Re: Canadians: Station License or not?
Maritime Radio Licensing Requirements for Canadians
Licence<---refers to the Radio Station Equipment. Nothing to do with an authorization for using/operating" a two way marine radio.
Do I need a licence for the marine radio equipment on board my vessel?
Depends. You will not require a licence (Licence Exemption) if you meet both of the following criteria:
1. the vessel is not operated in the sovereign waters of a country other than Canada.
2. the radio equipment on board is maritime communications or marine navigation frequencies only.
Industry Canada RBR-2 — Technical Requirements for the Operation of Mobile Stations in the Maritime Service - Spectrum Management and Telecommunications (RBR-2)
Certification <-----refers to the authorization for using/operating" a two way marine radio.
Do I still require a Radio Operator Certificate?
Yes. The Radio Operator Certificate (ROC-M for pleasure boaters) is still a requirement for anyone who may be operating the mobile maritime radio equipment, regardless of whether a radio licence is required. In other words, always.
If I use a single-sideband (SSB) radio equipment on my vessel, will I require a licence?
Depends. If the frequencies used on SSB are in the maritime mobile band and you are sailing as per exemption, no. If outside this band, Yes a licence will be required. If in International waters, Yes. And of course you will need your ROC-M as always.
If I have radar on board my ship, will I require a licence?
Depends. Most radars operate on frequencies contained within the maritime mobile band and if you are sailing as per
exemption, no. If outside this band, yes a licence will be required. If in International waters,yes. and of course you will need your ROC-M as always. You can verify if your radar operates within this band by referring to RBR-2.
If I was previously issued a call sign, but now meet the exemption criteria, can I continue to use my old call sign?
No. Instead use vessel's name if exempted. The call sign previously issued is no longer valid and should not be used as a means of
identification. Yes if you have licensed station. Power Sail Squadron recommends Vessel name + Industry Canada issued Callsign.
I have a radio installed on board my vessel which operates on frequencies outside the maritime mobile band. Do I require a radio licence?
Yes. However if we are talking Ham, in Canada they call Amateur Radio authorizations "operator certificates" as they did away with Station Licences.
Portable Radios
I have a portable radio(s) which operates in the maritime mobile band that I use on board my vessel for communicating with my dingy or for docking, etc. Do I need a radio licence for it?
Depends. If you have one or more portables which operate in the maritime mobile band, and which meet the exemption criteria, a radio licence is Not required. If in International waters, Yes. and of course you will need your ROC-M as always. I use a portable radio on board my vessel that operates on frequencies outside the maritime mobile band. Do I require a radio licence?
Yes, however if we are talking Ham, in Canada they call Amateur Radio authorizations "operator certificates" as they did away with Station
I have a portable radio on board my vessel which operates in the maritime mobile band. Can I also use this on land?
Never. The intent of the maritime mobile bands is to provide safety communications to ships or vessels. Only specifically authorized stations (IC/FCC) , are allowed to use radio equipment on land. Unauthorized use could have a serious impact on the effectiveness of this safety service.
Can I use maritime radio equipment on land or in my vehicle for personal use?
No., maritime radio equipment should not be operated on land or in vehicles for personal use. The intent of the maritime mobile bands is toprovide safety communications to vessels. The Coast Guard is the primary user for fixed Maritime. Sometimes marinas and yacht clubs receive authority to use maritime land based stations but they will be paying a yearly Station Licence fee for that privilege if granted.
Does the licence exemption apply to everyone, including safety services and commercial operations?
Will compulsorily fitted vessels still require a radio licence?
No, as long as the exemption criteria is met, i.e Operating in Canada. Operators need certifications of course.
Will marina radio equipment and other land-based radios which operate in the maritime mobile bands also be exempt from the requirement of a licence?
No Fixed base stations installed at, for example, marinas or yacht clubs will still require a radio licence. The exemption applies only to stations on board a ship or vessel (Mobile).
How do I obtain a ROC-M operators certificate?
In Canada as a Canadian you phone up the local Power Sail Squadron.
How do I get my Station Licence for all of the above (VHF Marine, SSB , Radar, etc) and how much do I pay?
http://strategis.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/s...g/sf08764.html <-------Form IC-3020
http://www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/smt-gst...g/sf01742.html <-----------Where to send
Initial Fee= approx $50.00
Renewal= $36.00
Equipment Certification <-----------------this refers to the actual equipment meeting Canadian technical standards
All transmitting devices (Radio Apparatus) must have a sticker affixed to it called a TAC. The label will have initials IC plus a number.
If a two way radio from a foreign country is installed and being used in the country not intended for, problems like improper band plan frequency programming could occur. If poor design/manufacturing standards are used, spurious emmissions may result and could pollute very important bands like the Maritime Band. BTW, FCC Certification does not mean IC certification. Have you ever looked the differences in The Canadian Maritime band versus the American? How about GMRS radios? Even the ham band is a bit different.
What do the Professional Sailors have for Operator Certificates in Canada?
GOC, ROC-MC and other legacy certifications.
Did you ever wonder why a professional occupation existed and exists called Ship's Radio Officer?
Re: Canadians: Station License or not?
Bahamas cruising permit - from Noonsite (great site)
Cruising Permits
The Cruising Permit, form C39, (transire) is issued on arrival is valid for 12 months. The current fees now permit multiple entries during any 90-day period, which means that a vessel may leave the Bahamas and re-enter as many times as they like within the first 90 days of a Cruising Permit's validity, without payment of any additional fee.
Yachts may remain in The Bahamas for a maximum of three years, but yearly extensions after the first year must be obtained from Bahamas Customs in Nassau. Each extension costs $500 payable by bank draft in favour of "The Public Treasury". Procedures for the extension should be started before the expiry of the current permit. Letters of request should be addressed to: Comptroller of Customs, P O Box N.155, Nassau. The number of the existing permit should be quoted and a copy enclosed for reference. More information available by calling (800)327-7678.
The cruising permit gives permission to visit all other islands in the Bahamas archipelago. The permit must be presented to officials if requested at any port visited or if boarded by the Royal Bahamas Defence Force. The permit must be retained on board at all times until the cruise is finished, then handed back at the port of exit. If for any reason one is unable to clear outbound, which is not required, the permit should be mailed back from the next destination. Immigration papers should also be returned on exit.

