Ladies how much does the size of a man's boat.

[gizmo1979]

matter,would you prefer a large boat or a smaller boat?Or does the size of his boat matter at all?Just something I was wondering,maybe I have boat envy?

[northzax]

1. depends on the boat.

I'm not your target audience here, but there is a heirarchy.

1: Nuclear Submarine
2: Nuclear Aircraft Carrier


but, since those are, well, not in most continent's budgets, we have to move on. there are several qualifying factors that should be taking into account. They are, not in order of importance: locomotion form (power or sail), size, materials used in construction, size of crew you need to run it.

Obviously, the most important thing is the wood. A wooden boat trumps a fibreglass one any day (hey, you either got wood, or you don't)
Next is power source (can your boat handle itself in natural conditions (sail) or do you need a motor to get it running? an equivalent sail boat trumps a motor yacht.
Size is next, but it wraps in with crew. If it's so big that you can't dock it without help, no one wants a piece of that, right? but if it's small enough that it doesn't fill your average dock, you lose points.

that help?

[gizmo1979]

7. I think it's becoming more

evident that big boat is good as long as you can control it without too much help,but you have to have wood.

[DS1]

2. I guess it's relative to the size of your personal pond

[gizmo1979]

8. I suppose you don't want a boat

that's too large for the target you are putting it in.That makes sense.

[Deja Q]

3. Is this a trap?

:rofl:

[ghostsofgiants]

4. Admiral Akbar approves.

(And also approves alliteration, apparently.)

[Ravenseye]

5. I've heard it's Size and Manueverability

I think some ladies prefer a big boat, while other ladies prefer better maneuverability. I've found that nobody complains about a big boat that's so maneuvrable it can turn on a dime.

Also I think that when ladies prefer big boat's, it's not so much about the footage bow to stern, but more about the width of the deck itself. Hence they'd probably prefer a ride on a steamboat with a dance floor, rather than a long and thin crew boat.

[gizmo1979]

6. That clears alot of things up.

thankyou.

[crispini]

9. SNORK!

:rofl:

[Ernesto]

10. I've owned cabin cruisers for years.......

My wife loved my 27' woody (the boat) before our marraige.
22 years later, my 26'er really doesn't much interest her.

[gizmo1979]

17. I can relate to your situation.

I'm hoping that my wife doesn't find another boat more to her liking.

[libodem]

11. It's the motion of the ocean

that rocks my dock, baby.

[gizmo1979]

14. So you're saying

the boat doesn't matter at all it's all about the atmosphere.Bloody hell,I was just figuring this out.

[LaurenG]

12. Boats are not important if you don't have a body of water

to put one in. If you do, I think the quality of the boat is VERY important. :shrug:

on edit: I keep trying to say something(I really want to), but I just can't, so never mind!

[gizmo1979]

16. So a odd shaped boat is better?

[LaurenG]

21. The boat MUST be able to accomplish what it was made for

Shape can interesting, curves etc. Sailing is interesting because the imagination can make sailing ever so much fun. A lot of the best sailing starts in the imagination of the sailors. Now are you going to sink that ship or what? :shrug:

[Deja Q]

30. Trfue. But if you patch the hole first, it won't suffer from leaks.

[Maraya1969]

39. I saw on Discovery Health that you can actually break your boat

You can snap that pipes so to speak. It's fixable but I started to wonder if that was where the bent boats come from. It was the Drew *something* show called *Strictly Sex* (I think)

[gizmo1979]

40. Wow you wouldn't want a

broken boat.That could cause all kinds of problems,with plumbing and everything.

[yvr girl]

13. Before I want to see a guy's boat I need to

have some affection for him. It's really more about the boat owner than the boat itself. That being said, you want something that going to stay afloat and give you a good ride.

[gizmo1979]

15. So durability is also important.

But then the plastic would be better then the wood,that's not true is it?I'm really confused now.

[yvr girl]

19. and design. Don't forget design.

Just make sure your a knowledgeable skipper and know how to navigate.

[skygazer]

18. It's not the size of the boat so much

as the skill with which it's handled. A man who can handle his smaller boat for a long voyage has the advantage of the man whose larger boat runs aground.

[President Jesus]

20. oh...now I get it. You're talking about dick size.

You're all so clever.

[gizmo1979]

25. Jesus!

[Deja Q]

31. Who hasn't thought about Jesus when dick euphemisms are mentioned?

:rofl:

[Rabrrrrrr]

22. It's all about the quantity of seamen

[TahitiNut]

23. While most boathouses accommodate ocean liners and large scows ...

... Kegel makes some very nice sailing gear that'll make even an agile, well-handled ketch a superb weekender or liveaboard.

[SOteric]

24. Well I've no particular interest in a man with a destroyer, and

a kayak cannot accommodate us both.

[xchrom]

26. in some cases it's about the right sized boat for the circumstance.

you don't want an aircraft carrier for shooting the rapids in the grnd canyon.
in fact -- you couldn't get it in there.

on the other hand -- you want a yacht for crossing the atlantic.
it goes with the motion -- it's big andcomfy spots makes ya feel dreamy.
and you can get some great spume when it's full steam ahead.

[Bucky]

27. this boat is big

big, and blastin'

[supernova]

28. I want the biggest boat I can find

This is also attached to the nicest guy I can find. :-)

[Katherine Brengle]

29. Ah, the proverbial "impossible dream-boat" lol--

:wow:

It is possible to find... ;-)

[supernova]

32. I don't know

The seem to slip away from me.... *sigh*

[Katherine Brengle]

34. one of these days, supernova, one of these days. lol. n/t

[gizmo1979]

33. So the size of the boat does matter!?

My boat size isn't in question just sometimes it's hard to start and once started sometimes it conks out halfway to it's destination and restarting can be diffucult.

[Katherine Brengle]

35. I don't think it matters to everyone--

It's a very subjective matter.

Different strokes...

[supernova]

36. Only in that

Well, let's just say I've ridden in my share of dinghies.

I'ld like to see what a cruiseliner feels like.

[xchrom]

37. it's very nice --

the problem is you can get used to the way they float you.

[XemaSab]

38. As long as it's capable of making a long sea voyage

it's all fine by me.

And yes, I am referring to a literal boat, and I'm not creating a sexual metaphor here.

[billyskank]

41. No metaphor?

:hi:

[Pithlet]

42. Locking.

No sex threads.
