:laugha:

It is a shame when someone has that great a loss.

Saw it on the news last night. Man that boat was high and dry.

Its a shame /that people with that kind of money / [the blowboats] don,t have the common sence to take care of them :fishslap:

i don't know where all this blowboat hate comes from.

every sailor i know has TONS of knowledge and respect.

All of these insults and insinuations hurt. Seriously.

Do you ever think that maybe they get washed up because there are way more of them on the balls then powerboats? And they have a huge profile above and below the waterline?

:(

speaking of blowboats, anyone see the $150 million dollar Maltese Falcon on tv last nite?

Zacs:
FWIW
Your confusing sailors with sail boat owners: Not always one and the same, on either side of the coin (power or sail)

I tend to lump 'rag boaters' as the weekend warrior, non-rule of the road knowing jack-as$, not real sailors...

but havine worked commercially on the bay for 10+ years, we were constantly a target, even from 'sailors' SRU racing etc. who liked to tack right infront of me in brenton cove... when it was blowing NW 20+ so I'm slightly bitter at times....

no excuse ZAC .

just plain stupid ;;

hate / not hate >. if it was & by me I,d go out of my way to sink them ;;

My issue is from a commercial standpoint ;;

Whenever I dug /where ever I dug the would use me as their tack point / many times 30+ footers /crusing past me /within 50 ft & the wind blowin 20 or more // & that,s not a isolated insident//

Also have you ever noticed how many of the boats that are hung up on something / be it a reef, net , sandbar , Are blowboats >>> if they are that [GOOD} sailors /& with electronics / its seems I see them alot more than any other sea craft ????:smokin:

you guys have a lot more time on the water than me, so I guess its true. but if a 20-25 ft. center center console had a draft of 3' they would be littered all over the bay.

i promise you more retarded powerboats go cruising over rocks and bars without a clue, but are lucky because they only draw 18"

i always see more yahoos in powerboats. taking chances. doing stupid things. anchoring in front of my drift. not paying attention. Drinking and driving. typical weekend warior went down to the dealer and financed their boat, no clue bufoons.

Very true, but they tend to do stupid stuff mainly impacting them selves. very rare was a close call with a powerboat, 90/10 on the side of sail. Normally when they DIDNT have the ROW but thought they did.

How about the go fast boats with Vinny and Maria "cruising" 50' across your bow doing 80 while he's oiling back his hair??? I much rather have a sailboat come by me doing 7 kts.

that's one sick boat, I still think it's more than 150 million. the 1 million per meter is a loose approximation.

This 110' cost 5 million in 1995. My cousin was caption for 3 years until the owner sold it. She was Kamian when she cruised NE.
