really? why is that, yo-yo? the center of gravity is not where the boat
turns, pivots or rotates. but you didn't know that, did you.
Hummm... let me see... you call me a name...... then show your
ignorance.....
You think the bow is as comfortable as the stern. You know I am talking
about a sailboat underway heading into seas, right? Not at anchor. Here is a
little test for you "GrassHopper" so you may become enlightened.......
Get on your sailboat and beat into the wind. Trim your sails and make her go
as fast as she will. Do this in some pretty good waves or chop. Now, stand
up in the cockpit without holding on. It is possible. Next, go stand on the
bow and stand up, without holding on. (Important Not: have someone video
this). Here is what you will learn. When the bow rises rapidly up the wave,
up you will go. Then as the wave reaches the stern, the stern will rise
causing the bow to drop faster than you. You may say something like "Look
Mommy, I am flying." Next will come little GrassHoppers surprise. The next
wave will stop the downward motion of the bow, as the bow cuts deep into the
wave. The bow being deep in the wave will force it up at a rapid rate of
speed. And, yes, you guessed it. You will meet the fast rising deck on your
way down. You can sleep in the bow while sailing into seas, but not me. I
hope you understand, why it is more comfortable in the stern GrassHopper,
but I doubt it. You will probably continue to argue your point, or just not
respond. E.O.D.
