You need to be careful about the names you throw around, Jack. Some of us actually are friends with the people you are talking about.
I know Oliver Moore of yachting magazine. I have spent time on his boat at the ocean reef club in key largo. He has never heard of you and knows nothing about a yacht sale to his treasurer.
I agree he knows nothing about my sales from and to the, then treasurer of Yatching Magazine. We did the last deal in Trader Vic's (by then they were divorced and each one gave me a check for half the deal) Guess who the boat was given to. You are neuveau.
In addition, I have contacted Glen Larson to determine if he has even ever heard of you let alone hosted an event with your students. Will advise of the response.
The number is 1-800-802-3282 (from memory....lol) The location was NYC; it is across the river from where you live.

really jack? In the cove?
What size size was your yacht.
Where did you have it specifically.
Was in moored or did you have tied up with all the small boats.
Quote from jack hershey:
200 pound mushroom on 3/4 inch chain. My dinghy was in a slip on a pontoon dock at the park. I could not bring my boat into the dock area (too much draft) when tides were the usual.
I also sailed out of Maine. Wife's family had a dark harbor 12 and a friendship ketch rigged. Both were moored at end of Handcock Point on east side of the point.
Luckily, I have had some great racing experience and knew a few great designers and skippers.
thanks for asking.
Quote from jem:
still waiting for something substantive.
by the way I grew up in Greenwich..
you claim they could fit big boats down at the Marina?
How long was your boat?
Quote from jack hershey:
My bad.
There was no marina, just a power boat club at the head of the dock.
No big boats could come into the public docks. An owner of the Green Lantern did have a float to one extreme side (port sideupon entry) of the interior cove. His boat was yawl riggd and built in Holland thus the shallow draft on the keel 4 tons of keel my guess). I only had 2 tons and it ws Swedish design.
The King's Cruiser is well documented. Mine was US 122. ET has posted pics of it in the past.
I lived in Rock Ridge between the ages of 29 and 34. You could see my home (4 bedrooms, heated garage, etc....) from the back courts of the Greenwich Tennis club.
Quote from jem:
I presume you mean the Field Club.
I played at a different club (baliwick) .. but as a kid I played tennis at the Field Club a few times a summer.
One summer while I was in grad school I was the Tennis Pro at Burning Tree... the summer after they had to kick Ivan Boesky out of the club. I taught tennis to or worked out a few of the early hedge fund guys.

With that said, how do you account for the preponderance of altruistic teacher types on this site who just "want to help" ?
