| 1258.1 | A happy ending? | TOOK::CURRIER | | Thu Jun 22 1989 18:32 | 4 |
| O yes, I got a hole by hole description of that disaster. Is the BAD
COMPANY being replaced? Did their insurance co. also suggest that
boats really shouldn't be in the water that late in the season?

| re .1:
Most insurance policies specify the date by when the boat must be out of
the water. Was the boat even covered?

| Good heavens, What Happened?
Will the cushions fit into a Pearson Coaster 30 foot?

| re: .1 The HMS BAD COMPANY required a crane to be pulled from the
+ .2 water and was trucked to a local (Newburyport) boat yard
where it was stripped of topside hardware, boom, mast, + keel.
The rest of the boat was placed in an industrial-sized
dumpster.
Insurance covered everything. In fact, given the depressed
market, he made out better than if he were to try to sell the
boat. He beat the haul-out clause by one week. My boat
suffered significant damage two weeks prior to his (at the
same location). We both are insured by the same agency (Twig
Burke) and I have had very good service as well. *This is
not a paid endorsement.*
Right now he is "kicking tires" and looking at options. One
of the areas of interest is downsizing to a J24 or 22 and
going the one design route. (We'll miss the Corinthian 200,
though.)
re:.3 I do not know if the cushions would fit anything other than a
J36.

| 1258.5 | J/36 a dying breed ... | BOOKS::BAILEYB | playing to the tide | Fri Jun 23 1989 18:43 | 10 |
| Very sorry to hear about the demise of BAD COMPANY. The J/36 is a
dying breed. Last season there were five of us out there. Now CELESTE
is in Michigan, BAD COMPANY is in the dumpster, and I haven't seen
UNION since it was sold. We're wondering if there are going to be
enough of them to make a fleet for the NOOD regatta. Another J/36 that
was down there last year sank in one of those late season storms.

| Hi . I'm just curios as to what storm Bad Company went down in?
I had my boat "Rainbow Chaser" in Newburyport at the Boat Works
last year and tried to get my lobster traps out the day after the
early Oct blow. The one where the Hinkley went up on Plum by the
old C.G. Station.
Was that the same storm?