Jackdale and Ritchard... Thanks, I think I got it. (I think Jackdale's comment about the VHF license still applies, since I would need my VHF license to operate a VHF on someone else's (Station Licensed) boat. Interesting, though, that I was totally unaware of the need for a Station License when operating in the U.S.. I wonder how many of the Canadian Lake Ontario sailors who head south across the lake on weekends to go anchoring comply with this. I am afraid I am not the only one who was ignorant. There was a time, pre-9/11, when you could get a permit to enter the U.S. with your vessel reasonably easily... All past history now, unfortunately. The bureaucratic burdens of the ordinary life are ever increasing, even for those intrepid, free-spirited sail-bums... It seems that anyone of us, at any time, can be in trouble on any number of "technicalities". Next, a cruising permit such as the Bahamas?
Re: Canadians: Station License or not?
I'd still like some anecdotal commentary about enforcement. The advice above to not fool around is good, solid, very conservative advice. I wonder if it is in fact too conservative.
Re: Canadians: Station License or not?
My three answer needs to be considered together.
Re: Canadians: Station License or not?
Forgive me, but I believe Jackdale is once again in error about the first part of the question above.
flandria asks:
"I do have the VHF operator license required in Canada. I understand from comments given that this is sufficient to operate a VHF in the U.S. Someone say true or false."
Jackdale responds true. It is not. To operate the radio (or even operate your boat with a radio affixed) in the US, you need a Canada issued Station License.
The next statement which contradicts the first is in fact the correct answer. Industry Canada issues the license - see my link above. This link:
IC-3020 — Application for a Maritime Mobile Radio Station Licence - Spectrum Management and Telecommunications
Is actually an easier to understand application document. It lists a pro-rated application fee depending on the month in which you apply. Which is odd, actually. The recurring fee is presently $36.
Re: Canadians: Station License or not?
Thank you Jackdale.
Someone who knows has answered your question.
Don't even think of operating your VHF without proper paperwork in place.
Re: Canadians: Station License or not?

When entering the U.S., I conclude from the comments that my boat will need a Station License. True or false? Is this a license issued by U.S. authorities, or Canadian? Where to apply? Is this, like the Canadian VHF license, a one-time charge or a recurring cost? Will precise answers to these questions explain the entire issue?
When all is said and done, my strong recommendation to anyone is: comply with the rules since you may run a risk of having your vessel (if not yourself) impounded when found in breach. We should not be cavalier, given that the officials you may be dealing with will most certainly not be, either!
Re: Canadians: Station License or not?

Your Canadian ROC(M) is sufficient as an operator certificate. You do not require, nor is there an international operator's certificate. The Canadian station license is required in in international waters and your need an ROC(M) is get one.

A Canadian teenager is outraged because police arrested and charged his teacher with a sex-related offence because the two of them discussed the impact of the teacher's recent break up with a man. The sixteen year-old denies there ever was any sexual contact or relations between the teacher and himself. "She never touched me. Police have taken this way too far. When they told me she was going to be charged, I was speechless." The police said the teacher, dina Calattui, a married woman with a young child, was being charged with touching the girl's leg. The two had been involved in an Internet discussion in which the teenager exchanged ideas and feelings with the teacher. The police stated: "There is no suggestion any sexual intercourse took place. the other offences involve conversations between them in their residences. These are offences because she is in a position of authority and he can't consent because he is not 18."
Newspaper reporters discovered that many students in the school were shocked and regarded Ms. Calattui as an outstanding teacher who had helped them. Bruce Campbell, spokesperson for the district, pointed out there was no school board policy pertaining to teachers and students discussing issues online. This incident raises a variety of issues regarding student-teacher relations in the modern world. It has become common for teachers to interact online with students. In the course of such interactions many topics may arise which others might construe as inappropriate. However, if educators are to use technology, they must be able to have some flexibility in what can or cannot be discussed.

AMES, Iowa – A crop scouting competition for high school youth is scheduled for Aug. 1 at the Iowa State University Extension Farm near Boone. High school students (those completing grades 9-12) are invited to compete and showcase their scouting abilities in corn and soybean during this one-day event. The competition is conducted by the Iowa State University Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program with support from the Iowa Soybean Association (ISA) and DuPont Pioneer.
"The crop scouting competition gives high school students a chance to learn crop scouting and principles of integrated pest management," said Daren Mueller, ISU Extension IPM specialist. "Teams are provided IPM study materials to prepare for the competition. The day of the competition they will complete a knowledge test as well as a crop scouting field exercises."
Schools, clubs or other organizations may enter a team composed of three or four participants. Each team of students must be accompanied by an adult team leader. Teams have the opportunity to gather information, solve problems and make decisions related to crops and their pests with consideration for the environment and economy. Competition judges will consist of ISU Extension specialists and agribusiness personnel.
"Iowa's FFA and 4-H chapters are filled with incredibly talented individuals," ISA President Mark Jackson said. "This Crop Scouting Competition allows them to showcase those talents and mingle with crop professionals and industry representatives. The Iowa Soybean Association is proud to again be a part of this unique event."
Teams must register by June 1
The registration form and competition preparation instructions are available at www.ipm.iastate.edu/ipm/cropscouting. Registration is $50 per team; the fee will be refunded when the team attends the competition. Payment by check is due along with the registration form by June 1.

Well done, it looks great!
Well done, it looks great!
looking a little more symetrical but very untidy (putty all over it). I also installed the curved plate behind the rocket housing.
That is turning out absolutely wonderful Did you start the rocket yet?
i remember when mine looked like that. sure is getting there. nice work
I have finally gotten of my backside and done some more on this kiddie. Its still very rough around the edges and needs a lot of sanding (and a bit more filling). I am currently working on the fuel cell caps (thanks WoF for the templates ).
anyway here it is.......
WOW!! Great job Jon!
smooth that thing out and you'll have one of the best scratches here
Hey Quinn
it is almost done now. I was just waiting to get a good coat of primer on it before i posted more pics. There is only one thing i don't like on it though and that is the diameter of the fuel cells (they are too narrow). This in turn has made the cell caps look too tall (you will see in the next load of pics).
Well just bought some 2 inch wooden balls for my thrusters. I will post pics ASAP as i want ot have them finished by the weekend.
Great Jet Pack
Whoa! That is an insanely good scratchbuild!!! Kudos to you!
I really let the dust build up on my scratchbuild 2.0 for the jet pack. I wanted to mold it up so i can make a sturdy reproduction and have a hollow inside for goodies and stuff. School must have gotten in the way and I put it off .
Yours is definately looking kit worthy. Dunno if you have the resources but this turned out very nice
Its ok but the fuel cells are too narrow (should be approx 64mm in diameter and mine are only about 54mm wide). Still it will do as version 1. When i eventually finish it, I might think about upgrading the fuel cells to the correct width, then if i can figure out a feasible way to do it, i might cast it. Just got to get this bl00dy bucket finished first (it will be molded again next month).
thanks for all the really kind comments though guys, i feel kinda humbled as i know there are far better scratch built JP's out there.
Awsome jet pack mate! look spot on!
I decided before i got any further with this bad boy that i would correct the fuel cells. The old one were far too narrow and thanks to Mandalore697 (Dan) i managed to get the correct size tubing. See what you all think.
There is a before photo and two modified.
That looks awesome mate, and a lot better too. I'm looking forward to seeing mine all completed now!
That looks GREAT Jon. Congrats
Cheers guys. those comments mean a lot to me
once again, thanks Dan for the tubing. You are a star mate

