I'll offer $ .75

[sumpin]

I told you all a while ago..duh.

[Madmax]

Bummer.

[John Gault]

Not surprised, she's a mudder! Sorry, not Dr. Laura -- the boat. She can't get out of the harbor unless its high tide and the pro keeps it between the cans.

[Swimsailor]

Cool boat, but maybe not for the Dr. I bet she buys a J/111. Good on her for trying out the custom game, though. We all dream of being there but maybe it just wasn't her cup of tea. But the discussion has to be, does Katana have the potential to be a winner?

[sumpin]

no

mc38?

[sumpin]

no

[Remodel]

no

Why not?

[notallthere]

Didn't seem like the right boat for her, but I hope she stays in the game in some form.

Que the disgusting pics from the 70's...

[walterbshaffer]

Good for her; I like to see people doing what they want to.

Probably not an MC38 (same sort of draft) or similar, does not fit the mold.

Maybe she will step up to the VOR or a 10R.

And yeah, Sumpin mentioned this about 2 weeks ago.

[sumpin]

but something for local around the marks, beercans, daysail, etc (exception being Ahmanson). smaller, easier, less pros required then buy Holua for distance.

makes perfect sense

and you're welcome

[sumpin]

less pros required. AND then buy Holua for distance.

Step up to a 10R ???

Don't get me wrong its a fine boat and I would love to have one. I am pretty sure that would not be steppin up though.

She hasnt had the Kernan for long. Figured she'd keep it a bit longer than this tho. Wonder who's gonna pick it up.


Soto 40 next maybe?

Actually, the listing does, in fact, show the price as $1. But bring on the acid!

[equivocator]

Very cool boat, but given constraints of deck layout, prob. not much in the way of creature comforts. Also, not much competition in that size and performance range. HOLUA could be a better match, given the fact that the Sled Class still seems to have pretty good competition, and far better creature comforts. Don't know much about the dynamic on the boat, but that could be an issue, too.

[walterbshaffer]

Not stupid, just a thought: she's done the small keelboat, OD, PHRF and sled thing so that (RC44) is one facet she's not done yet.

Hey, it could happen.

How about areoplanes. You may have found another hobby for your benefactor. Better yet, sailplanes! I love soaring, especially Black Forest (near Air Force Academy, Colo Spgs). But best was a cable launch off an old WWII RAF airfield outside of Shenington, England. Definitely an E-ticket ride!

[afterguy]

Also, not much competition in that size and performance range.

The "A" fleet in SB has a SC70, two SC 50/2s, the K-47, a Farr 400, a Farr 40 and one or two others that I forget. A couple of those programs have a ways to go, but most of them are top notch teams that get the most out of their boats. Plenty of competition and an awesome fleet to watch from the water.

Not exactly. Other than Katana our A fleet is comprised of the following:

Taxi Dancer RP 70

Prevail SC 52

Radio Flyer J/145

Skian Dhu Farr 40

Flyer Farr 40

Rock & Roll Farr 400

[Janer]

Fun factor will be going up in B Fleet also, with two new J/70's on the way.

Kenny must have made a mint from her alone, moving those J/Boats in and out of the stable.

1.8 Million, you must be joking, she'll be lucky to get half that even with the autographed toilet seat.
Great to see a bunch of fun, beer drinking kids in Perfect, the J100, booze cruising the Wet Wednesdays. Finally, a DrL boat with all smiles.

I heard that she donated the boat. JK3 had it for a while.. Then it was gone from their web site.

I think it went to OCC.

[Polaris]

If she is smart, she will find a boat to crew on instead.

[Dude]

Orange Coast College owns the boat and is maintaining it in bristol condition. They will use the boat about 3 or 4 times a year and after two years the boat could become available for purchase.

[longy]

Boat can be leased with intent to buy right now. OCC must retain actual ownership for 3 years to keep the IRS happy & protect Dr L.

These big boat owners used to have the boat in a corporation.. Dump the boat, no ding on your personal credit, now they donate and hope for the best. Must be nice to be rich
