This addresses the 2 previous posts without using quotes... I find it amazing that if one is not an unconditional cheerleader for the entire C-Dory range of boats, one automatically lacks the requisite social graces to be accepted as a poster here and ulterior motives are immediately assigned...

I was shorting both BC (Brunswick) and WGO (Winnebago) through stock short sales and put options last year an did quite well. Both will soon be ripe again for another short trade, possibly as early as next Friday when the negative GDP figures are released: a shocker is expected... Niche...

The economy of the US affects the rest of the world's economy, certainly the economy of where I live, hence, my "keen interest": if one can predict well ahead of time the direction of the economy, one can then sell real estate properties and buy Gold, for instance... The other advantage is that...

Most small cat designs are semi-displacement, simply because there is not enough planing surface to make them true planing hulls... I have some experience in larger cats, as I was associated with and own the design and molds of a cruising offshore 46' catamaran: I'll post a couple pics...

The Cape Cruiser/Venture 23 is a remarkable compromise in a pocket cruiser, BUT the Tomcat is not, as it's bridge deck is far too low and blunt towards the bows, which cause pounding... Even the founder of Glacier Bay has now moved to designs with a much higher bridge deck in his new Aspen...

Popular Catamaran builder, TWIN VEE, is now officially out of business... http://www.palmbeachpost.com/business/c ... _0126.html Makes one wonder how much longer C-Dory will survive in this economic climate, where purchases of non-essentials, such as RV's and boats, have been slaughtered...

It's a dual use flag/fishing pole and can - in an emergency - be waved with a yellow life jacket attached to it... The optional flybridge steering station was not required by this client but can be added later at reasonable cost... Never a C-Dory has been so spacious, what with 2 queen sized...

New hybrid cruising C-Dory with full Size Flybridge, specifically designed to a price point where even rednecks can afford it during a Depression...

Do you have a link for this article?... I have been researching published figures on the boat industry trend, which I expect to soon match the 60% drop in RV's sales, as I trade stocks, futures and options for a living and was recently shorting stocks, such as Brunswick (BC) and Winnebago...

Deflation is in for the foreseeable future as it's impossible for the Fed to make up for $15 trillion of US wealth destroyed in bad loans, real estate and stocks losses. The total bailout only comes to $8.5 trillion, so far, while there are still some $2 trillion of financial institutions losses...

You forgot to mention that the US is by far the largest Debtor in the world - in fact, if it was a normal business, it would have been bankrupt long ago - as it needs to borrow $3 billion per day to remain afloat, on which it cannot repay the interest, without more borrowings, let alone the...
