Black Hearted Pearl Posted August 15, 2004 Posted August 15, 2004 Hey, isn't that the boat from the movie "Captain Ron"? ~Black Hearted Pearl The optimist expects the wind. The pessimist complains about the wind. The realist adjusts the sails.
breacanfeile Posted August 17, 2004 Posted August 17, 2004 Ah, if only, if only!! My husband and I lived on a sailboat in Key West; we were fixing it up for someone. Never got to sail it anywhere, and the living quarters (sans anywhere to sit) were not the best for the marriage. But if only we had the kind of money for a beauty like that one! It's ironic also that as a teenager I was highly obsessed with JAWS. ORCA would be a perfect fit for us...unfortunately, we've been sailing some empty seas, cannons don't thunder, nothing to plunder (except from good old JB). If she were in the lower thousands I might even offer a payment plan, so much did we want a boat! *sigh* -Amy Hoff
the Royaliste Posted August 17, 2004 Author Posted August 17, 2004 Thank ye for the nice remarks, I've always a spot for those who also share sailin' dreams..But, unlike others, she's quite a nice Herreshoff, with an excellent survey and a replacement cost of 300K.....She is a honey, once the terror of the channel and Coronado Islands 'afore I brought her north from San Diego...........
Isabella Posted August 18, 2004 Posted August 18, 2004 Capt. Morgan emailed me over this beauty! we're both droolin' and wishin' we hit the lottery! She's beautiful Royalist! Wow. :)
Captain_MacNamara Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 if'n only I were rich... I'm having a hard enough time finding a small boat in my price range... hehe That is one beauty of a boat... er, ship. Captain of the Iron Lotus It is the angle that holds the rope, not the size of the hole.
