the 70's were almost 40 years ago now... How exactly did you look at 40year old boats then?... oh right, they were wooden and beautiful.... But still, do you get my point? Given the choice then, which would you have bought? The newer boat, or the 20year old, dated anyway, boat?
oh, and 10min...
actually, i dont think i ever heard too much bitching in Sarasota... where they allow SR21's to race without bow pulpits... or lifelines. and M24's without bow pulpits too.... (just for DannyV). Most of the PHRF bitching i hear comes from Bradenton, which is some of the lowest key racing...
really?
The local beer can races thats about all i hear... from Freedom's and catalina's to a smaller - non OD J's... Certainly no sport's boats in that fleet (anymore) and when there was one, i never heard any bitching from him....
