| A great boat. Built in the good days of Pearson. The only concern
I would have is osmosis in the glass of a boat that age. If you
had it surveyed and it is clean you aren't going to go wrong. You
are probably paying more for it than it was new! Welcome to sailing,
but drop the "blow-boating". Now that you're a sailor you gotta
sound like a sailor ;^) .

"blow-boating" ???
Right, sound like a sailor ...

... "we" are airheads.

| 958.4 | Naut. Terms | MTBLUE::HALL_MERRILL | | Tue Aug 23 1988 13:38 | 9 |
| Try "Rag-Bagger"... we must all try to keep our terms veddy, veddy
proper. Although once thought to have originated in the Fire Island,
NY area, the term "Blow Boat" came into common useage in the 1950's
when the pastime became overpopulated with blowhards. The
overpopulation continues to this day and the term is well fixed
in nautical lingo. I advise that it be used with discretion especially
when referring to vessels carrying nasty looking crews... at which
time, the term "Sailing Yacht" can be substituted.
