I think I’ve finally decided on a cruising yacht. Dana and I are are planning to take an extended cruise in 2008, and this is just the boat to do it.
Try to imagine it without the roller furling main. And with maybe a pirate flag on the backstay. First person to guess the boat type wins a kewpie doll.
I.P. (phrf-250)

No. Sorry. Not an Island Packet. And it rates 165, thank you very much.
No kewpie doll for you.

And when I add 3 feet of roach to the main and whip out my 185% nylon drifter, the rating will go down to like, 159.

Gulf Star? Oh hell no.
Still no kewpie doll.

Caliber LRC…and you’ll need like 3′ of keel and 300 sqft of sail area to sail to a 159 rating. Especially after Dana adds 27,000 lbs of clothes, shoes and makeup to every bin on the boat ;)…now, wheres my kewpie doll?

You win. Here’s your doll: http://www.toyzine.com/sale/dolls/kewpie_rbr01.jpg
Have fun with it.
Dana has promised me that she will add no more than 1000 lbs of clothes and makeup. The shoes, however, could be problematic.

I thought I was the only object of your affection:/ She is pretty though….

I don’t think I can accept the prize. My P.O. and therapist would both be very angry if they caught me with that doll…its kinda scary looking anyway!

I think it’s cute. Kind of looks like Mikey (yes the little one). Big cheeks, no neck, big belly, big head. Ok maybe that fits dad a little too.
