Satisfaction is wanting what you already have.

It does bring up a good point however- how large are we? How many have joined this last year? We will ever get the attention of the big mags? Sorry Capt K, I don't think so! :D

Goodly crew, but I suspect you are correct. Besides- they ain't interested in our size boats- remember- this last year Cruising World referred to boats under 35 feet as "pocket cruisers". Simply cannot put enough supposedly "necessary for cruising JUNK" on a smaller boat.

Hey Kurt;
Just found U again, do not be playing with bigga money. stay small, go sailing be happy!
As a two boat owner, I found when both boats were in the water, First Born was used, not TPIII and when U live aboard it takes way,way longer to prepare to go for a day sail.  Enjoy U'r little space and be happy

Keep Learning!!

LOL sure would be nice though if someone did offer a large some though.

I have seen this actually happen on another forum of a guy starting a jeep forum then he sold it to some place that sold jeep accesories and the forum steadily went down the drain. All the people who knew everything about jeeps left and went to another forum it changed alot

I think that is the point. We are the forum. We make the forum what it is, and we won't be sold. If Sailing were to buy this forum, we would all go somewhere else. But I dont think Capt K wants a big boat--uh does he??? ;D