Editor's Note: Whether you're a tourist or an office worker in downtown Chicago, you can get sick of eating at chain restaurants all day. So we've started a series to get you the lowdown on where to find a great and affordable lunch.
Brunch is always served on the weekends, which makes me wonder—what do you call breakfast for lunch during the week? I vote we call it "blunch." Blunch still gets the point across, and at the same time, it isn't brunch. Let's make this happen. Blunch.
Moving right along, it can be difficult to find a place that does breakfast all day down in the Loop. Most places stop serving breakfast around 10:30 in the morning, which means no egg sandwiches or pancakes for your lunch, resulting in a blind Dennis rage expressed in this video clip. There are, of course, a few diners downtown, but not many. Thankfully, we have Yolk, a popular breakfast/brunch (and now blunch) spot that has four locations and counting; the Loop location is on South Michigan Avenue. All Yolk locations are open till 3 p.m., meaning you can get yourself a serious blunch.
Yolk's menu is huge, so it's difficult to cover all ground. There's French toast, five-egg omelets (yes, five eggs), pancakes, waffles and lots more; basically, all the blunch food groups live at Yolk. So we stuck to a few favorites for this facehole stuffing session. This bad boy is a crisp corned beef hash ($9.49) with your choice of eggs on top. The hash is satisfyingly crispy on the edges; the corned beef and potatoes are finely minced, rather than the chunkified versions you sometimes see out in the wild.
It's a great version of the diner staple, and bites mixed with egg hit that balanced combination of salty, savory, and rich goodness. It's no wonder breakfast makes such perfect hangover food.
If the corned beef hash wasn't enough, you can opt for a side of pancakes (included in price). Yolk's aren't particularly fluffy—they're a slightly denser, cake-like pancake. Ours came out a touch gummy in the middle, meaning they could have used a little more time on the griddle.
Eggs Benedict ($10.49) is the king of all breakfasts, brunches, and blunches. Those of you who don't agree, well, you're wrong. There are a variety of Eggs Benedict on the menu, but I stuck to the classic version. The English muffin is topped with a thick piece of Canadian bacon, a perfectly runny poached egg (heaven), and just enough hollandaise sauce to cover each egg. I mean, come on—eggs, ham, and an English muffin, covered in an egg yolk and butter sauce? Can it get any better? I'm ignoring the cardiologists who are shouting in back.
I'm happy to report that Yolk's version is a well-executed version of the classic. There aren't any surprises here, it's just a delicious plate that captures the Eggs Benedict experience as it should be. One of my favorite parts about eating Eggs Benedict is eating the side of potatoes coated in a mixture of egg yolk and excess hollandaise. The potatoes at Yolk are soft, not crispy, but they are cooked to the point where the interior is creamy and velvety in texture. Normally I like my potatoes crunchy, but these are good in a different way.
If you're just not in the mood for breakfast, you can have a salad, a burger, or a sandwich. The prime rib sandwich ($10.49) is their specialty, and it's a carnivore's delight. They pile a huge mound of prime rib on a pretzel bun, and top it off with grilled red onions and a peppercorn and horseradish sauce. Yes, it's as heavy as it looks. The prime rib is fatty, tender, and very rich—rich to the point where I would suggest stopping at half of it before a cardiologist springs out of the shadows to slap the sandwich out of your hands. The amount of meat is generous, and the peppery horseradish sauce helps cut through the richness of the beef while clearing your sinuses at the same time.
For a side, skip the siren call of the French fries and go straight to the onion chips. The onion chips are just small slices of onion which are battered and deep fried, resulting in a crunchy onion petal that's a lot of fun to eat. If you've ever had a Bloomin' Onion (crikey!) or an Awesome Blossom, this'll be familiar to you.
I'm one of those people who craves breakfast often, mostly because I could eat eggs all the time without getting sick of them. If you're craving brunch during the week, haul ass down to Yolk on your lunch break and treat yourself to a nice big blunch.

Mallorca trip for 1Xtra
Later this month, come July 21st, the event 1Xtra Live is going to take place at the Magaluf Mallorca Rocks venue. The station itself will broadcast it on the same day.
Fazer, who has enjoyed past hits such as I Need You and We Dance On as part of N-Dubz will be there, performing alongside - we presume – some music gear.
Jessie Ware and Rudimental are among the other performers set to feature, following in the footsteps of the acts that performed last year, such as Chipmunk.
Tickets for the event are free. Registration is possible via the 1Xtra website until July 9th.
"Last year was incredibly hyper. I'm really looking forward to seeing all our listeners on holiday, and the buzz we will create bringing 1Xtra and Radio 1 to the island," commented Trevor Nelson, who is set to appear at the event too.

The ringmaster at the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus always welcomes "ladies and gentlemen and children of all ages" to the Greatest Show on Earth each year when the big show rolls into EnergySolutions Arena.
Such was the case Thursday night as the circus opened its five-day run with elephants, tigers, clowns, acrobats, animal acts, trapeze artists and, in this year's 142nd edition, a martial arts troupe.
My date for the night was one of those "children of all ages." And my 86-year-old mother, Vi, watched in wonder, expressed bits of frustration and paid rapt attention to the spectacle that surrounded her.
"Scary!" she exclaimed when she looked up to the arena ceiling as a motorcyclist and two acrobats performed a high-wire act.
"That's amazing!" she said at another point.
"They're good, huh?" reflected Mom after watching the Dragon Riders, a group of eight motorcyclists racing around in a tight steel ball.
"I wonder if those animals are happy," she asked several times as lions, tigers and elephants went through their paces.
Mom was a bit of a critic, too. She wanted more clowns and didn't think the ones who performed were that funny. She got a bit impatient waiting for the elephants to appear in the second half. She missed having the circus outdoors like she remembered from her childhood.
"This seemed like a modern version of an old-fashioned circus," she opined as we walked away from the arena.
There was a lot of reality to that statement. The circus mixes plenty of tradition with bits of modern pizazz.
The ringmaster often uses the word "unprecedented" to describe acts like a trapeze artist doing a triple somersault, martial arts experts breaking solid oak rods with their heads or the eight motorcyclists in the steel ball.
There is so much variety and so much going on that the extraordinary can sometimes seem almost ordinary after two hours.
Like Mom, I had a few criticisms.
First, due to the always interesting acoustics at EnergySolutions Arena and the loudness of the traditional circus band, I had trouble understanding much of anything the ringmaster said, especially when he was singing.
Second, this was billed as the "Dragons" version of the circus and, though the theme was played on LED screens with circus wagons and in various themed production numbers throughout the night, the whole idea was underwhelming. Even the payoff at the end, which I won't spoil for those who go, seemed a bit lame.
Finally, parents need to be warned to bring lots of cash if they want to purchase any souvenirs. The prices, always on the high side, seemed even worse than normal this year. Fifteen bucks, for example, is pretty steep for a simple color program.
I wasn't particularly disappointed that only a portion of the show was a true three-ring circus. The second half of the show started with horse, dog and cat acts in three different rings.
Otherwise, this was pretty much a one-act-at-a-time circus. The fact that I had to split my time between watching trained cats in one ring and dogs in the other, all the while comparing them to my domestic pets, was testimony that sometimes less is more.
All that aside, part of the fun of going to the circus is just watching the kids point, scream, clap and look at the show in wide-eyed wonder. Add to that a chance to see the animals outdoors 90 minutes before showtime and a pre-show where families can interact with performers on the arena floor an hour before the circus begins and most will find the circus a wild and enjoyable experience.
Just ask my mom.
Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus
Where • EnergySolutions Arena.
When • Sunday, 1:30 and 5:30 p.m.; Monday, 7 p.m. An animal open house begins 90 minutes before each showtime in a parking lot south of the arena and a pre-show that allows fans to interact with performers on the arena floor starts 60 minutes before the main event.
Ticket prices • $18 to $85.
Bottom Line • Children of all ages should enjoy traditional animal acts, trapeze artists, clowns, motorcycle stunts and martial artists. The dragon theme might appeal to some but seemed a bit overhyped.

