Just a few photos from my trip to bring Overproof back to Shag Bay from
Prospect where I was doing some diving for my friend who owns the marina
there. I believe someone asked about "lee shores"... I put in a photo to
display what the coastline looks like. Nice shots of the entry into Shag Bay
and the Gull Rocks. A nice shot of my "dinghy".. an 18 foot single hand
Dory. I saw what I believe to be a competitor in the Marblehead Race...
taking some R&R at the hook in Prospect. I even included one for MC of my
display on the log.... ;-D

Nice pics. Good on you for using real, hank-on sails.

Good Photoshop job on the speedometer, too.

Hank ons are the mark of a Pro...... or someone too poor to afford R/F....
;-D

After years of hank ons and lack of self tailers... I'm getting to a point
of considering running my current forestay to the tip of the bowsprit and
adding a removable inner stay. I thought about R/F on the forestay and hank
on self tending on the inner. I have just a tiny bit of weather helm and I
think I could make the changes without increasing it too much. I'm also
considering going to larger size self tailing winches....

| Good Photoshop job on the speedometer, too.

No alterations Cappy..... I was on a broad reach. The WX channel stated 10
to 15 kts. The sea state sort of confirms it. I was trying to get the
display when it showed 8.2 kts.... damn that delay on the digital camera. I
was averaging about the speed shown for most of the sail. I didn't get much
past 5.5 knots on the reach out of Prospect. I was flying my 150 and full
main... with the prop locked and towing a 500 lb Dory.

Pah!! I'm astonished that anybody would be brave enough to post such a
poor performance on the Internet.

I could drop my anchor in the Alderny race and record higher figures on my
log!

Maybe I will have to take a camera next time I go sailing.

Yes Donal, in retrospect I could've alluded to higher speeds and made
repeated outrageous claims.... but that course is sailed by too many here
already.

Oh.. I'm certain! 12 knots at least.

Thanks John..... it's a great place to sail around here. I've got the best
of both worlds to play in.... open ocean or deep bays and harbours with
Islands and lots of quiet anchorages. It's great to spend some time on the
ocean and sail back to a scenic harbour to have dinner at one of the many
seaside restaurants.

Well YEAH.... I took a wild guess with a chance of probability about as
remote as your boat achieving 8.5 knots up wind.

Even so.... it's nowhere near the speeds reported by Bob on that C&C 32
rocket cruiser. You wouldn't stand a chance against him in a race. Thank
gawd for you he doesn't race eh?

Honestly, it *did*, once!

It was fantastic. At the end of a cross channel trip, the wind went around
to the NW. The water was flat, and Setanta behaved like a great big
dinghy.

You will *never* experience the thrill of doing 8.5 kts upwind in a crab
crusher. 12 kts with the wind on the beam is NOTHING compared to 8.5
upwind.

We were whooping and cheering like there was no tomorrow!




Even so.... it's nowhere near the speeds reported by Bob on that C&C 32

That's true. Bob has one fast boat!!!

Jealousy becomes you MC...... I'm certain that dragging a kelp forest on your folding prop would equate the drag provided by my Dory. The only difference is that I sailed not only out of but into the bay.

Heh..... that's not bad for my boat when I'm towing that Dory.

The area behind the Dory out to Outer Gull can have 20 foot rolling breakers

Oh darn.... you're right. I'll have to upload the rest of the batch. I was trying out their new uploading program that claimed it could do a batch of photos at one time.

Sails were up.... the marina I was at is chock full of power boaters and I wouldn't ever give them the satisfaction of seeing a rag bagger chug out of the bay.... even into a head wind in tight channels.
