   HEY!  Under these conditions, I just changed my mind about sailing. By the way,
   you can tell me it's none of my business (or ignore me altogether), but why
   throw $ into the water if you don't get any enjoyment from it? 

The message on rec.aviation made it clear that I recieved the boat as
partial payment from a guy that owed my partner some money.  A *lot*
of money.  I didn't want the boat... just the money. :-)

So I'm the proud owner of a really big (44-foot) sailboat, minus
another builder's lien on it.  But I'd really rather have a Cessna
Mixmaster or a Mooney TLS. :-)

Just another impatient boat owner,
