priced if
it's in decent condition. It looks as though it was well taken care of. And, it prompted only five (so far) derogatory comments against Skipper,
not counting the original post, of course. --
