Re: Alpha 42 Designer's Rebuttal

Sailorman, that could be the Alpha theme song. Gotta love that Aussie sense of humor. The skipper is from Sydney. His sense of humor re the Alpha is wearing a bit thin. In general Jim Jeffries helps....

Re: New Alpha 42 to be Built in the US

First, thank you LeeV. Will we be seeing you at Sat morning coffee? I hope. Or, once Platypuss is home, come have a drink in the cockpit. We have the prettiest view in the marina at the end of the...

Re: New Alpha 42 to be Built in the US

Thanks, paxfish. Come to Galesville for another look at Platypuss once we have her back home mid-June. Skipper and crew are taking her to Patchogue next week. There is a warranty so we're giving the...

"Butter on your head," Chemist? If you're Dutch you know that I should be very insulted by that. Why would my conscience not be clear?

WindBludger requested the deletion of her posts.

Re: New Alpha 42 to be Built in the US

So, Wind Bludger has vented her ire. To what end? The builder, who we believe is an honorable man, is doing his best to complete the ordered Alphas. As no doubt with Gunboat, there were cash issues...

Re: New Alpha 42 to be Built in the US

Thanks, deckofficer, it's been a long hard slog, that's for sure.

Since we had wind on the nose all the way from Patchogue to Galesville, we haven't had enough experience to make a judgement of...

Re: New Alpha 42 to be Built in the US

Woowee!!!! Our Alpha 42 is now in her home port of Galesville MD at Hartge's Yacht Harbor. More about the cat and the trip when my brain figures out that it is ashore.

Come visit and have a look!

Hey Red Herring - If you're anywhere on/near the Chesapeake, come see our Alpha this summer. We'll be sailing the length of The Bay.

Re: New Alpha 42 to be Built in the US

Sigh. It's been a while so I thought I'd post an update in case anyone's still interested in the Alpha 42.

We now expect to sail Platypuss (ss because she's a cat) home the last week in June....

Re: New Alpha 42 to be Built in the US

Oh these Rotties: so intimidating; such cuddlepups. Sooo opinionated.

Socaldmax, I know what you mean about Big Barks. We live on the hillside of a stream valley so when Max barks it echoes...

Re: New Alpha 42 to be Built in the US

Thanks. We'll look for you. I hope you'll sail south of the Bay Bridge because some of the prettiest anchorages and most charming old towns are off the Eastern Bay and the Choptank. Our home port...

Re: New Alpha 42 to be Built in the US

Yes, we have friends who swear by raw diets for their dogs. Unfortunately Max spent the first 4 1/2 years of his life tied to a pole behind a tenement in Baltimore - starving. He weighed 40 lbs when...

Re: New Alpha 42 to be Built in the US

The Rottweiler is also an ancient breed thought to be developed by the Romans for herding/protecting their cattle.

Our boy is quite old for his breed mix, 108 in dog years, so we have some...

Wow... an ancient breed recently revived.

Our pup is a Gr. Shepherd Rottweiler cross. Loves the dinghy.

Thanks Bulawayo,

So far so good... a big crane lifted her onto the water this afternoon and she's floating. Rigging soon. Stay tuned.

Thanks Guys. We are indeed experiencing racing hearts. Nice to have that be from something other than old age.

I guess our hull is now designated #3 but our cat is actually buy/build #2. We...

A thought: if there's an Alpha Male, there must be an Alpha ΦMale. Sorry.

Re: New Alpha 42 to be Built in the US

WB, what prescient oracle whispered that in your ear? Maybe we should start referring to the Alpha as Marc Anasis' boat even tho' the original basic design is Tarjan's.
