Default Heart of Gold Sails on...and on....

Are you claiming the sails are trimmed properly?


Actually, they are trimmed ultra perfectly, but I've altered course so
I can stand easily and hold my camera for the movies and vids.


The sails are over-trimmed and the boat is moving sideways. Are
you
claiming that what they wanted to do?

I'm claiming nothing. You're the only one here silly enough to judge
sail trim for a course you can't see on a boat you're not on making a
course you don't know about!!! And you look dang foolish for it.


I think that thing is called a tiller, not a wheel.


Wow. Jeff you are really OLD. I'm at the WHEEL. Our 35s5 has a WHEEL.
The 30/30 has a tiller. Jeff, time for you meds.



Oh, I get it!

I'm afraid you don't. Again.


They're showing how well the boat "points."


I think folks on both boats are just having a fun time, Jeff.

Here's a
hint: making 30 degrees leeway doesn't really show off the boat at
its
best.


Hmmm. Our turning mark is 15 degrees off our starboard bow and we made
it without a problem. Of course you can't even see it, nor do you have
a clue about actual course, steady wind direction or much else in the
pics and vids. But it's fun watching you try to make up things to suit
your imaginary points! Good work!


That will be in a few days, but I've been out for about 50 days in
the
last 8 weeks.


I've sailed about 30 days in that time, aboard 5-6 different boats.
And I didn't have to wait until I was 70 or 80 years old to do it. I'm
44, Jeff.
There isn't enough time in your life to catch me, let alone have as
much fun as we are right now. My golden years are NOW and only getting
better. If I end up like you I'll just buy a motor home!

Hoooh ahhhh!