The conventional wisdom is that it can need to be replaced every twenty years (although some people go much longer). Our deck was just replaced by the prior owner.

It's a bolt out of the blue, and again, feel free to ignore, but look at this:
1975 Nautor Swan Sail Boat For Sale - www.yachtworld.com
These older Swans are tanks, you can have 2 girls in bed in the pilot berths while you play scrabble on the saloon table. The cabin is not so large that you can get pitched across it and injured while at sea, it has a true seagoing galley for preparing meals underway. It will probably come with a bunch of gear, has full safety gear (which I can attest is quite expensive). It apparently sailed in the 2000 Newport-Bermuda, which has one of the most stringent safety inspections. Being a pedigreed boat, will always be worthy of upgrades. And it will sail well.
I have a boat with pilot and quarter berths, and have hundreds of offshore miles with a little kid aboard. The ability to put him in a snug, secure pilot berth with a lee cloth when he was 8 years old offshore was invaluable. Secure single bunks for the off watch are not a luxury, they are a necessity.
If you are going to stay near shore or just daysail and weekend, ignore me.
Good luck!
|I don't know these boats but according to PHRFNE, Sabre 42 rates ~96. Sabre 402 (newer Jim Taylor design) rates 66-72.
Sabre vs other boats mentioned
Sabres are meant to be sailed, designed by a world class designer (Jim Taylor) and built extremely well. The 42 is not that slow and rates 66-72 not 90. It also can be or was customized at the factory. A freind of mine had one built with 3 cabins, owners, kids, and nanny's. Comparable in price to a Tartan, the Sabre is considerably better built. All the angular exterior surfaces on the Sabre have beveled edges, not so the Tartan. Could be because Sabre owns premium mold maker North End Composites which also supplies Hinckley. Check the fit and finish closely. The Sabre construction method is to lay up the hull, fit all the interior carpentry, put deck on and score, take deck off, remove carpentry (furniture) take to varnish shop and put 6 coats on, reinstall furniture, and then reinstall the deck. Look closely at the hull of Sabre at the next boatshow and then compare it with the others. You will see the difference.
Granted, the Beneteaus, Catalinas, and Hunters can have more dockside amenities they are certainly built to a price. Sabres tend to be sweet sailing machines that are stiff with quality interiors and components. Tartans are priced similarly but have had recent service problems which have been detailed elsewhere and their design pedigree is not as strong since they got away from Sparkman Stephens as their designer.
My order of US production boatbuilders price/quality Sabre, Island Packet, Tartan, Catalina, Hunter.
The pilot berths are outboard of the settees amidship, in the saloon (main cabin). Quarter berths are aft of the galley and nav station, tucked under the cockpit. On my boat the quarter berth is open to the main cabin. On that Swan they are in a separate cabin aft. It looks like there is a pass-thru from the galley to the starboard Q-berth.
Most people feel that, being further aft, there is a little less motion under way in the quarter berth. My experience is that, being under the cockpit, it is a little more prone to noise overhead from the cockpit. Bunks forward of the mast are useless when underway.
On our boat, the little guy can lie in his pilot berth and read, and still take part in conversations. On the Swan, the aft cabin would provide more privacy. If your girls are young, this way the little ones get their own beds, plus they are still part of the evening. I like pilot berths.
On our boat, for coastal cruising we put up the lee cloth on the quarter berth, aft of the nav station, and use it as a catch all stowage area, since the Admiral and I sleep forward. When we go offshore, that gear gets stowed forward and we set up the quarter berth for sleeping.
Be forwarned, that Swan will be a lot "cozier" than a more modern boat the same length, but you don't really need that much room. And when the wind picks up and kicks a nasty chop, that will be a very easy boat to drive.
You need to go get on some boats and compare them. You also need to think very hard about how you will actually use a boat. If you are not going offshore, don't bother with an offshore boat, for the money they are smaller, and the interiors are not as well suited to entertaining (although the inside of that swan looks very yachty to me, and would be a nice place for a glass of wine). If you are going offshore, think seriously about robust sailhandling equipment, strong construction, and offshore sleeping arrangements. A tired crew makes mistakes, and that's dangerous offshore. If it is going to be you, the wife, and 3 little girls, be sure the boat is small enough for you and the wife (preferably you or the wife) to handle easily.
Good luck!
That Swan is a darn good looking boat. I didn't think those boats would be accessible to the common man.
What's the difference between pilot and quarter berths?

Sailnet´s demise, this suggests...
You might want to contact the Seaward customer service department and explain the situation. I ordered a Seaward water heater last March and it arrived OK. I remember, either on the Sailnet web site or in the confirmation of my order that water heaters are shipped directly from the manufacturer, not from Sailnet. However, don''t know why they would "fire sale" them if they don''t stock them in-house.
If you''re in luck, maybe Sailnet has already sent the order and their payment to Seaward. Or maybe Seaward can make some sort of accomodation. As a supplier to Sailnet they must already be aware of the situation although they may be having their own billing problems with them.
Good luck,
Sailnet´s demise, this suggests...
Anybody know what my options are? I got lured by the sale too and purchased a Seaward water heater for a steal of a price....but problem is....I paid with a debit visa card. Purchase was on July 16 and they have not billed my account yet. I don''t know what the exact total is so there''s no way to stop payment. Any ideas very much appreciated.
Sailnet´s demise, this suggests...
Well, it was good to see some of this information in print. I''m afraid that I''m really in a jam on this. I ordered new sails for my Luders 33 from Air Force through SailNet. The main came through in June and the genoa was due to ship on July 6th. Guess what? No genoa. Sailnet billed my card on June 30th, the end of the billing period. I''ve since entered a dispute with my credit card company for the non receipt of merchandise and they will not charge interest on this amount. But, it will remain as an unpaid balance until the case is settled. This is really sad since Air Force builds nice sails. More sad is the fact that I have no genoa and now have to hassle about my payment.

Sailnet´s demise, this suggests...
Was glad to hear the Charleston paper responded to this issue. I sent them an email about what was going on a couple weeks ago. Got called back by an reporter who followed up on the lead. He had sent me an email copy of his article but I wasn''t aware that it actually made the front page of the business section.
I''m in the same condition regarding wrong items. I''ve got two incorrect halyards. I guess I''ll keep one (sta set instead of sta set X) which will work OK even though it wasn''t what I ordered.
Will wait to see how my credit card dispute works out. I may end up still having the other halyard which will not fit through my rope clutches. Eventually, will probably post on e-bay to offload it and let someone else benefit by getting a bargain and reimburse me a little for all the hassle.
I''d suggest doing the same with your refrigeration system. But give it a few months to play out before trying to sell.
Weird thing about this is I feel I''m on a ghost ship on these boards. Company''s gone but the boards drift on (at least for a while). Then they''ll blink out and be gone.

