Kinda cold but then again we won't be on the water.

You're gonna need a bigger motor if you wanna ride the wake board :D

Is it true that a boat is a hole in the water into which you pour unending amounts of money?

Be sure to give me a shout ahead of time if you take her along the Eire Canal. A group will be waiting to welcome the Fair Lady.

Anyone have any idea why boats always are referred to as female in gender?
Here's some food for thought (http://sailingmagazine.net/fullby0602.html). <- Check it out

If you don't consider the 10 years of monthly payments, mine has been cheap to maintain. An oil change in the Spring, the occasional wash and wax during the summer, and an oil change in the Fall. Painless. :thumb

nah...I like to stick to small ski boats...but a new Ski Nautique would be sweet...I spend my time on little lakes that won't support larger craft than that...besides, I'm only in it for the watersports...nothing better than dragging your friends around on 75' of rope and watching them crash in epic fashion...good times :thumb

I'm starting to understand you, Ross, it's not the riding you like, it's the crashing.

Well...the crashing is the funniest part :D

You should see me on an ATV...the guys I ride with have a theory that I'm completely devoid of that little voice that tells you to slow down because you're about to die...an under-developed sense of self preservation I guess :laugh

Won't this get in the way of your riding habit? Or maybe you only sail when it rains, and ride in the sunshine.......nice looking boat, I grew up in Upstate NY and spent every summer on one lake or another, as my parents were both teachers, and worked at summer camps to pay the bills. Mostly Onieda Lake or Lake Ontario, did a bunch of sailing, mostly on a "Hobie Cat" with my younger brother. My dad hates motor boats, so we got the fastest sail boat we could afford.

That is a very beautiful boat. I would love to have something like that.
If you plan on sailing the Great Lakes and stop in Alpena,Michigan, look me up in the anonymous book.

Take Care

Actually it is 3 feet. The last sailboat we owned was a 26, this one is a 23. Downsizing.:laugh

Bud:

For years my dream was to circumnavigate in a cutter rigged Valiant 40. Then I got it out of my system.

I've never seen a Precision so I'll have to do a Google. Looks like a nice unit.
Have fun.
