Just my two cents for you... I often think of items such as those you listed in the same way I think of extras in a car - I can usually get a better one cheaper. I'm not saying that I could - I just think that way. I think others do also. I think that is why many car dealers have given up on "o...

The hope is to have the Kiwi boat come in somewhere between $35 to $40 max. and it will be loaded. Why loaded? Why not offer a stripped down version for significantly less? If you take way nothing else from this board, surely you've noticed how well Mac owners like to mod their own boats. I would i...

OK, I googled it too. I found their website and I was looking at some of their designs - just for kicks. I came across this pic:

Tell me... does it look like the aft cabins have bidets?

I'll toss this one into the mix again...

The DC Breeze

Am I just a cynic or does that mean they haven't gotten around to actually building a complete boat yet? Any of you from NZ or the land of Oz seen one? From the site: "Construction of the first Powersail 15m commenced on 1th May 2005 and is due for completion in May 2006." Oh well, maybe ...

The Ultimate Cure for Mac Sailor two-foot-itis

Don't know if anyone has posted this before. I found it while trying to find out what happened to Power Sailing Center (still can't find them).

Anyway, check out this baby:

Powersail New Zealand

Don't think they will build (or sell) many of these. I wonder how well it sails.

You got to love it when being a "Manly-Man" work out. For every one story I have like yours, I've got two that went the other way.

I live for small personal victories. Congrats on yours! I think I will raise a beer to you this weekend.

Go to go a litttle against the grain on this one... MLB I could give or take, but a do enjoy going to a minor league game. I enjoy college football, also. But, I love NCAA basketball.

I believe Terry should use what ever figure of speech he wishes to make his point. OK. As long as the point he's making is that he's not paying attention. That's not what I understood his post to mean. But hey, you're the moderator, so if you want to dictate what means what - that's fine. Just do u...
