Agree, the poster did not market this as a classic boat which deserves saving, it was advertised as Goering's boat. I think that is why people may have trouble with it. There are many classic boats out there that could and should be saved, it appears we are being asked to save this because it belongs to one of the architects of the third reich

"I deliberately added the "Goering" bit to get people to read the thread. If you'd bothered to follow the link you would have seen my position on all things Nazi."

"Au contraire...I couldn't give a rat's a... who owned it in the past. I think she's truly a classic. You know what it would cost to build something like this today? 90 foot of Burmese Teak over oak? "

Hi I did read the post and had and still have no doubt your have no sympathies for nazi's. What I said and will stand by is that it was advertised as Goering's boat. You say you added the Goering bit to get people to read the thread but are not interested at all in the fact it was owned by Goering. This does not seem to add up and in addition you have gone to some length on the link to fully explain all the links with nazi's past and present. I like history and enjoy reading about it just not sure this feels right. Simialrly would not be interested in buying Fred West'S boat (if he had one) where the seller went to length to describe the various links Fred West had with it (or any other serial killers for that matter)
The boat is probably worth saving, the nazi connection just does not turn me on.

You are obviously a good guy with his heart in the right place, it was just that this form of promoting the project did not do it for me - best wishes
