just one of the same kind(the Cornish Crabber 24)...
I'm now trying to install my scanner to upload some pictures I took of the boat we sailed last year(Cornish Crabber 22).

sounds like fun...but being on a boat that small for six days would seem to get boring for me...especially being a sail boat, doing all that work.

Hahaha.... I hate those huge motor boats I like doing some work; ajusting the sails to max the speed is
It feels great to move pretty fast only on wind power. It's a special and powerful feeling . The water... the wind... the sails... the waves... the horizon... the rhythmic rise and fall It's just my passion for sail boats/sailing.
We sail to little villages every day to eat, drink some beers, swim, have some fun and sleep. I won't get bored, but that's me.

yeah, you have to have the passion for it and everything i am sure to enjoy it for 6 days straight...it would be fun, but personally i couldn't stand being on such a small boat for 6 days doing that work. But since you enjoy it, it sounds like a lot of fun for you.

hey annom- beautiful boat. love the lines of it, very classic. i'm a sailor. i personally own a laser (all a college kid can afford) but my pops got a 35 footer that i live on come summer. where do you sail out of? you got yourself a nice pocket cruiser there from the looks of it. i'm with you on the big motor boats thing. youenjoymyself... what do you mean all that work? its not work at all! some of the best times i've had sober are sailing.

well i've never sailed before and all i know is that you have to work the sails and everything...i dont know how much work you really need to do, and being the semi-lazy person i am...that work likes like a good chunk of work.

its really not. its just a sensational thing ya know. its pretty easy. to sail, and great fun too. i love powerboats, but sailing is completely different. powerboating is like driving a really fast car, but sailing is completely different. plus girls love it when you take em out for a sail, its almost too easy...

hey annom- looks like a cutter ya got there, huh? also, is that a centerboard or what? i really like those cornish crabbers- nice little boats. reminds me of a pacific seacraft flicka. you got yourself a very classic design. i live on a CAL 35 in the summer, sail it when its not broke. would love to hear about the specs and experiences you've had with that boat. let me know.

oh hell yeah... fishing is a lot of fun... used to fly fish all the time. i love to sail, and fish. one thing you can't do too well on a sailboat is fish. gotta admit that i guess.

get your fishing lines tangled in the sail and ropes, that wouldn't be too good. but yea, fishing is awesome. it's so nice and peaceful. i love catching a big fish and having to put up a good fight, thats always fun. It's always fun to catch them and cook them. My aunt and uncle have an awesome cabin in northern wisconsin right on a nice lake. Me and my uncle will go out fishing and catch fish for dinner and stuff, my aunt makes some kick ass fish...mmmmm..... ..
i've probably used that drool thing a million times within the last 2 days.

i personally own a laser (all a college kid can afford) A Laser is a nice sport boat! I don't own any boat at all. I'm a poor student. My friends father is willing to hire the boat lucky me. It really is a sensational thing! Everyone should at least try sailing once IMO I just heard we will sail with the Cornish Crabber 22, and yes it has a centerboard : Crabber 22' Gaff Cutter This will be our route:

i dont know how much work you really need to do Not much. Sailing can be very relaxing if you want it to be (and if the wind speeds are low ) Fishing would be easy on a sail boat. i live on a CAL 35 in the summer, sail it when its not broke. Wow, that's great
