one (very expensive) Radar and one (top 'o the line) EPIRB,
so he obviously
isn't thinking of going more than 2 miles from anywhere.

Oyster Bay is nowhere near as far as Norwalk.

Are you sure...better check before you look dopey. I'm betting the difference
is around 4-6 miles IF THAT!

That's a crock with sturdy Dacron cruising sails unless it's done for
extended periods in high winds. The sail against the spreader and stay does
not cause accelerated abrasion at low wind speeds. I have done this with my
main and have seen it done on many vessels... I have yet to see significant
wear show on my sail in that area.

I'm not saying it won't cause abrasion... just that in light airs when it's
usually employed.. the effect is negligible. In winds strong enough to cause
the material to rub with force you would not elect to have the main so far
over.

You sound like a sailing instructer which is one level above a dockside
sailor. You are not on the vessel at the time and you have no clue as to
what the vessel demands in trim or set to achieve it's sweet spot. In short
you are talking through your hat.

Well, we the wear marks on several of our mains. While it's
true that this wouldn't happen if it was only done occasionally
in light air, the problem seems to be habit. It's a bad habit, and
it's not necessary.

And I said 4-6 miles difference...Pretty darn close Bill!!! Norwalk is about
another hour and a half away.
Sorry!!!

Bwaahahahahahaha!

RB

Good Gawd..... both of those locations are equivalent to a day sail. You
folks are discussing 3 hr passages here.

My Sunday training sail was 22 nautical miles on the log and we slowed for a
BBQ and stopped for an hour to fish. We were only out for 5 hours from hoist
to set.
