no way matt!!! i'm sticking with the blue ribbon, it's almost dialed in just right...until i join the yacht club, i'm stayin' low maintenance...besides, i'm enjoying being a stalker in regattas with that fat 78 rating! the list of modern faster boats i'v beaten is quickly piling up! the last thing you want to see in a race is me on you tail cause i'm already beating you!!! now if it's light wind, i'm toast... BUT, if it's blowin', i'm drivin' the dog s#%t out of it and ain't scared to destroy it in the process, i would be out literraly dozens of dollars!
i'm helping our new friend dtfuqua find a good starter boat, he's a caretaker for his wife right now and so am i...and we caretakers need something to look foreward to. so, if you know of a descent cheap cat somewhat local, post it here on this thread and send him a pm with the details. besides, the next cat i get is going to be that nacra 20 carbon with wings...in 20 years when i get it for 500$!!!

Still looking for the prindle.
Wave seller says he has a few more people coming to take a look, lowest price is $800. I offered $500. I would say the boat is in rough shape. Lots of scratches and sun damage, needs all new rigging.

Thanks bacho. If I don't find better sooner, I'may call about the wave again in a week or two. Here's a P18 I think about that you might be interested in and more able to do something with than me. http://okaloosa.craigslist.org/boa/2814276246.html . If you check it out and don't want it, let me know what you think of it. Or if you do want it, let us know how it turns out.

Hey bacho. The guy on the wave said something about a mast extension. I thought the wave had a two piece mast. Is there anything screwy about the mast on that one? -

Is all stock, he just knows basically nothing about it. He is selling it for his boss or something. It would be a great boat for what you want one for, after some running rigging of course.
I paid starboard marine a visit today. His website is outdated but he has a hobie 16 for sale. It looked pretty decent to me, he was going to ask $1,500 but told me would be lowering the price. I would give him a call Monday just to talk about it.
I saw that p18, I've heard that boat was in good shape. I am just not all that interested in a prindle 18.
The prindle 16 appears to be sold.

I've started talking to Cathy after her being in a sour mood since I looked at the garbage skow in Foley Al. and discovered she is upset about me wanting a catamaran. I am well aware of her fear of the water and boats but never intended her to get on one but she has the idea in her head that I'm trying to get rid of her and find some young thing on the beach. While I have always been one to look discreetly at good looking women, I've always tried to make Cathy feel as if she is the only woman in the world as far as things like that go. In fact, I never talk to any female except as needed to take care of things in life or to be polite but not show any interest in even having a conversation with any of them. I recon, for her peace of mind, in her condition, that I should put looking for something for myself on hold. I thank you guys for all your help and attention. -

now that you will stop looking, boats will be coming at you! hang in there and remember to take care of yourself in the process. remember, you can always find someone to give you a ride this summer when you get some time! and remind cathy, you chasing young girls is like a dog chasing a car...what are you gonna do with it if you catch it! best of luck and stay in touch!

Here's an idea. Me and a few other cat sailors are planning to come down to Pensacola the first week in April (good weather dependentl. You could bring Kathy, look at the boats, talk to the "old" guys who actually sail them, and go for a ride or two on a couple different models. We'll have a hobie 16, 18, a nacra 500, and a couple other models there. She'll see the only girls around are wives and daughters. My pregnant wife will be soakingup the sun. If the wind is light to moderat she'll see how calm and fun sailing can be. Fair weather sailing is pretty safe (safer than cars...). If it's blowing the doors off, don't bring her, it may scare her more, and is not what you'd go out in as a newbie. If this sounds interesting, respond to this message and we'll exchange numbers.
Cheers,
Ben -

That sounds like a good idea. I can assure you that Cathy won't want to ride. She was fine on her brothers party barge on a relatively small lake but when she saw the difference between his barge and a catamaran, well I'll just say that she started having a less than happy attitude towards the idea. I really tried to explain the difference between a catamaran and a pontoon boat but she couldn't grasp the idea till she saw that one in Foley. But if the stars align just right, I would appreciate the chance and Cathy does still like going to the beach when she is able to.
