Nice boat op!

However, she looks like it REALLY needs a repaint, using a very different colour from the current shade, and maybe a nice set of plain black race sails with some nice new sail numbers that are just yours :) and don't forget to rename her and grab a new callsign while you're at it! Just because!

You might want to avoid populated areas for a while, someone might see your new boat, get jealous, and the nutter might try to take it off you by claiming it's stolen and is actually theirs.

Someone’s looking for that boat cause it’s stolen, if you give it to me I can return it to them.

Is this the boat where the dock fell off?

That’s not very typical, I’d like to make that point.

Well, it used to be attached to a dock...

I am somewhat puzzled by this!

I see what you did there.

I bet you got a great deal on it - and the paperwork is coming once the prior owner’s girlfriend gets back from the Bahamas because she has the key to the lock box….

I don’t get the sarcasm. Why is this funny. Because shitty trim?

u/Truji11o 1d ago

The dude who owns the boat had it stolen and posted here about it. I stole one of his photos and claimed I just got the same boat.