I found Cheryl Boyle´s ´statement´ to be interesting; thanks to TrueBlue for posting the URL. To me, it mixes some truths (it is indeed hard to mix retailing of product with offering objective product content), some self-serving claims of success (when the Boyles actions - such as buying JSI - proved to be failures), and a distressed claim that an anonymous rumor about them was unfair...but was not refuted.
I know others feel differently about this, but to me this statement has the same ring of angst and claimed unfairness that we have heard before, coupled with lots of promises and little assumed acknowledgement of responsibility for how events unfold. Perhaps when I helped run an international business, we just held ourselves to a higher standard but we would have felt shame at such communications.
I wish them well but am left wondering what they´ve learned from their Sailnet venture.
Sailnet´s demise, this suggests...
Will, assuming that - at this moment - you have successfully stopped payment from your credit card vendor, then I would present your question to them. Eventually, they will need to resolve your despute re: the charge and so it will be their opinion of your actions taken that will matter to you.
At the least, I would consider sending a registered-return receipt requested letter to Sailnet, explaining your dilemma and asking for directions on the return of their (incorrect) merchandise. Until they respond appropriately, I´d hold onto the merchandise.
IMO they deserve no consideration when shipping the wrong item and then not offering customer service to resolve such errors.
Sailnet´s demise, this suggests...
Thanks for the valuable information. This leaves me with a bit of a dilemma. I foolishly responded to last month''s 30% off sale, trying to purchase an Adler/Barbour Cold Machine (CU100) that billed out at ~$530 with discount. Received shipment in a timely manner, however they shipped a Waeco CU-84 that retails @ ~$525; more importantly it puts out about 1/3 the BTUs of the Cold Machine. I was able to stop the credit card charge and was planning to return ship the Waeco, requesting signed receipt. But if they are not there, I don''t know if the return shipment will get back to them. Any suggestions?

The article stated that no one had been around for a couple of months. The investors
listed did not return calls. The Boyles did
and the money had run out. Also that there
were complaints at the Better Business Bureau
regarding paid for purchases not being received. Also gave a rundown of Sailnet''s
history and how it was started! You can probably read it on line, it was on the front page of the business section.
Sailnet´s demise, this suggests...
Everyone on the sailjazz lists may have received an email today from Cheryl Boyle . . . for those who haven''t, here it is:
In response to the recent flood of emails, I''ve posted a statement to the web site addressing all the issues raised. If you''re interested you can read the statement at http://www.sailjazz.com/statement.php
We now return you to your regular list traffic.....
Fair Winds,

What exactly did the article say? Obviously the website is still here. The Boyles started Sailjazz a while ago.

Match Report
Friendly International Match
Emirates Stadium
Wednesday, March 26, 2008. 7.45pm
Pato 72
Alexander Pato marked his international debut with the only goal of the game as Brazil beat Sweden in the third international friendly to be held at Emirates Stadium.
The Milan striker - shackled by the Arsenal defence on his last visit to this ground - needed just 12 minutes to make an impact after replacing Luis Fabiano on the hour mark.
The 18-year-old capitalised on an error from former Arsenal goalkeeper Rami Shaaban to finally break down Sweden. Shaaban charged out of his area to clear the ball in the left-back position but fired the ball straight at Pato. The Brazilian turned and lofted into the net from a tight angle.
It was the highlight of an evenly-matched encounter which marked the 50th anniversary of the 1958 World Cup Final when two goals from the 17-year-old Pele helped Brazil beat Sweden 5-2.
A goalfest never looked on the cards this time as Brazil struggled without the invention of Ronaldinho and Kaka. Sweden looked brighter but Markus Rosenberg spurned their best opening.
Diego was off target for Brazil with a series of long-range efforts while Julio Baptista, who spent last season on loan at Emirates Stadium, went close with a 25-yard free-kick.
A stalemate seemed increasingly likely until Pato entered the fray. Then the Milan teenager showed just why he is regarded as one of Brazil's most exciting young talents.

Federal Employment Discrimination Laws
The Equal Pay Act; 29 U.S.C. §§ 206(d)
This law amends the Fair Labor Standards Act to require equal pay for equal work regardless of whether the worker is a man or a woman. The job functions and duties must be essentially the same. It does not prohibit pay differential based on seniority, merit or other business related criteria. Violations of the Equal Pay Act should be reported to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964; 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e et. seq.
This law says it is wrong for an employer to treat one employee different from another employee simply because of the persons color, sex, race, religion, or national origin. This law is enforced by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). The law does not make other reasons for discrimination unlawful. Therefore, an employer may be able to discriminate against you because of height, weight, education, criminal history, work history or a multitude of other reasons. The law only applies if the employer has more than 15 employees. It does not apply to federal workers or members of the military. Federal workers and military members are protected against discrimination because of color, sex, race, religion and national origin by a different law providing a different administrative remedy from the remedy provided by the EEOC.
The employer violates this law by treating one person different from another person because of color, sex, race, religion or national origin. This is called Disparate Treatment. The employee must show that the employer intentionally discriminated AND that color, sex, race, religion or national origin was the reason for the discrimination. Once sufficient evidence is put forth that the employer intentionally discriminated because of color, sex, race, religion or national origin, the employer must state a legitimate business reason for the difference in treatment. The employee must then produce evidence that the employer's reason is simply an excuse to discriminate.
Sometimes an employer will take an action that has an unintended adverse impact on a group of people. An example would be an employer who requires a college degree for a job that has little or no relationship to a college education. If this job qualification has the effect of discriminating against people because of their color, sex, race, religion or national origin, then the employer's action has an unlawful Disparate Impact upon people who are protected by the law.
If you think you have been the victim of discrimination by an employer, ask yourself these questions:
How has my employment been adversely affected? You should be able to identify what was done wrong to you. Were you wronged in hiring, firing, pay, promotion, demotion, work hours, job assignment, transfer, training or some other term or condition of employment.
Was the decision to affect my employment based upon color, sex, race, religion or national origin? Does the employer's decision affect people of the same color, sex, race, religion or national origin more harshly than people of a different color, sex, race, religion or national origin? What facts make you think the decision was based on color, sex, race, religion or national origin? Are there any witnesses? Are there any documents created by the employer that tend to show discrimination? How has this action by the employer harmed you? If you can answer these questions, you should immediately contact the EEOC and request that a charge of discrimination be filed.
As a general rule, a charge of employment discrimination must be filed with the EEOC within 180 days of the date that the employment discrimination happened. The EEOC maintains a staff of employees trained to put your allegations on a formal charge sheet. You must affirm that the allegations are true in order to complete the charging process. Alist of EEOC addresses in major Texas cities may be found at: http://www.eeoc.gov/teledir.html. Once the EEOC has investigated your claim, they will do one of three things. They can try to reach a compromise settlement between you and the employer. They can file suit against the employer for violation of the law. They can issue you a "Right to Sue" letter. If you receive a "Right to Sue" letter, you will have 90 days to file a lawsuit. If you do not file suit within 90 days, you will lose your claims under Title VII. You should not wait until you receive a "Right to Sue" letter before consulting with a lawyer knowledgeable in employment law. A lawyer should review your formal EEOC charge before a "Right to Sue" letter is issued by EEOC. If it has been more than 180 days since the employer discriminated against you, you may still have the right to file a formal discrimination charge. .
The state of Texas has created a state agency responsible for investigating employment discrimination. It is called the Texas Commission on Human Rights. This state agency has a working relationship with the EEOC. They are given 120 days to investigate allegations of employment discrimination. Therefore, if it has been more than 6 months since you feel you were discriminated against, you have an additional 120 days in which to complete the formal EEOC charge. This means that if the discrimination happened less than 300 days ago, you can still complete a formal EEOC charge.
The Age Discrimination in Employment Act; 29 U.S.C. §§ 621 et. seq.
This law was created by the U.S. Congress in 1967 to protect workers over the age of 40 from employment discrimination unless age is a bona fide occupational qualification (BFOQ). Age has been found to be a BFOQ as it relates to Airline Pilots. Age may also be relevant in other safety related jobs such as some police and fire fighter duties. Claims of age discrimination should be made to the EEOC. Any age discrimination claim must establish that the person over 40 was treated different from a younger worker. The younger worker need not be under age 40, they simply must be younger than the person discriminated against. An older worker who is asked to waive their rights under the ADEA has the right to seek consultation with a lawyer before agreeing to waive their rights. They also have the right to revoke the waiver within 7 days. The employer must give something of value that the employee is not otherwise entitled to for the waiver to be valid and enforceable.
The Americans With Disabilities Act; 42 U.S.C. §§ 12101 et. seq.
This federal law prohibits employment decisions that discriminate against qualified individuals with a disability. First, does your employer believe you have a disability? A disability is a mental or physical impairment that substantially affects a major life activity like, for example, walking, eating, seeing, hearing, breathing, sleeping. If your condition affects a major life activity, your second question is: am I qualified to perform the essential job functions. List the job duties. Can you perform them? If yes, this law provides you with some protection. If not, ask yourself a third question: could you perform them with some reasonable accommodation by the employer? What is a "reasonable accommodation" must be decided on a case by case basis. The law does not define "reasonable accommodation" Any accommodation that creates an "undue hardship" on the employer is not reasonable. Defining what is and is not an "undue hardship" requires a cost/benefit analysis. If a "reasonable accommodation" would allow a qualified person with a disability to perform the essential job functions, that person needs to work with the employer to define what that accommodation should be. The employer has the burden to show that no reasonable accommodation is available.
It is not a reasonable accommodation for the employer to create a job that does not already exist. It is not a reasonable accommodation to give preferential treatment in hiring or job assignment. Indefinite leave of absence is not a reasonable accommodation. Accommodations the increase the employer's health and safety risks are not reasonable.
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has primary responsibility for receiving and investigating a claim of disability discrimination. The administrative process is similar to claims made under Title VII. For more information visit the EEOC's website at: http://www.eeoc.gov.

