A very diplomatic response to a rather in-sensitive e-mail. If I was looking at a sailboat, relative to other boats in the same length, your claims are not that far off. If someone knows the size of a Catalina 27, they already have a vision in their mind. If they don't know the boat, this ad will get their attention. I wish I could help, Florida is a little too far for me. Best of luck, I wish you my best.
Joe, what was the point? Mike ----- Original Message ----- From: Todd To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, June 25, 2010 8:57 PM Subject: [IC27A] Re: 1978 C27 Standard Rig. Jacksonville, FL $4200 Must sell Sir, Thank you very much for helping by pointing out my mistakes in a public forum. Maybe you would be so kind as to help me correct my faulty thinking. 1. By my tape measure my filler cushions are 68" wide which is almost 10" wider than the queen bed in my bedroom. Maybe I should write queen size plus 10" inches? 2. Not sure about your boat, but mine by marine standards has a "private bath". It is a dedicated bathroom with a door and not a portapottie under a V berth cushion. Not a large one..but it is private. 3. I guess I should say seats 6. I sailed 3 days ago with 6 in the cockpit and no one behind the traveler. Plus 3 in the cabin. All adults and we left the dock for hours? An anchor sunshade is a tentlike cover that goes over the top of the boom for shade while at anchor or dock. Reality???? My reality is that if I don't get my boat sold I can't pay my rent on the 1st. I have hung onto my love of sailing as long as I could for my children and myself, but we can't afford to do it any longer. Thank you for reminding me of that. --- In [email protected], "Joe McCary" <j...@...> wrote: > > Todd, I wish you all the best, I can only imagine how difficult this must > be.
