More like 10 miles. Don't tell him that, though, or he'll have nightmares that it's coming to get him! I was convinced that the Atlantic was at least 90 miles away. If it is only 10 miles, then he can go out to sea next weekend. I'm really lookong forward to the photos. Way to go, Bobby! Regards Donal -- |

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.

It is easy to tell the real sailors from the wannabes.
If there is one, consistent problem that can be observed from watching the sailing techniques of a cross sectrion of sailors is that approximately 80% of them always have their sails sheeted in too much for the point of sail they are on. Sailors who free their sails are doing it right. A little chafe on the lowers or the spreaders is what baggywrinkle is for if it bothers people so much they should add it to their boats instead of sheeting in too much for the conditions. Installing several telltales of a bit of yarn on the sails is the only way to really get a handle on proper sail trim. No telltales = no sailor. "Capt. Mooron" wrote in message ...

Your Shakespeare rubber ducky is no antenna for what you use it for. Get it checked! And STILL you're wrong. Charles Marine chargers are available at 50 amps for 5000 series, which are excellent comercial duty systems. 50 amp is also available for the 2000 series of course. And you STILL show your ignorance on the antenna which is sold as an emergency back of set whip...not a rubber ducky. I also have a larger emergecy antenna that can clip to a rail. You just can't seem to help fouling yourself! But keep trying and I'll keep passing you the Depends!!! Bwahhahahahaha! RB |

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. "Capt. Mooron" wrote in message ...

The "town dock" is actually called "Norwalk Visitors Dock" or
something along those lines. It's way up the river and not in what I would call a "good " neighborhood to be in at night. If you are looking for a cheap whore or some crack, it's probably just the place. During the day, it's okay to tie up there for a while to have lunch, use the free pumpout, or whatever for a few hours. 25 cents a foot. It's at the "end" and is the best entrance to the restaurants and town in general. The only problem is the rush of fishing boats that start out at 5:00 am or so. It's not 25 cents a food...not even close. It's a dollar a foot and you can only stay on the dock at the beginning and end of the season. You'll never get a spot in the summer-too much traffic. In the spring and early september you can usually pull up and tie up for free. Thanks for proving that you know not of what you speak. When were you last in Norwalk? 1960? Ever? RB |
