No lies, booby. Here's several places where Neal claims he is unable to reduce speed.
Note that he has insisted that this applies to any sailboat, including those going at hull
speed or higher. It sure looks to me like Neal doesn't know how to handle a sailboat.
Further, while he talks about "safe speed" which is always required, he ignores rule 19e
which requires him to "reduce speed to minimum" - that is minimum steerageway. He is
claiming this is impossible.


"A sailboat navigating in a fog cannot, like a motorboat, choose
her speed. A sailboat is at the mercy of wind direction and wind
speed which is most often low or non-existent in a fog. Any rule
that requires a sailboat do take an action she cannot take is not
a rule intended to apply to the sailboat."

" ... sailboats already proceeding at slow
and safe speeds somehow being required to go even slower
to the point where they cannot maneuver with any kind of
efficiency. You even want sailboats to stop when I have
demonstrated this is often not even possible. "

"I already told you about a billion times that a sailboat
already is operating at a safe speed. Reducing speed
to a safe speed when one is already operating at a safe
speed is not possible."

"How do you expect
a sailboat to stop her foward progress? Does your
sailboat have brakes or something? "

Neal insists he is not competent enough to sail his boat at any reduced
speed.

Another lie. Neal never indicated anything of the sort.
