Us "recovering sailors" still have good manners for the most part, but I have noticed more and more "whining sailors" complaining about wake as you pass them 300' off in Albemarle. My guess is they don't get out much... Regards.... Phil Rosch Old Harbor Consulting M/V Curmudgeon MT-44TC Currently moored in Okracoke Island, Outer Banks, NC

I would imagine that us trawler owners are in it for the boating lifestyle. We enjoy the challenge, the work, and the voyage. Sailboaters do too I suppose. The other groups are into boats because they need them to catch fish, or the go-fasters are looking to catch the ladies...

You mean to say that all I need is a go-fast boat to catch the ladies???? I could have saved $$$$ over the years....... Bob The other groups are into boats because they need them > to catch fish, or the go-fasters are looking to catch the ladies...

<snjip> > to catch fish, or the go-fasters are looking to catch the ladies... [PaulC says:] I was specifically told that full displacement boats were in fact babe magnets. D'oh.

I'm forced to jump on this thread. My Admiral and I are both ex-sailors that have moved to a Trawler (retired and want to go cruising). I also do a lot of fishing (in and off shore) on friends boats. To fisherman the only thing that counts is getting there fast and (to a lesser degree) comfortably). The "go fast set, whether in a small or larger boat (depends on the available $) all seem to have a testosterone problem, especially the crowd in the Cigarette type boats. Courtesy or knowledge of the "rules of the road" are unknown to this group. These are what I call the "wine and cheese set". ----- Original Message ----- From: Mike Cowan<mailto:trawler-world@wirelessconnections.net> To: trawlers-and-trawlering@lists.samurai.com<mailto:trawlers-and-trawlering@list s.samurai.com> Cc: marin.faure@boeing.com<mailto:marin.faure@boeing.com> Sent: Friday, October 15, 2004 7:32 PM Subject: Re: T&T: Manners - was Good Old Days in Boating I would imagine that us trawler owners are in it for the boating lifestyle.

My Admiral and I (ex-sailors) have coined a term for many of those other-than-trawler type boats. We call them "pointy window boats". Do windows pointed at the ends really reduce drag? They sure reduce visibility from inside. We love out large (360 degree awareness) cabin windows. We cruise to places worth looking at. Jerry & Barb O'Neill GB 32 ADVENTURE Annapolis MD
