Malo 39 - A lovely yacht!

Cheapskate spammer!

Thanks Ed, you have always been one of my harshest critics... Like spam for penis enhancement products you are not obliged to click the link or indeed waste any of your time dwelling on the inconvenience it may cause you.

You will be delighted to hear that I have been working on another short film taken during a very recent (and quite foggy) trip back from Brittany on a First 47.7; so please watch this space!

My films are designed primarily for the owners and crew and hopefully also provide some interest to fellow sailing enthusiasts. Any penis enhancement that you may experience from watching my films should be considered to be a bonus!

Best wishes,

Pete

Pictures are now up at http://www.jryachts.com/boat-details?boatid=818537

The fit and finish is a joy to behold but what struck me most was how for a yacht built in 1998 how NEW the interior woodwork looked.

You have to admire the audacity of getting not one but two bits of commercial advertising into one thread.

However, whilst I am undoubtedly wrong about this, I haven't actually found any rules against advertising. The FAQ for the forum seems to be the boilerplate which comes with the software. So no rules broken?

In fairness, unlike the first Halcyon video I took a look at which kept awkwardly focusing on the company logo on the crew's shirts and taking an age with footage demonstrating how well your boat would be cleaned if you selected Halcyon for your yacht delivery, if this one didn't have the ads at the beginning and end it would be pretty much just a nice video of someone's sailing trip, which clearly several forumites have enjoyed.

Besides, this forum is full of bitter old men who undoubtedly think that TV adverts are better than the nonsense those communists at the BBC put on the television these days.

Well I didn't know Pete had even made a video, let alone was going to post it. Having been a member of this forum for well over a decade I can assure you the buyer for that yacht will not come from these pages! :)

Pete might get the odd delivery but that's how I found him. These forums are very much like the yacht club bar for us long term posters and I tend to gravitate towards people I trust from here or the yacht club bar.

Pete's videos are really good too and I wouldn't get to see them if he didn't occasionally post them here.

The real spammers turn up with one post and a blatant ham fisted pretense at making it look like an innocent enquiry for something.

They soon get kicked off.

And makes a change from people posting who have no idea what they are talking about. I think if Jonic and Pete continuously just posted ads it would be a problem, but as long as they contribute their knowledge freely to the forum on various subjects I dont see the problem with a bit of what is essentially networking. Can all the misery guts really say that if they were running a business and happened to be somewhere like a yacht club where their services were relevant that they might not put their businesses forward. Maybe this attitude is why the UK economy is long on talk, house price inflation, and people getting in to buy to let, rather than people actually running prodcutive businesses like Pete and Jonic that contribute to the real economy, paying taxes and employing people??!!
 
Dunno. You are unlikely to find me in a yacht club and I'm planning on keeping it that way.

I'm not a social animal. To be honest I might consider joining a practical, self run, working club but I really wouldn't mix business with sailing and certainly I wouldn't be found with the borderline alcoholics propping up the bar.

Out of curiosity and apologising in advance for the possible thread drift but WHY?

Come on come on ... sort him out!
What's a Bavaria? Any good? Can I sail one with a back like mine?

Oh yeah, these babies sail themselves.... And no varnish!

And this one has extra glue on the keel. And when the tide goes back up
I am confident the keel will ungloop and come up with the rest of the boat.....
 
Nothing wrong with the delivery & boat-for-sale posts Halcyon and Jonic, only on YBW can you get complaints from people who willingly clicked a thread they knew they wouldn't like :rolleyes:
 
There are many professional marine forumites here, in most of the fields needing representation.
They are welcomed because of their TWO WAY traffic.
Not exclusive but...

Broker jonic
Delivery Halcyon
Chandlery FishyInverness
Electrics david2452
Cleaning/Coppercoat Elessar

and many many more

well, you get the picture.....

I vote we not only keep 'em, but cherish them too.
