Vega 1868 For Sail

[albinvega3283]

Hello, All:

The time has come to put Vega #1868 on the block. A number of reasons,
personal in nature, have brought this about.

Anyway, she is every bit as pristine as any 30-year-old sailboat could
possibly be. She has been very well maintained over the years, and I am only her
third owner: The first was a doctor, the second an electrical engineer, then
myself, a retired Submarine Sailor.

Extras include Furlex Roller Furling, which I installed about five years
ago; Fairly new main and genoa, Brand new four-inch foam cushions in the cabin,
and others we can discuss.

The starting asking price is $12,500, negotiable.

The boat can be seen in Mystic, CT. If you are interested, please contact me
at my e-mail address: saylered@... .

Hmmm,
How do you sail a submarine anyway?

Seriously, sounds like a good deal, just 4000 miles away, pity.

I don't know how to sail a submarine, but in the modern navy the structure we used to call a conning tower is called a sail. Seriously

If I had to guess how one sails a submarine, I would guess it is done the same way porcupines make love. Very carefully.

Do you know how you can tell a Polish submarine? It is the one with the screen doors.( My apologies to our Polish members)

As a rule of thumb, when deciding wheher to open the hatches in a submarine, you count the number of dives and the number of ascents and if the result is an even number, it's OK to open them.