The room, the food,evrything is ok. The dresscode for the dinner is very strange idea at 30 degrees when people take their vacantion. And the result is empty resturant.
just the place is good. The room is nice and comfortable the employees are extremely helpful and friendly. the breakfast for a 5 Star hotel was just poor. 300 Euro for a room and a buffet for a poor man. Sorry 3 star hotels in Eastern Europe are by far better. The restaurant within the Hotel complex requires also urgent improvement of their dishes. A beach hotel in the middle of the fish richest places in the world and an Hotel restaurant that supplies only Tuna Steak and Red Snapper fillet for 90 Euro upwards. This can only leave a guest with the impression that this is a fuck up. I ended up to go to other restaurants just because the choice of food is too limited and overpriced there. A warning for all the vegetarians sorry guys salads are restricted to cucumber, tomato and green salad leaves only
Location,comfort and service is excellent It is very expensive to eat at the hotel
Location (best beach on Mahe), service, helpful staff, a la carte restaurant (food is excellent, but expensive), nice walkway along the beach. Great stay overall. You have to walk away from the hotel for a better part of the beach if you want to swim with children. In front of the hotel is the coral part suitable for snorkling only. The bath tub and shower in Bougainvillea Creole Suite are right in the middle of the room, which is a bit confusing and not convenient for families with kids. Quite a long walk to the nearest cafes/restaurants if you`d like to eat somewhere out of the hotel. Small swimming pool.
Location, staff, envairoment it is quite expensive.
Perfect location, very friendly & helpful personnel, big comfortable suite (unexpected upgraded from Hibiscus room to Orchid Creole suite), lovely pool with umbrellas with free towels and water. One tip: absolutely wonderful hotel with most friendly and helpful people, but use the facilities (food & drinks) somewhere else. Facilities in the hotel are overpriced: Buffet: €135 total for 2 persons (incl. 1 beer and 1 coke). Laundry: €80 for 9 pieces of clothing, 1 hour massage: €86 The bathroom was very outdated with minimal comfort (shower was way too low for my boyfriend and couldn't be adjusted). €35 was silently added to our bill because we accidently lost 1 very worn flipper that we borrowed from the hotel).
at trip advisor pepople dont say good about this hotel, it´s not true very good hotel. i booked the chepeast room and it´s enough. food not special i eat much better at the orangerie at la digue

Thanks,glad you like it.
The "square" look to the design is actually intentional...as though it were a page from a storybook...

Very cute design while still being a lil geeky. I'd so wear this design! :D

Re: Cheshire Dressing Room
Whoever you are, oh generous benefactor, thank you, so much, for that one vote that just appeared.
I'm such a noobie that it's too soon to call me that. However, I made a commitment to myself that I would start taking some risks and put myself out there. Of course, Woot! Is a bit of "strong criticism" environment. (understatement). Talk about jumping into the deep end!!
This is the first derby that I have ever entered (first tee contest ever), and I put in two -- the other has no comment, but about 30+ votes, not exactly stellar, but a good first showing. This one, on the other hand is dying on the vine.
[It was definitely premature for me to enter this, or any contest, but Woot! had to go and pick cats, and our home is a cat rescue with many, many models walking around, telling me that I had all the raw materials. So, just do it!]
Anyway, I have been lurking here, watching, and praying that I get one more vote (in addition to my own), to save myself from epic fail. Thanks.
I guess I'll have to "up my game" from a combination of scanned drawings, a WebOS HP TouchPad drawing app, and Microsoft Paint. :-) Maybe lurk some more and learn from all the artists routinely putting out fabulous art.
Or, perhaps, find a different way to try and recreate myself. Anyone know a good basketweaving listserv?

