The New Boat

[webbie]

Sold my little 18 foot monohull - am buying this one......no kidding. Who wants a ride this summer?

 

[fossil]

Holey Moley...that's a pretty radical course change, Captain.

 

[webbie]

20 knots, here I come!

 

[fossil]

Goodbye relaxed, carefree sailing...hello hang on for dear life and try real hard not to capsize sailing.

 

[BrotherBart]

I know chit about sailing so I defer to fossil. I will wave to you from the shore.

I grew up sailing single hull boats on a small lake, never cared much for multi hulls. Congrats on the new one!

 

[Dix]

I'm with BB...we'll keep the cooler stocked & the BBQ at the ready

But congrats on the new "ride"

 

[Dix]

These smileys gotta go, BTW !

Was on a sail boat one time in my life. On a lake in Texas on a windy day. All I heard the whole time was "coming over" and me ducking. Evinrude is my hero.

 

[GAMMA RAY]

I am diggin it.....looks like it would be friggin fun as hell...:D

 

[fishingpol]

I had to post it. I'm sorry. I never knew it was played on a 12 string electric guitar, so I like it a little now.




Where's the head on that boat? Over the side?

Nice looking boat Webbie i'm kind of a 'close to shore' boater though

 

[fishingpol]

Oh, if you are looking for a name, my vote is "Chum line" or "Seagull". "Chum line" is what will be trailing behind from the non-boater passengers, and the second is what will be following the chumline having lunch. Nice boat. I hope the beverage holders are gimbal mounted...

Awesome! We had a Hobie Cat when i was a kid. Tons of fun.
I would still take Loons boat any day.

Very Nice! Looks like a riot.

Since I'm getting old too fast, I figured I'd try a multi. They are fast and the wife likes fast...she gets bored in the mono.

If I end up going back to a mono in a few years, that will be fine. If not, I'll probably step up to a multi with a small cabin for longer day trips, etc.

My hero is Ian Farrier....

The guy is now, after already revolutionizing the boat biz, starting a new operation building his new boat. It's the sailing equiv of the Woodstock Progress....:D

 

[Flatbedford]

You should probably wear a helmet on that thing! Congrats!

 

[certified106]

That's pretty sweet!

 

[webbie]

Here it is moving!

 

[GAMMA RAY]

I think you should have "Hearth.com" put on your sail......
Nothin like "free advertisement"....

 

[billb3]

I've taken last place in the Buzzards Bay Regatta repeatedly.
Corsair's F-27 will always be my favorite Corsair.

Prepare to get wet.

 

[Flatbedford]

I have seen similar craft travel at powerboat-like speeds down here on the Hudson. My father has wanted something like that for years. Does that one have a folding mechanism for trailering?

I don't have folding - the corsairs and farriers do.
I moor the boat, so I don't need it to fold - although if I enjoy the multi-hulls I'm going to probably get a farrier someday.

 

[Flatbedford]

I think the Corsair is the one my father has had his eye on. I have never sailed a multi-hull, but I have been passed by a few. I imagine it would be a gas!

Well, plan that trip to RI and you'll get to take a ride....
