Any wannabees out there?

Do any memebers of this site NOT own a sailboat? I am one of the wannabees. Anyone else out there?

Nobody wants to be a wannabe. Took ten years to find one.

I wonder if the OP is still a wannabee?

He could be a wasawannabee now, or even a neverwasa, but either way he is most probably a don'tgivearatsa.

Don't fret one iota about it, it's cool, put a couple of smiles on a couple of dials so you did real good.

i'm a computer programmer, that is possibly a beautiful bug, some bugs are boring, one that resurrects a 10 year old unanswered thread is rockin !

anyway, i think some of us are always wannabee's and some never are, its a state of mind to do with freedom chips and planning. i only have a 16' boat that likes being upside down and cant even hold an esky... But i really like it and it costs me nothing so for while i i dont wannabe anywhere else.
