why didn't dylan get......

[aslabend]

.....a MacGregor yacht?

It just struck my how they would suit each other.
Dylan doesn't like the long offshore bits - with a MacGregor he could just whack the throttle on a nice day and Robert's your mother's brother.... job done.
Dylan doesn't need a super sailor as he likes to bimble along filming mudflats - with a MacGregor he has a lifting keel, small simple rig and water ballast to make a stable filming platform.
Dylan gets upset by mobo'ers - with a MacGregor he can furl the sails, give the outboard a prod and chase the offending mobo'er down. He could film the exchange of views (a bit like Dom Little in Cowboy builders).

A match made in Heaven! Why the deuce does he not own one?

it would also motor faster than his car

Freelance. Can't afford the fuel.

it might be deductible

 

[dylanwinter]

I would do

with a user base of many thousands it would certainly help to sell discs

and the real sailors would be watching to see how much of a mess I got into

if Macgregor had offered me one then I would have been more than happy to finish the trip in one - especially if they were paying the petrol

however, they didn't

so I would have to buy one

have you seen how much they go for.....

and that engine would soon clog up because I would be running it on tick-ver for so long

I can see you've thought it through properly, though. Must have been a serious contender

 

[dylanwinter]

I have considered all sort of boat

I can see you've thought it through properly, though. Must have been a serious contender

but the mac was always going to be too expensive

D'you know what? I live in and sail from N. Devon, so I have the Atlantic and all of the Bristol Channel to play in, yet I really envy Dylan his muddy creaks and salty byways, if Norfolk wasn't like a journey to the end of the earth, I think I would be sailing there as well.

Mind you, they do talk funny in Norfolk, and their eyes is a bit close together, and they do say that they have a bit of an odd idea of marriage, and who and what you can marry, and when......

Well anyway, like I was saying, I have the Atlantic and all of the Bristol Channel to play in..................

Takes a real man to sail the tides and flats of the East Coast.

Unlike these pussies, who need deep water under them, otherwise they loose sleep.

Err. You mentioned the Bristol Channel. Is that that muddy creek between Devon and Wales? Never been there. Do they still ware wode.

 

[Seajet]

I saw a Macgregor last Sunday, trying to beat into a Southerly F5 off Hayling foreshore.

My eyes are still bleeding from looking in the general direction of the thing.

Some muddy creek! Most on this forum wont go near it, scares the pants off of 'em! Anyway, I see that you are notable by your absence.

Long may it remain so!

HEEEEY! Gimmee six bro......what'd ya mean eyes too close together......I deeply resemble that remark

And North Devon isn't exactly on the beaten track if you know what I mean

Well apparently you be a Janner so you should know! I just looked at your profile, been around a bit aint yer. My missus hails from Gosport, her brothers still live there poor sods! I see you are sailing with the SouthFolk, not the NorthFolk, very wise really given the natural propensities of the aforementioned NorthFolk.

Anyway, North Devon is practically the cradle of civilisation compared to where you is hanging out!

Probably because he's not a spaced out bunny rabbit........think about it!

Do you not see the synergy? The shared sense of purpose? The win / win situation betwixt a slow circumnavigation and a fast planing trailer sailor?

Back in the real world though I can't wait to see Katie L afloat.

You could have done it yourself, but here you are.

[dylanwinter]

real world - me too

Back in the real world though I can't wait to see Katie L afloat.

I can't wait either.....

rubbish weather and real work has started piling in so I am reduced to posting Benny Hill blogs about varnishing masts and removing letters

man with varnish brush

I am The Dripmeister



man with hair dryer



But at least the boat is in the garden where I can go and mess with it between editing and associated wordsmithery - and I have discovered that the less sailing I do the more money I earn.

I also need to buy an outboard

so

amazingly I have an 'immaculate' Mirror Offshore for sale. It is an 'absolute ocean greyhound' that commands 'respect' and 'admiration' wherever it goes

it has an 'uber shiny' Hemple racing finish on the hull, astonishing graphics and a 'modern' diesel installation

£1500 ono

Dylan discovers the meaning of life.......

and I have discovered that the less sailing I do the more money I earn.

Yup , that's about it mate!


PS:
So....£1,500 ono ......would you accept Greek Drachma ???.......
