Neighbour from Hell, last episode.

Oh quit your cryin' about the damn kid. If his mast falls on your boat it'll give you an excuse to have the insurance company pay for a new one that actually works. What can that kid break on your matchstick boat that you haven't already broken yourself?

As far as cutting up the boat, I don't see the big deal. We've got a guy on sailnet that is doing the same thing to his boat. Nobody cares much because it's just a Catalina and he needs the solar power to run his cuisinart. If he owned a Hanse he might even sail. He's got a book out on BBQ, maybe your tripping-face neighbor would like a copy.

In the dark, you can't tell the difference between the Portugese and the French; they both smell the same.

And what's with all this picking on the French? If every other decade of so the German army decided to drive through your flowerbed, you'd be neurotic too!

"Camaraderie", in the ancient usage, means love of those who bend over.

I have to agree. There were some real nice, quiet, polite guys around here of note. None were sailors, but Jeffrey Dahmer, Ed Gein, Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy, Alexander Spesivtsev, Pedro Alonso López, David Berkowitz, and my personal fav Richard "The Iceman" Kuklinski were all real nice guys. Most had people in there lives that couldn't believe the things they did even after undeniable evidence was brought against them.

I'm not saying "the sailboat hacker" is a criminal, but you never know. Who knows what will tip off someone who is suffering a mental illness? Maybe he doesn't like the way you say hi to him today, maybe he just thinks he'd look fancy as hell wearing your face like a mask while he eats cheerios out of your skull cap. It puts the lotion in the basket. Put the *!@#ing lotion in basket!

Alex, you should have seen my wife's face when I played her that video of the grinding and sawing noises. I think she believes that I should work that hard on *our* boat.

I just stumbled on to this set of threads... OMG I can't believe it... I just can't wrap my head around the financial damage, neglect of child, and holy cow man... we need to do some dumpster diving!

Is there any chance you could find a unfortunate soul around the city who would accept 50 euros to go drill a hole in the hull? That craziness needs to end - it's unhealthy for anyone who even remotely brushes shoulders with this incident. Someone is going to die.

You should consider submitting it to Darwin awards when he sets sail!

I just showed my wife these pictures... she is speechless too.

Ah well some good comes out of everything.

I am in the market for a very well modified Hanse... shoot me a number will ya - I'll trade fair and square for a real working meth lab

Is english not good enough for you??? what does how right wing super conservative republican anti-democrat SA have to say about this?? Huh???

Monsieur Camaraderie??? Vous n'avez rien á dire?? Amateur des Francais....bastardo sujo.....

In my Country we say:

"he who has glass roof should not throw stones at his neighbours"...MORE OR LESS

Alex... I must say, your posts continually crack me up! You have quite the way w/ words, esp. since ANGLAIS is not your native tongue.

And BTW, sorry you had such a miserable experience here recently, but whaddya expect in someplace that's so far from the freaking OCEAN?

I say we form a Sailnet consortium and BUY the freaking Hanse from the Dad for pennies on the Euro. (oh, wait, that's about all the DOLLAR is worth these days! ) and then rehab it for member's use only.