I'm sorry you don't like this design. Maybe I will submit a design you will like more in the next derby.
Ps. Your Dumbledore design in the Things That Start With A derby is one of my favorites since I started here at Woot. I wish it would have printed.
Best Rejected Shirt I have EVER seen!!!
This needs to be made, somewhere... I know Cat Ladies who I would LOVE to give this too.
Recommend another version shirt for the older crowd, where the cats are lower down too ;)
Re: Predators
Haha! I love it!! I'd totally rock this shirt for I loves Kitteh's AND Predator!
Memes come and go, but their legacy lasts forever.
Well done!
Re: Drizzt and Guen
WIN WIN WIN... on SO many levels.
Re: We Do It For The Lulz
Okay, very cool, and well done design.
I like your idea, but you do need some better tools.
If you have a tablet or a very steady mouse hand, you can do wonders with the free program GIMP. If precision is more your thing, go with Inkscape, also free. In reality, you will benefit from both, since GIMP can read/write files in the Photoshop format and is better suited for submitting shirt comps/thumbs.
Good luck, and GMV for tenacity.
Re: Scribble Cats
Can we get a detail shot?
Re: Lucky at last
Thank you for making a "cute" shirt for this derby! I was excited when I saw the derby theme, thinking that there would have to be tons of cute kitty shirts and people wouldn't be able to complain about it. I was wrong. This derby is seriously lacking in cuteness.
Re: Movie Night
I love this design. I'm definitely the kitty with the scarf. ;)
Re: Puss in Boot
If this prints I may finally get my daughter in a woot shirt. Actually, practically any of the top 20 entries would probably do it, but this is one of my favorites.
Re: Breading Champion
The artwork is adorable, but I can't vote for it because I don't like meme shirts. Or memes in general for that matter.
treebirdoctopus wrote:They do! People can't go a week without a Ramy print! So why not cater the derbies specifically to him. Makes sense.
Many of the regular artists are known for cute designs and/or a love of cats. Bassanimation, DianaSprinkle, Ochopika, Walmazan, Lucky1988, firefrough... the list goes on.
Black cats get a bum rap, this shirt is awesome.
Re: COPYCAT
This is incredibly disappointing. While this concept has indeed been done before, I agree with everyone that it was certainly a different execution. However, what may have not been entered in the calculations is new woot-ers (like myself) and those who do not follow other t-shirt sites (also like myself) who were itching to buy this design if it printed because they could not buy any of the previous "similar" shirts. Now, with no chance of it being printed, you have certainly lost my dollars.
Re: Rarely Friendly V2
GMV v2 ;)
hope it prints!
While I do love the design, I have to admit it is starting to look like chest hair(!) Maybe live, it won't . . .
Re: Clockwork Orange Kitty v2
people who haven't voted for this yet will receive their free re-education treatment shortly.
Re: CAT FORCE ONE
I really like this one. I could even get my guys to wear kitties with this!
i'm sad this shirt got rejected. it's the only one in the fog i voted for (and i voted for many shirts this derby). i was looking forward to buying it.
i don't care for the reportedly similar designs. i think it's silly to reject this design due to a superficial similarity to inferior ones.

Re: Anti-Gravity
i would really like this shirt, if the toast was strapped to the cat's stomach. cats always land on their feet, so this cat could just land the way it is. but the drawing itself is great. i love the expression on the cat.
Absolutely love this one!
I still only see headphones, and I've been staring for three days trying to figure it out, as well as Googling for other meanings of boot. Clue in the clueless?
Re: Hayao Meowazaki
A cute and cuddly tribute to an outstanding artist. This is my first piece submitted to Woot, I am a sketch artist, which is the way I approach this piece. When looking at a photo of Mr. Hayao Miyazaki an image of a cute kitten on a sootball came to mind. First I sketched it on to paper, than later pulling the image on to photo shop; however, green behind the ears I feel I developed a fairly accurate take on him as some thing that even more cutie. I am a fairly new graphic artist so any comments or opinions are truly appreciated.

Sorry the boot is confusing for some. They're really odd looking apparatuses. I googled a lot of them and they come in many different looks. I think, though, that I made a mistake on the front of the one here. I had drawn into the sketch some of the front pieces, but I decided to leave them off for fear it would be even more confusing. ^^;
Here's the picture I used for reference.
As you can see here, there's some black pegs in the front and some smaller yellow bits underneath the bar. I had initially drawn them, but I wasnt sure if it helped or distracted, so I left them off. :\ Sorry if I missed the mark for some. I will revisit the image if it doesnt print and try to make the boot more 'booty'. Truthfully, I would have loved to be able to put the title underneath him. ^_^
Also, for fun, you can google 'tire boot' to see all the different types of boots there are. I had a hard time picking one that would look the best @_@;.
. .
As disappointed as I am about this rejection, my guess is woot it trying to not "play favorites" by not rejecting a SSE from a favorite artist. There's still hope for an HM... it would not be the first time a rejected shirt got one.

The face on the kitten is so awesome. I'd buy it just for that.

Great advice, and thank you for the "Tenacious j5" vote. I may just have to draw myself a special trophy for that! --with my new GIMP program... Free is great. It will probably complement my OpenOffice nicely.
I'm actually lucky that I didn't create something on my first go-around that wowed the shirt.woot swarm. (not that I really harbored that fantasy, but I was hoping for a few "attagirls" or a few votes) After I read tgentry's designer advice last night, I realized that I do not have the capacity for layers--if my design had magically ended up in the top three, I would not have been capable of supplying Proofs the way Woot! needs them.
I thought I might have to table my creative license until I had the funds for the illustration software and/or hardware (alt read, never), but you have offered me a bread crumb, and I will see which way out of the forest this trail might lead.
Thanks, again, I was a little discouraged, but you've reminded me that I am also tenacious! Whine for a minute ... Okay ... Let's go get 'em!
Maybe you should self publish it. I would certainly buy one.

Thank you, Moonletters, I admire the Sumi-e style, with its economy of brush strokes, and I was emulating that when I drew this.
I was afraid it might be too simple for t-shirt design, but I figured it was worth entering -- if nothing more, to break the ice for me, since this is my first ever art entry into anything.
And you, gentle reader, were my first comment!
Thank you.

