Snapped this yesterday while walking along the False Creek seawall in Vancouver.

Maybe we should do a 'caption this' thing? Here, I'll start:

An aging and mildly senile Captain Nemo, nearly destitute after BP pulled the plug on his "20,000 Leagues Under the Gulf Coast" venture, makes a valiant but sad attempt to remain relevant by refloating his 'Nautilus II' home build.

Discuss.
 
Why would you call it a fail? It is floating after all.

While it certainly is not my cup of tea, I find it of poor taste to insult another's boat (unless it is a Sea Ray).
 
Canadian Navy Admirals Barge (their best one)....
 
What an A-hole. I hope someone posts your boat so we can comment on your stupidy in owning a water craft. Go ahead post a piture of that 1982 Carver so we can laugh!
 
It has character- I like it for what she is! But for a caption....

"Pascal expedites his sailboat build schedule and is ready to sell his Hatteras" :)
 
At least he/she is out enjoying it...I am sitting at work, over 100degrees out today...

Congrats to the builder!!
 
Having shorted the market in housing derivatives, Boudreaux easily found a sucker to purchase his old Carver at top dollar and took his profits to go cruising with his 24 year old girl friend, a former NFL cheerleader and Apple Computer heiress.
 
Okay, okay... it struck me as funny at the time, but it was judgmental and insulting of me to post it. My apologies to the builder and to the forum.
 
I wouldn't sweat it Raps. I doubt the "builder" took the whole thing a whole lot more seriously than you did.
 
Have we lost all sense of humor here at Boatered? Since when do we take ourselves so seriously?
 
Well isn't it all the PC rage lately to search high and low for something to be offended by?

I am glad you posted this apology- Pascal has been VERY upset that people are poking fun of his new sailboat!!

haha- obviously kidding Pascal- I am sure your sailboat will look great once you get past the primer brown stage! ;)
 
Well it will look a little better... Hopefully!

I have to agree with Brian about the need to lighten up a little
 
It may be quite unique looking, but how do you know it wasn't made as a concept boat and then sold? There may be a demand for sail boats with a fan-tail!
