| 2016.1 | How many Stars & Stripes are there? | GVPROD::MEYER | Nick, DTN 7-821-4172 | Wed Apr 07 1993 03:25 | 6 |
| How many "Stars & Stripes" are there, as I thought the big 19 metre
Cat that Dennis raced in the Geneva Bol d'or was also called stars
stripes... Will have to dive back in my photo album to check...
Wishing everyone a good sail over the Easter Week End.

| I believe there were at least three. The one for sal, the cat, and the
latest version in the last cup race?

| 2016.3 | worst sailboat investment ever? | UNIFIX::BERENS | Alan Berens | Wed Apr 07 1993 15:10 | 4 |
| re .0:
Gee, I knew sailboats were a poor investment, but 35% annual
depreciation is a bit much!

| 12 Meter Cost analysis:
30,000 lbs. lead @ .35/lb = $10,500
25,000 lbs. alum. @ .50/lb = 12,500
10 small winches @ $400 ea 4,000
1 dual pedestal winch @ $5000 = 5,000
------
$32,000
With no further competitive value, a 12 meter's highest and best use is
to be a lead mine.

| 2016.7 | boy.. when was the last time you bought a winch... (grin) | BTOVT::HILTON_G | SYS-F-UNIVCRASH% REALITY.SYS Corrupted - Reboot Universe? (Y/N/Quit) | Thu Apr 15 1993 15:24 | 22 |

try about $2000 per 2 speed med size.. (the smallest on
a 12-meter)
not that it makes a lot of difference in your cost analysis.
you forgot one other thing about a 12-meter...
they are the ONLY boat that defies the laws of
physics... not only do they create a hole in the
water in which rich folk throw money... but they
are the only hole in the water that appears to be
12-meters in circumference but in real-life is
approx. 2 square miles in width....

| 2016.8 | Uses for an old 12... | LARVAE::CSOONE::BARKER | NE1410IS | Fri Apr 16 1993 04:55 | 17 |
| In the UK, Richard Matthews, the owner of Oyster Marine, sails the 1987 British Americas
Cup challenger White Crusader in inshore and offshore races.
He has added an Engine, a few bunks and guardrails, and it is rated under CHS. Pitched
against lightweight cruiser racers, the performance is interesting, as it is very fast
upwind, but when it gets to the windward mark and bears away, it doesn't get any faster.
Also the draft can be quite a problem in the shallower areas of the Solent.
They have a huge stock of hi-tech sails, many of them hardly used.
Offshore, the boat is strictly for masochists, as it is seriously wet, but at least they
get to their destination fast.
The other factor to consider is that 12's look very pretty when lined up against all the
other floating caravans on a sunny afternoon, and it really pulls the crowds.

| could always convert it for use as a spirited booze barge. Sunset
cruises etc. for $5.00 a head.

Spirited? HAHAHA
That would be mighty interesting- lumpy flat deck full of drunks-
and no lifelines!
Hmmm sounds like Thursday nights...

| 2016.11 | Some value yet | OTOOA::MOWBRAY | This isn't a job its an Adventure | Fri Apr 16 1993 14:52 | 7 |
| One enterprising group bought Canada I (or II) and True North and last I
heard had them in the Carib. where they had an adventrue holiday
going.... I and my friends would challenge you and your friends to a
week so of 12 metre racing against each other.
The same could be done with S&S and perhaps Kookaburra although it migh
be more interesting to do it with Australia II.
