Re: A "Simple" Boat

All in all, the anti engine and anti-convenience people have a point (although weak) about stuff breaks. A few hundred miles ago my battery switch got kicked into the off position while motoring. I...

Re: A "Simple" Boat

Great point regarding trying to find work when they get back. I still have a few years before retirement. So I will have to shake the money tree again at some point.

Re: A "Simple" Boat

I agree with your points of how size and age has changed. In the 70s/80's it was a lot of people between the ages of 20-35, with boats 28-35ft. long. Very limited electronics. From California, some...

Re: A "Simple" Boat

I'm sorry if your offended but I don't see why you need to have such an agenda because some of us express an opinion. By the way...you used the word worshiping...no one else. Also, who is demanding...

Re: A "Simple" Boat

Please don't turn this into your personal pissing contest. I have a right to bring forth the facts stated by others who have seen them towed in. I didn't spend my life on a 29ft. wood boat...nor do I...

Re: A "Simple" Boat

Call it what you want...In some of their past statements in their books, they state the over dependence of the inboard all the while waiting for a tow. Hypocritical if you ask me.

Re: A "Simple" Boat

My boat was in a sad state of affairs when I bought her. I applied knowledge based on what worked on my previous projects. During sea trials, about 95% of it worked well. Now I've done 1600 miles...

Re: A "Simple" Boat

It's interesting to note that while the Pardeys proclaim self-sufficiency without an engine, they have been known to catch a tow in a harbor on occasion.
I think we all find our own comfort zone...

Re: A "Simple" Boat
