Cripes Ozzy.... you're talking like Simon's boat is a real vessel.....
capable of ventures beyond the salt flats it's currently moored on.

Get a Grip Man..... it's only 26 feet of day sailing glory... you should
really try and be more proactive and supportive.... considering how much
money you claim to have.

When the self proclaimed Uber Rich are reduced to picking on somebody with a
meager Coronado... it speaks volumes about their own insecurity ...

The fact you boast about a Greek Fisherman's Cap as the height of fashion...
allows the rest of us to judge your opinions on any subject with the lack of
merit they deserve.

depending

part

|
| Bwaaaaahahahhahahhahahahahaaaaa!
| Cappy you're killing me!!
| Bwaaahahahahhahahahaaaa!
|
| Now for the first lesson.
| What is the similarity between the sliding gooseneck, cunningham and
| the downhaul on a headsail?
| What is the similarity between the vang and the luff tension and car
| position on a headsail?
|
| Wh do we vary luff sag on a headsail?
|
| Think carefully, you shattered reputation depends upon the answers.
|
| Now, if one were using a club-footed jib it could be adjusted a little
| more like the mainsail so my question of what the stripe is for on
| the jib was answered I believe by snotty replies like to look at and
| to be a gimmick. It seems to me to be pretty useless.
|
| Cappy the stripe serves exactly the same purpose on both headsail and
| main. I've also seen then on spinnakers, moreso with assymetrics.
|
| S.Simon - maybe the real function of s draft stripe on the jib is only
| to match the one on the main?
| Bwaaahahahhahaaa! Maybe you should have aasked for a purple one to
| match the cushions?

draft.

| Jesus Cappy, a few hours ago you didn't know what the stripe was for,
| now you're an expert on reading them.
|
| For out information just how deep should the sail be in light air with

| should that max draft be.
|
| Theoretically of course.
