Default The Irony of the Doug -The Return!

40 minutes? Go back several years and see what I have said
about wing keels in other discussions.


Golly! So are you the 1st person to understand keels or just the only
one living? Doug, what's so funny is that YOU are the true blowhard
around here. When I asked you how many 1st Series boats you had sailed,
the answer was MORE THAN YOU!!! Golly, Doug. Everyone sure is
impressed. After that it was "I EVEN SKIPPERED A COUPLE." WOW! And now
you're the king of keels! All hail....Douglas King Of Keels!
(C'mon, that was funny, Doug!)

Is it? Why use a wing then, when an end plate would be much

simpler and create less drag?

And wing is create more draft to windward or more "bite" as some say.
DDW it's a drag. Period. Efforts to ease the end plate effect have
resulted in partial bulbs at the base of the wing and wider leading
edges at the base to spread water flow. Basic stuff. But then you knew
all that back in 1792, right?


Really?

Then why did you use the wrong terms?

Seriously? This is what's left of you? Using terms as a point of debate
after you failed to win any points? Sad, Doug.


Not on normal sailboats they don't. At least, not in the
real world... maybe in the Matrix it's different.

So then it's not possible? Then say so clearly!

explain to us all again about you "win" anybody answers one
of your posts.

Doug, you're all in a snit because I actually had more than a clue
about my keel and how it works. You're also ****ed off because I go
sailing on my own boat and my wife would never EVER want a trawler. I'm
sorry for you on those counts, but unless you have SOME point to make,
just go have your fuel polished and leave us to do the sailing.

Ummmm...oh yeah, BWAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
