Poor billy? My boat doesn't list badly to one side like your tub.
Oh, so now my boat is listing? You are calling Steve a liar? He claimed I was clearly at 30 degrees in 8 knots. What give, Billy Boy??? Bwahahahahaha! RB |

Well, if there was only an 8 knot breeze, then something else is
making your boat list badly. Either that or the keel fell off. Finally....!!! Someone figured it out!!! Indeed, the keel has fallen off. By load shifting stacks of weights below I'm able to keep her on her feet. Still we suffered 14 knockdowns yesterday. All in 8 knots. Bwahahahahaha! Bill, you crack me up!!!! RB |

You're correct. I was too lazy and we were sailing fine. BTW, there was a

No, Loco. Boats with 25 foot LWL can't possibly do better than 7 knots or so. Hull Speed rule says so, right!? You raced regular on a tricked out J30 and only saw 10 knots "once." Bwahahahahaha! RB |

Of course it's easy. You stand up on the bow with the
boat hook and pick up the mooring while your husband does all the helmsmanship required to make it easy for you. Try picking up a mooring single-handed under sail in a crowed mooring field and you will then be a real sailor like me. One of my favorite ways is to sail upwind of the mooring, heave-to and drift sideways down on the mooring, pick it up, make it fast and then as the stem eyes the weather drop the sails. Of course one must have hank-on sails for this procedure to work right so that leaves you out, honey.

After making the mooring pendant fast one walks to the mast and cast
off both the main and jib halyards and both sails fall right down. Poor Katy would have to drop the main with the jenny slapping her across the head and shoulders and then go back to the cockpit to roll up the stupid wind up sail. Sooooo lubberly, don't cha know?

He says he likes backing up to balls 'cos they are slimy OH...those kind of balls...I thought you were talking about moorings...we carpeted our mooring ball so it doesn't bong on the side of the boat when there's some wave action. We did learn one thing this week, though. If there is a 3 foot wall of motor boat wave coming at you, get your dinghy (with you in it) away from the back end of the boat...you could really get sucked under there big time if you didn't take care....I fortunately had the swim ladder in my hand and pushed off before having the stern end land on top of me....dang motor boat freakoids...they zoom right up to the channel markers and then put on the brakes leaving a wall of water in their wake; they're still legal though, since they are under 5 knots as they enter the morring basin... -- katysails s/v Chanteuse Kirie Elite 32 http://katysails.tripod.com "Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea." - Robert A.

Neal,
We had our 22 on a mooring....had hank-on/hank-off sails....Been there...done that....moved on to bigger and better things, which is what most successful people do.

Because one picks up a mooring at the bow and one
has to walk past the mast to the cockpit in order to roll up the jenny and then one has to walk forward again to the mast to drop the main. This is lubberly. Any real sailor does his sail work at the mast. "The_navigator©" wrote in message ... Why couldn't she just let off the genoa sheets roll it up and then drop the main?

According to Simp, going to the foredeck and back to the cockpit and then to
the mast is too much moving about and lubberly, and not going forward at all is not enough moving about and is lubberly, but going to the mast and then forward and back is just right and seamanlike. Apparently, his rigidity in seamanship makes up for a lack of it elsewhere. It is unsafe in a rough sea... Cheers MC Simple Simon wrote: All real sailors do their work at the mast.

Never used the winch on the mast? No reason to....we have a Francespar boom which is fully rigged with all sorts of little goodies...we have a vang and the appropriate hardware for it (clutches for reefing line, outhaul, topping lift) Have used it for the downhaul a couple of times......we have two coach top winches that we use for the halyards....main can be set as tight as we want from the ciach top winch without having to go up and yark at the mast....If your boat was rigged with any type of equipment at all you wouldn't have to rely on antiquated methods to sail.... -- katysails s/v Chanteuse Kirie Elite 32 http://katysails.tripod.com "Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea." - Robert A.
