Tartan / C&C issues

[sailingdog]

I find it very interesting that none of the "Tartan owning" Ohio-based posters have seen fit to reply in the last few days... A bit suspicious IMHO... and doesn't say much for their integrity or honesty.

For anyone following this thread...the issue of the deleted Tartan thread is further addressed on this thread.

It is good to know the character of the person you are doing business with. And forums such as this will educate us about the companies CEO's characters.
Good going Cam.

It certainly is: Ohio's Lake Erie Shores & Islands. One of the boats we looked at, a Sabre 28, was in a marina off Lake Erie.

Would it be oxymoronic [is that even a word?] for a sailboat company to apply for a bailout?

Tartan/C&C's problems go way past just being financial.

There is nothing you could name about Tartan that throwing large sums of money at couldn't fix.

Except the complete lack of corporate ethics and responsibility...

I would guess the are doing all of that in an effort to minimize bad PR that might affect a buy out. (Money) The reality is that it is likely to blow-up in their face. However, if they had large amounts of capital they wouldn't be worried about it and could start re-marketing their brand.

They've dug a big hole for themselves and then it started raining; so they dug some more to keep the hole from filling up.
