[quote=erice]i saw an ad once for an old boat

"cheap or free"

went round to see the guy and it was pretty much a basket case, so i told him i would only be interested if it was free, he said ok

so i asked him where all the parts were and if he could give me a hand rig it as it had sat in storage for many years, we rigged it all up and he was looking very wistful so i told him to go take it out for a good sail

he did

and when he came back asked me if i was interested instead in a half share

i said, like what?, i fix it all up and maintain it and you sail it whenever you want, no thank you!

so he said, fine you can't have the boat

i walked off in disgust

at the end of the season as it was now sailable, only just, he sold it to a newbie for a $300

the noob struggled with it all the next year

and then put it back in storage when he realised what a piece of crap it was.....

moral of the story

if you can afford it

buy a boat of your own
