I will say what I need to, and go back to sailing.
What a petty bunch of children at trailer sailors!
Dan, good riddens. He does not sail, but he is an expert on everything. Gary, good you did not get involved in that nightmare. All Dan's foot dragging was so he could sell the boat to the site moderator. Don't think it wasn't. The new owner already had that boat, they were just cheating you out of it. Dan posts trash talk about you, and that is left to stand without being moderated? See a connection? The others trashing you are just being like a pack of dogs, not thinking, only being pawns. Your off topic post was erased and the moderator replaces it with an FDR election video. Don't forget the constant Vietnam helicopter photos. Is that off topic?
Phil, what a waste of space. Owns a forum, and never sets foot in it for years. Would not recognize a Clipper Marine if it fell on his foot. It is all about the money, plain and simple.
Gary, stay out of that trash forum, they are just hounding you to get into an argument so they can trash talk you even more.
Your site here is wonderful, keep up the good work.
I would encourage everyone to support this site, and the stuff Gary is doing here. Both sites are fine, but the other site is being used now to trash Gary because he has another site. Plain as the nose on your face.
Gary, don't switch the masts. You could end up regretting that move. The sloop support wall under the mast is set up for the much heavier loads of a tall rig mast and heavier sails. To change the mast without changing the supports under it could lead to a catastrophe failure of the hull where it meets the deck at the rub rail. Leave the mast you have and add a roller furling.
I am going back to sailing, keep your sails in the wind.
Feel free to erase this, it just needed to be said.
