tuffyluffy 76 Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Can someone explain why you would drop good money on a sports boat, coz I dont get it. Heres my understanding, a sportsboat is 1. Generally under 30ft 2. Drags lead around in a retracting keel/centreboard. 3. Generally can't pass Cat 1, 2, and most often 3. Hence its restricted to inner harbour racing. 4. Cant be cruised with much comfort 5. Has large gennakers and can scream around the harbour a great speed. Hence Im talking about the Magics, Thompsons, Biekers etc Now i get point 5, giggles downhill is a favorite passtime of mine, but why would you get a sports boat rather than a skiff dingy for a fraction of the price, and enjoy closer one-class racing? Yes ive raced someone elses sportsboat, and it was great fun. But not as much fun as a Javelin or 12fter, which have much closer racing for a fraction of the dosh. Curious minds want to know.

Guest Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Oh Tuffy good golly. How many beers and stray hotties in bikinis can you fit on - 1 - A Javelin? 2 - A Tragic 25? Pretty simple really Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty simple really that is a good point But how often do you get stray hotties on a magic? I vote skiffs. Link to post Share on other sites
tuffyluffy 76 Posted May 12, 2010 Author Share Posted May 12, 2010 Im expecting to open a bit of a hornets nest on this one. Now, both your points are invalid Knotty. Firstly, you can load a sh*t load of grog onto a Jav/12/even a contender. I know this coz ive done it. In fact a camel-back of rum and coke is the perfect trapese accessory. Secondly, at least two chicks in bikinis can fit on a jav. Fast it is not, but who cares. Thirdly, chicks in bikinis will stay overnight on a floating caravan with hot running water, toilet, and beds not on a sportsboat. Hence a cruiser/racer and a skiff is a more desirable setup.

Guest Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Sorry Tuffy your argument is flawed. 1 - No room to move on a Jav with 2 hotties aboard plus yourself so a waste of the bikinis, they may as well have wetsuits on Talk 18's and Oh Yeah... big time good for bikinis. 2 - you can fit a lot more and far superior range of piss plus the important condiments on a Sportboat 3 - Hotties will stay over night on a Sportsboat but knot a Jav. 4 - 2 extra Hotties on a Tragic doesn't affect their performance or knot that you'd notice 5 - A hottie who has just had a high speed blat and is still dry is a horny hottie.

Guest Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Had the Sport Boat Nats up here in the BOI recently, one of the M25's had a french crew. 2 of them were very easy on the eye ladies, If you want a good crew for the Javelin, you need weight. I know where I sit Link to post Share on other sites
tuffyluffy 76 Posted May 12, 2010 Author Share Posted May 12, 2010 Huh! - let me disect your limpwristed rebuttal. Sorry Tuffy your argument is flawed. 1 - No room to move on a Jav with 2 hotties aboard plus yourself so a waste of the bikinis, they may as well have wetsuits on Talk 18's and Oh Yeah... big time good for bikinis. Two hotties in bikinis, cramed into a small place is ALWAYS a good thing, period! Dont let anyone tell you differently 2 - you can fit a lot more and far superior range of piss plus the important condiments on a Sportboat Sufficient quantities of Rum and stuff will fit on a dingy. 3 - Hotties will stay over night on a Sportsboat but knot a Jav. Bollocks - Your speaking to a guy who got a hottie on a Contender to Browns Island for a sleep over a while back. Invalid arguement. 4 - 2 extra Hotties on a Tragic doesn't affect their performance or knot that you'd notice Valid point, I'll let you have that one 5 - A hottie who has just had a high speed blat and is still dry is a horny hottie. This is a matter of personal taste. I prefer mine wet All comments made from experience All depends on what you want really. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Maybe also ask why people drive convertibles or family wagons instead of motorbikes while you are at it too. My preference for a sporty lies with the fact that you don't have to stand on the centreboard to recover from a wipeout. Link to post Share on other sites

johnMi 2 Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 don't get me wrong, but I can just imagine you guys just sitting there, big smiles, and dreaming/reminiscing, of all the things you want to do/did with the fairer sex whilst customers/bosses wait patiently. Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 When I go to work, which is something that didn't happen today. I did think about it for 2 seconds then thought, Na the weathers far to nice for that Been boat designing instead today And my boss is a real good dude in so many ways, so no worries there I like Squids answer better though Link to post Share on other sites
BelowPAR 0 Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 The answer is on anarchy... Check out the first picture, then check out the third. thats why you have a sports boat!! Link to post Share on other sites
mattyg 0 Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 you can carry more beer and a bigger stereo than a skiff! Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Saturday Night Special Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 I'll put my 5 cents worth in here . Sports boats = are not great if you want a real sports type build a lake garda boat like Omni and Griffo. Now speaking with my designers hat on .Skiffs are great but if you want to have acramped situation with 2 hotties stay reasonably dry and have some overnight acom shove em into a 8.5m raft Link to post Share on other sites
Adrianp 120 Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Tuffy, its simple - there is no swimming involved in sportboat sailing - Shaws excluded. Sporties a great fun, forgiving, cheap to own (compared to a keeler), most would get cat 4/trailer yacht Cat A so could race around the gulf and are bloody easy maintenance boats! Oh, and you never have trouble attaching a crew! If you look at them as small quick keel boats then they are great but they probably are stupid if you look at them as big skiffs - cos they ain't!

johnMi 2 Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 my point ? No Point. Life is far too short to take too seriously, and good on those who see it as it is It was not meant as a criticism, and apologise to those I may have offended. Keep it up Link to post Share on other sites
