Hey . . . it's bad enough having a boat labled as a "Hybrid" - without you rubbing it in . In actuality though, I will bet that most sailors I know, with "100%" sailboats, use their motors more than I do.

Belgium is not Latin, but some parts, the speak French, which is a Latin based language also. But the people aren't...well they're mixed so I guess some are..

You know I am only joking about the boat..I like all sailboats, even the MAc's

And you're right...I do see a lot of "bulkhead wind" sailors too...

It must be worth a pretty penny, any idea?
Maybe you should go on the Antique Road Show.
You might be able to sell it and buy a new Main Sail.

Well, since I a Coronado 15, I could by a set of sails, and it's worth more than I paid for the boat. But I enjoy playing it too much to sell it. I'm not sure of the actual value now, but I got it for a steal 7 years ago, and the p[rices of vintage mandos has been skyrocketing in the last 3 or 4 years.
