Sounds like our sail on Sunday, steady 15+, wife sleeping

My wife sails. Scotty, I truly feel badly for you. Truly.

I too had a hard time docking, don't know why, took 3 passes to back in
right.

Good lord.


RB

The Sad liar indeed!

Didn't think so.

RB,

If you were backing with the Martec Folding Prop, that was about 90% of
your problem.

It take a lot of getting use to, to back with the folder. I find that if
you figure sterrn walk You can pop the Blades open with a fairly high
RPM then throttle way down (Even neutral). You should be able to recover
your direction of sternway. If you don't think you have enough sternway,
Steer off course enough to allow for stren walk and pop the RPM to get
an open prop and then throttle back again and steer in.

Try anchoring a plastic bottle with fishing line and practize backing
into that, in a straight line g

Good Luck,
Ole Thom

Thom, Scotty is the fellow who can't operate his boat. I've had zero problems
with the martec, though it offers far less thrust than a fixed. I've
experienced minimal prop walk thus far. Yesterday I has to deal with wind at
the slip and no problems. I think the prop walk was much worse on the Pearson
30.

I've put 2 hours on my engine since I launched. How many hours on your
engine hour meter?

The meter is not installed yet. But I can't imagine we've run the engine much
more than 30-40 minutes total. The longest we ran the motor is from the other
side of hart island on a dead day. It's been run in the slip more than an hour
though.

Mine it was 2 hours total so far including charging the batteries. I sleep
aboard every night.

We might have used it a bit more, even just leaving the slip, but this past
weekend was the first rain-free treat in more than 6 weeks. We've still sailed
more in the rain than without!

All the ways to screw up a good diesel. You'll be rebuilding in a couple of
years. Once again .......... You know nothing about boats.

Hmmmm....the diesel mechanics seem to disagree with you...

Bwahahahhahaha!

RB

The Sad liar
 

Running a diesel engine
that is essentially idling and not under load is supposed to be the
worst thing for an engine.

Who said it's not run under load. The engine is run in-gear in the slip.

What do you mean prop walk was worse? Prop walk is one of the best
tools you

Good lord. Buy yourself a bow thruster, dummy!

Well, he had a really, really crappy boat... or he is a crappy sailor.

Yeah, but unlike Scotty and Scout I don't have problems steering my boat into a
slip!

Bwahahahahaha! It took 3 tries!

that's what boob**** calls 'sailing'.

You can run em for days in a slip as long as they're in gear.
Bubbles has just set another bait and the fishing is fine.

Yup. Use the snubbers and you can run in the slip, no big deal. Everyone does
it. No harm done. 15/15 FR.
That's 15 minutes in forward/15 minutes in reverse.

Sure will. He was a lot funnier than you, and he single handed a Bermuda 40

How does a Cal 29 compare to Alien? Have you told your neighbour that you
think that your boat is better than his?

The Cal 29 is a great boat. After checking out my C&C he wants to buy one,
though he has three kids, so a bigger version was suggested.
