I thought it was quite humorous, sad but funny.

That. Is. Awesome.

a man who LOVES his boat

[Mr Mac]

You just gotta love Californians!

[cuthbert]

How can you tell a dolphin is drowning?

And then how do you save it?

Just one of his many videos.

Kettenburg or wife?

I'd choose...differently.

[SkiprJohn]

Kettenbergs were good wood boats. Sounds like a deal.

[oldragbaggers]

If the sail trim in that video is any indication of how he sailed/treated the boat......I dunno.....

[I.Grind]

Wow, I would pull those videos before trying to sell the boat if I were him....I'll give you 2 hamburgers and a 6-pack dude, I forgot where I parked my Lambo.

I love CL boat ads. Two boats. Trailer included. Wife says I gotta get 'em out of the yard.

Why always with the wife? This seems to be a problem for banjo players, ime, as well.

That's an interesting trim technique.

I know it has been a long time since I was in school, but don't they teach composition or punctuation anymore?

Is knowing how to write English becoming the same as knowing how to program in COBAL?

They teach FORTRAN now

[micah719]

Meh, gimme Pascal any day. And no, that is one boat I would not buy, or even sail on if I could avoid it. The, er, "ad" just doesn't inspire confidence....
