What does a big boat say to you

[DAKA]

When you see a large boat what immediately springs to mind


(Question assumes you don't recognise the boat as either a friend or notorious forum member)

"Didn't you hear me shout starboard?" (I'm a raggie)

Depends on the circumstances I guess...

Scenario No1....Loooking at said big boat at its berth with owners sipping wine in the Sunshine...my thoughts...envy!

Scenario No2....Sat out the bay enjoying the weather on the drift with a line dangling over the side....looking up to see the said big boat baring down on you bows up at 30knots...my thoughts....oh f*&K....lol

Surely a "big boat" is relative!
Ask someone in a 5 metre boat what he thinks of a 9 metre boat and he'll/ she'll probably think it's a big boat. Ask the same question of an owner of a 15m boat and he'll think you've gone bonkers.

You obviously haven't seen him doing his 'flurting' then, have you?

What constitutes a big boat? To some a 42 footer is big, peeps often comment on wow you must be rich to own a big boat, ( I do point out that I am actually poor because I own a 42ft boat) when I see a big big boat I wonder what the peeps do, or who they are! And yes I do think that they are lucky to be able to afford a nice boat, and the associated running costs.

Now where's my lottery ticket

Rule 1 of boats.

There will always be some git with a boat bigger than yours.
Rule 2. See above.

Is it unusual to feel some admiration? However they may have managed to obtain such a vessel, they have to be admired for it.

I don't generally feel envy, as I know I could have accomplished more if I weren't so lazy.

Thank you Jonic, I can see my dabble into TV production is going to keep haunting me

As for all the spelling misteaks , doesnt that make the forum less formal and more welcoming to newbies I must be mellowing if the only complaints about my posts are spellings , even the raggies havent stuck the boot in

BIG boat is indeed relative, I had in mind something like Match but I expect jfm would have in mind something the size of William Tai, but the question and poll remain a constant

Now look here Paul , I dont have to stay here and listen to your insults all day.............................I can get that reception anywhere

Never mind the spelling of flirt, one of forum members who answered " I 'd have a go at his wife tonight in case she owns it" has been on my boat supping my beer following an invitation by swmbo you know who you are

You gotta think now Pete, is your boat bigger than his ?

 

[maverickofpoole]

Apparently it's not the size of your boat but what you do with it that counts
