  1. Going to Phoenix on the 8th of next month and returning the 13th, what part of Nevada? Leaving from Grand Junction Colorado and going thru Flagstaff. Got 2 days to get home so I could make a side trip.
  2. I'm gonna be in Long Beach on the 23rd. Anyone in the area have a Vacationer or Weekender I could see in person? Only gonna be there for 2 days for work and would like to see one up close if I could.
  3. Heard from them today. They aren't taking phone orders or e-mail orders at this time so I'll send out a money order in the morning. So, I figure I'll see the plans real soon. Thanks for everyone's input. Just can't wait to get started......
  4. Buying them from someone else wouldn't be right would it? I thought 1 set of plans 1 boat. At least that's how I understood it. Guess I'll just wait and hear from them when they get to it, weathers not that great right now any way.
  5. Greg, thanks for the link, just getting antsy. Frankly the motorcycle thing has been boring me for about the last three years, but it's a living. I really miss sailing since moving here, and last summer just made it worse. Just wanna get started. Judging by some peoples signatures it seems there may be some parrotheads about.
  6. A Vacationer. Just waiting on the plans and the weather to cooperate.
  7. Any idea how long it takes to tpically hear back to confirm plan orders?
  8. While I'm sure his boat is top notch, I just gotta build my own. Building bikes for me has always been enjoyable, and I feel if you don't build her yourself, she'll always be someone elses. As much as I enjoy riding my bikes, alot of the enjoyment comes from my building them, and I feel the boat will be the same. I guess it's the satisfaction of doing it yourself. Besides, I don't have alot of woodworking experience, so I get to learn some new things along the way. Again, thanks but I just gotta build it. As an aside being that I live on the Utah/Colorado border ( Grand Junction Colorado) for now, are there any Vacationers or Weekenders you know of in this area I could see first hand?
  9. Talked it over with da "Boss", she says build the Vacationer sail her 2 years and we'll start on a larger boat, so I guess I have time to decide on the Sharpie later............not gonna do anything if it doesn't warm up -2 with a high of 20 for the next 5 days with snow tomorrow and Sunday. So if I'm right in my calculations 3500 to 5000 for a nicely finished Vacationer? Seems like alot of fun for little money.
  10. Any thoughts on the 32 foot Mystic Sharpie, difficulty, price, weight etc. ?I'm still 99% sure I want to build a Vacationer, but I did stumble on this fine looking boat. Man if it wasn't so cold outside I would already be building, instead of looking at all kinds of trailer sailor sites.
  11. BUt they are on T.V.... Just found out I have to go to Milwaukee for a class from work, why can't they send you anywhere warm?
  12. How cold is it where you are? Damn I hate single digits. Way too cold for anything nautical.
  13. I wouldn't classify that as cut bait............a little small don't you think? Seriously though, I remember one time catching something a little bigger on a pilcher {bait} rig once, best 5 minute fight of my life.
  14. Throw it back.............hell where I come from we would use that as bait for small fish. I remember I caught one that
  15. Hope this finds everyone safe and have a happy holiday however you celebrate it........