Bataleon's Warranty Program: Long Review - Long Experience
Let me start off by saying I have never had a bad experience with Bataleon snowboards or customer service until recently. Furthermore, I've been nothing but RAVING about them since I got my first Evil Twin back in 2008.
(Also I apologize for the rant-style of this review)
I've been a childrens' snowboard instructor/freestyle coach for the past 4 years and received a proform for the past 2 seasons. Last season I ordered an Artist Edition Evil Twin and rode it only on powder days and cruising days when I didn't have lessons (as I didn't want this board to get as beat up as my Fun.Kink). Fast forward to the beginning of this season during Christmas break I took a weird fall and discovered I broke the skinny aluminum base on my Ride Alphas (not surprised as they seemed weak and had 2+ seasons on them). So as I go back into the locker room to throw my backup bindings on the board I notice on the heelside edge of the board there was a 3 inch section that was delaminating from the topsheet AND base. Also towards the tail there was a crack in the topsheet and apparently it warped the board as I felt a slight bubble on the base. Thanks Santa!
So December 25th I email Bataleon with the same story and about 8 pictures of the board showing it was clearly not from impact and should hopefully be under warranty. A week passes with no reply. I think "no biggie, its Christmas I'm sure everyone was on vacation".
An additional week and a half passes (January 10th) and still no reply, so I decided to call. I spoke to the guy I've usually talked to and simply told him that my board has a double delamination and a topsheet crack thats effecting the base and if its covered under warranty. He said, "I'm looking at your email now, the photos aren't coming through". So i sent him another set of photos right after the phone conversation and he replied the same night to send the board back and we'll get it replaced.
After a week I say my goodbyes to my beautiful Love and War Evil Twin and send her out (January 17th).
Two weeks pass and I've heard nothing. So I send an email out on Sunday, February 3, asking if theres any status on the warrantied board, have they received mine, have they sent a new one out? I call later that night with no answer. I call the day after with no answer. I call the Tuesday after with no answer. I call the Wednesday after with again, no answer. I then realize, "Hey! I have a tracking address from when I sent my board out!" I check that and I'm in shock; the board attempted to ship to their main office 5 times without anyone there to accept the package. At this point I'm scared because I don't want to 1: Lose my board in the mail or 2: Have to wait for the board to ship back to the east coast and do this all over again.
Finally, I get an email back the next morning (February 7th), they apologized and said they've been away at the X-Games and tradeshows. I'm relieved at this point because they aren't completely ignoring me, and as a die-hard snowboarder, I too would drop everything and focus on the X-Games. In that same email they said they should receive the board and get it replaced that day. Woooo, I replied apologizing for seeming anxious and I asked if they could send me a heads up or tracking number when they send the board out.
February 22: Okay, ANOTHER 2 weeks pass and nothing, no email, no board in the mail (gave it two weeks because the cheapest post can take 7-14 days to ship coast to coast, mind you they never replied to my last email). So this time I skip the email as it seems the best way to get a direct response is by calling. Talked to the same guy and asked about the status of the board and if they have a tracking number so I could see where it is. He tells me to hold on *insert audible clicking of a computer mouse and typing here*, "You had the Evil Twin Artist Edition right? Yea we dont have any more of those." to myself I'm thinking of course not, I never assumed you did thats why I was so sad to lay my board to rest a month ago. I asked if they sent one out, "We have not, I'm going to go downstairs and see if we have anything in your size". At this point I'm kind of furious because for two weeks---actually--TWO MONTHS I've been sitting around, teaching on a shitty Burton rental thinking a board was incoming.
At lack of anything nice to say I say "Okay, yea thatd be great. But can you PLEASE send me a tracking address when you send this board out. Thanks goodbye."
March 1st, 66 days after putting my old Evil Twin down to rest, I got this years Evil Twin in the mail. I now question if I'll ever go back to Bataleon after this horrendous experience with customer service. If I should take back all the great things I've said to all my students and other instructors I work with. An instructor I work with had an edge blow out on his DC, the guys there said "Hey make it into an awesome bench!" a week later he has a new board. I really question my loyalty with Bataleon after this and feel like anyone; instructor or average Joe, deserves a lot more respect.
<tr;dr> After being loyal to Bataleon for 5 years, I think this experience has dramatically changed how I view their company.
I'm pretty sure on every proform it states quite clearly that you are forbidden to discuss it to shops and the general public. You my friend are airing your dirty laundry with a company who have helped you out numerous times on a public internet forum.
Just for that, you deserve everything you get, I only wish people like you could be banned from pro-form use because they give the people that appreciate it a bad name.
You got hooked up, guess what, you are bottom of the totem pole when it comes to warranty claims - your lucky that board even has a warranty.
You don't want to be bottom of the pole? pay full price like everybody else.
I don't think the fact that he used a pro form should matter. When I worked at a ski shop when I was younger I always used proforms. To me working for crappy pay was worth the discounted lift tickets and pro forms. I had an issue with a board that was damaged in the mail from a pro form order. The company sent me out another board right away. No matter how you get a board if the customer service is bad then your most likely not going to want to rep company.
Snowboard companies look at proforms almost as a way to get the shop workers on there boards and then(if they like the board) sell it to the public.
I know what a proform is son - and i'm not talking about a shop form, or a board damaged in the mail. This is a used snowboard sent in for a warranty claim after a fall big enough to break aluminium bindings. Like I said, bottom of the pile after the full price paying customers.
That fall i took didnt cause the damage to the board (i knuckled on a 25-30ft jump if you must know) it just happened to lead me into inspecting my board closely and noticing the defects.
The fact is i felt ignored and disrespected. Especially since they never contacted me back, EACH time i had to be the one to email/call them after plenty time has passed.
Bullshit. What kind of backwards ass thinking is this?
If I have a board, regardless of how much I paid or who I got it from, and it breaks due to a manufacture defect, I should be entitled to a new board.
And I know what a proform is too...son.
bataleons used to be built like a tank...were talking quadrax laminates, top and bottom, and carbon, even on all their park boards. They used to be exceptional, now they're just standard (although TBT is still good).
In 2013, even their top of the line only have triax laminates and 2014 will drop their two top end boards, entirely (enemy and undisputed).
I guess CS has taken a drop, as well. Back in 2008, when I emailed them about info on a Riot, they got back to me within the same day. Not saying bataleon is now bad, but they're definitely not what they used to be.
I just got a 2013 Airobic...the build quality looks absolutely flawless up close (haven't ridden it), but I hope it doesn't turn out to be a POS.

oh ok. well then I understand being on the bottom of the totem pole. but once they initiated contact, your entire ordeal shoulda been handled within 10 days. or should have been told we won't have any of that model for 2 months want anything different...but once a claim is started to be handled the way it was is ridiculous.
so if they really were "all at x-games", WHO THE FUCK WAS RUNNING THE COMPANY?

Real Salt Lake was minutes away from escaping Canada with three points.
But when Nat Borchers slipped in his own penalty box, causing his arm to hit a loose ball, the chance at RSL's first-ever win in the Great White North evaporated.
The referee awarded a penalty kick for the handball, and the Vancouver Whitecaps equalized. The call, however, could have easily gone the other way.
"There's definitely going to be a difference of opinion among the referees," Borchers said Wednesday of the call. "Every ref is going to have a different way of calling that. Unfortunately, the call went against us."
Borchers was not the only player who had trouble with footing on the BC Place turf.
"I thought there was definitely some difficulty keeping your feet with the way it was watered, but as players we want it to be fast, we want it to be like that," he said. "As long as it's watered on both sides, we're good."
But in the end, the veteran defender took responsibility for the fall.
"At the end of the day, as a center back, you just can't slip," Borchers said. "So that one's on me, and you just have to move forward."
Hands up
Speaking of handballs, RSL midfielder Sebastian Velasquez is recovering from one of his own.
Salt Lake players were in the middle of a shooting drill last week when Velasquez went to pick up a couple of balls near the net. He heard his teammates shout his name, turned and put his hands up to stop a ball that was sailing at him. It broke a bone in his right hand.
Velasquez underwent surgery and, after missing Saturday's game, was training Wednesday.
"It's just tough to take an injury period," he said. "You get a couple of minutes to play, and all of a sudden you get a funny injury. ... It's kind of tough. Luckily, it was on my hand and not my foot. So, good thing you play football with your feet."
Velasquez said he felt no pain Wednesday. It would be up to Major League Soccer and the referee whether Velasquez would be allowed to play Saturday, coach Jason Kreis said.
Battered Beckerman
Captain Kyle Beckerman's rib injury kept him out of training Wednesday.
"It's really a huge pain issue he's dealing with," the coach said. "We don't think he'll train [Thursday]. We're hopeful that he trains Friday and is available for Saturday."

text: Hi all. I just found this site the other day while doing a little research on SD duck hunting. I used to live in Pierre but never got out to the NE part of the state to do any duck hunting - it was pretty decent over where I was. Anyway, I got drawn for a waterfowl license and am looking into places to stay. Would anyone have any info on a house to rent in the NE corner of SD during the last week of October? We have 5 guys and 2 labs. Thanks - its always great to get back to SD.
