Mambo Kings 982 Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 It has gone strangely quiet since the bankers offices reopened on Monday. Snippet of phone conversation recorded by the NSA between a cell phone in San Diego and the offices of Banque Pictet & Cie in Lausanne, Switzerland. Renaud de Planta (Senior Partner- Pictet) : "Which deal, Monsieur Tempesta?" Scooter: "Which deal? WTF! The deal where Ernesto buys my website for 2 million US Dollars and I call you to finalize details of payment" RdP: " Ahh. I think someone has been, 'ow you say in English "pulling zee plonker". Where was Monsieur Bertarelli calling you from? Scooter @Editor: (with a note of panic starting to creep in) "From his summer home in New Jersey. I checked by calling them back and they answered "Bertarelli Residence". RdP : Ahhhh Mr. Temper, I can assure you that Mr. Bertarelli has never been to New Jersey and would not pay 2 million Venezuelan Bolivar for your website Scoot : (Loud sobbing sounds) But but....I just published an article....and gulp.....bought a new car and a very expensive girlfriend" The NSA have concluded that Sailing Anarchy is no longer a threat to National Security. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

@last 42 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Thanks for creation of a really special online community and also for launching the site and being a good caretaker of it for 22 years. The breadth and depth of knowledge of anarchists never ceases to amaze me. Doing a resto on an old IOR boat and have questions? There is a good chance that you might hear from someone who built the boat or raced on it back in the day. Have gear questions, questions about design, which boat might work best for whatever application? Post it here and for the most part, those responses are both well thought out and informative. Looking forward to what comes next, but also a big thanks for what you have done here. ps-perhaps a Mumm/Farr 30 in your future or will we see you go back to the FT 10 well for the third time? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rail Meat 289 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Just saw this news - it's quite the milestone I joined the forums in 2003 and have seen this place ebb and flood over time. Learned a lot (some of it actually helpful), shared a bit, met some interesting folks, some of them in real life too. I doubt there were many people back in 2003 that would have imagined the site would make it this far, but I am glad it has. Scott, congrats on creating something that was unique and, dare I say it, special. Not short bus special... just special. Good luck with whatever comes next. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can't tell you how many times I have gotten to the one yard line and then things went south and the deal could not be salvaged. The first time it happened I was a bit freaked out. The third time it happened I was full of disappointment but had hedged my bets and life went on. I hope Scot has a done deal and can enjoy the finer things in life. Have a great weekend everyone. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've worked for 2 people who just couldn't hold it together to finalize the deal. One kept thinking he could get more and backed out at the last minute. That company ended up in bankruptcy and my dreams of having some FU cash went with it. His second company sold for $150M cash, but ... his 2 partners forced the sale. One of the partners told me he had to force it because my former boss wanted to back out and see if he could get more. The second was too insane to know what to do with himself if he didn't have his company so he tanked my second chance at FU money. Again at the last minute. He eventually sold and cashed in, but like the other situation, it was forced by other investors and he had no choice. details of this are another story. The purchaser is now checking in to "anomalies" and looking to claw back some cash. The moral being it ain't over until the check clears and possibly not even then if you lied during the dating process. The other moral is to follow me and join companies right after I leave.
