Good on you Mark, and I wonder who the dummy is. Back to you my son, I mean Watson.

BUT i am still in love with Trumphy's and i don't mind buying white paint by the 55 gallon drum and then sandingfor a few months each summer as i will have the prettiest boat to pull into Road town,tortola each october from Miami where i shall keep her on the hard as they do what ever needs to be doen [ could be attention to stuffing boxes, refrigerators or gensets etc .. she will be pretty as a ppicture ... let us see if i can attach one to this noteAttachment 141405

Please click on the picture to re size it and see it more clearly
I am a sailor man, but she is very pretty, and... elegant as well as stately. Reminds me of the once presidential yacht Sequoia (or was it Sequoiah?).

One question, how would you mover the depicted runabout into the water?

It should. Sequoia was designed by John Trumpy, when the yard was still Mathis.

Consequently, I humbly suggest that if the question does not meet any of your criteria for one suitably posed then reserve comment until a question that is up to standard comes along.

Its not cynicism.. its called dry humour.. and to be honest I hope he does do some 'Great Things'.. but.. as an Ozzie you should get a Pommie Bustards humour..
And.. the mutinous are in Berkley Uni etc.. attacking Cash Point machines in the name of Democracy..

Close, but no cigar. It is all about slings, arrows, and outrageous fortunes.

Re: I Have Been a Member for 8-9 Years Looking for a Sailboat

Watson, you have been a member for 8-9 years, looking for a "sailboat", of which there are tens of thousands to choose from... with no outcome. Now you propose to look for a "Trump(h)y", of which there are very few in existence. How many years will that take?

good luck...

Jim
