I give up

**Ocean1** · 5th December 2007, 13:35

I admit defeat.

Time for someone else to take over, much as I like to tell myself I'll get there it won't happen.

Anyone want to buy a boat?

**vifferman** · 5th December 2007, 13:37

Where have you hidden all the animules, Noah?

Do they come with the boat?

**Goblin** · 5th December 2007, 13:39

Wow! Looks like Noah's Ark.

Jokes aside...all the best with the sale.

You buy the boat Viff, I will feed the animals

It astounds me that you bought a steel boat in the first place. I mean why when there are so many other better materials to build a boat out of? It's slow, way too heavy, suffers from chronic galvanic problems, doesn't turn very well and can't handle when the going gets tough. Oh hang on, you've got a Buell.

Nice - is it a Ganley?

Big project! A friend in Tokoroa has been building a stretched Ganley for 16 years. It is now finished and he's lost the desire to sail it as he's knocking on 70 and his health isn't that flash. I think it will sit on his back lawn forever as his soul is in it.

You must spread some reputation around before giving it to Finn again.

Can throw in a cat, oh, and a possum, (might be a bit dead though, he's on shakey ground climbing all over the roof in the wee small hours).

Ta. Somehow doubt Noah took quite as long to knock up his version though.

I didn't buy it, I built it. If the Buell's an anachronism it may be 'cause I don't know squat about road bikes. If you want to learn about yachts just keep talking.

Finn's allowed to rubbish Buells; he has an MV Agusta.

You, on the other hand, are barely qualified to opine on teapots.

No, Bruce Askew drew the lines to my spec's, I lofted them myself (Rhino3D) and built it myself.

And yes, the giving up thing is more common than otherwise. In my case the interest's still there but the reason's not.

And I was joking. Finding new and interesting ways of poo-pooing someones bike (and their mother) is an age old KB tradition. You guys started it when I bought the Honda, now I just can't stop.

*scurries along, making sure that this thread will never be seen by hubby...*

However, had it been a Hershoff, I could have been very tempted...

Good luck Bud!

It's the lever on the right dude, even on a Honda.

Pretty close though, and it's a staysail schooner.

007XY wasn't it?...
