Re: Single Men Living Aboard and Cruising... an honest look.

Re: Single Men Living Aboard and Cruising... an honest look.

Yeah, Ann. If this thread wanted balanced, well thought out, and reasoned commentary, the OP would have named it "Smart comments from women who sail" :)

Just kidding, everyone. Ann, thanks for...

Re: Single Men Living Aboard and Cruising... an honest look.

Stu's point is that the average $106k could be 9 families making zero and one family making $1,060,000, or ten families making $106k each. Same average, very different median and modal statistics,...

I actually thought his boat came up in another thread with a testy exchange with the naval architect whose plans it may have been based on. Can't testify it's his, but the boat in question appeared...

Re: Single Men Living Aboard and Cruising... an honest look.

Have you tried playing a bagpipe inside? You'd go deaf! No, it's proper place is above deck. You'd be surprised how many pipers there are on boats. Thank god for Newfies.

Of course, you're...

Re: Single Men Living Aboard and Cruising... an honest look.

Re: Single Men Living Aboard and Cruising... an honest look.

Are you kidding? No one on this thread has even talked about sailing. We've talked about a boat in progress that isn't being used. Sailing never came up.

Re: Single Men Living Aboard and Cruising... an honest look.

Single Men Living Aboard and Cruising... an honest look.

Re: Single Men Living Aboard and Cruising... an honest look.

I'm sure someone has cruising demographics somewhere, but if I were to break it down from personal observation, the population is 60% cruising couples, 39% divorced men, 1% other. Single, young,...
