Excuse Me Bob but....
 

According to Simp, going to the foredeck and back to the cockpit and then to
the mast is too much moving about and lubberly,

Skitch, please let us know . . . .

How was the Coney Island shark feeding trip? Didn't make it, did you?

Bull...the proper way is whatever works for you....and you would know about the tests of time...I believe yours is quickly
running out...

-- Pick up and secure one mooring painter

Or on your way past the mast you can undo the halyard, loop it under the cleat on the main and walk forward with it...loop it
under a deck cleat, catch the painter, flip the halyard off one cleat then the other and voila! BTW, this does work....I know
it for a fact....

An assumption, only. I'm sure I wouldn't know.

It's clearly the incorrect method of sail handling.

1) longer lines mean more friction,
2) turning blocks mean more friction,
more friction means sails don't come down easily,
3) extra length of line means increased
chances of a snag or a jam,
4) longer lines means more expense,
5) longer lines mean increased tripping hazard,
6) roll-up jenny means at least two extra lines
to snag and jam and trip on,
7) leaving the tiller is no problem if the skipper
knows what he's doing,
8) sailboats don't have a bridge - they have a helm,
9) you have to go to the mast anyway to secure and
cover the mainsail so that shoots the hell out of
your 'unsafe' argument.
10) Roll-ups don't roll up too well when they are
flapping in the wind as is the case when one
picks up a mooring.

Idiots and fools including you Moroon. I can understand
ineptitude from the likes of Katy but you should know
better. Shame on you. What a lubberly outfit!

It's not only idiotic to work at the mast ... it removes you from the
"bridge" when single handing.

Pick up and secure one mooring painter...... walk to the cockpit and drop
the sails.... coil the sheets and then return to the bow and work your way
back making fast the second mooring painter, bagging sails and placing the
sail cover.

This isn't work Cappy... it's part of sailing.

Wrong, crabby Kates! The proper way is the simple, uncomplicated
way and not systems that have extra and unnecessary moving parts,
cost more, result in more failures and dangers etc., etc.

I guess you are the type of person who uses an electric can opener
instead of a hand operated model which is superior in every way.
You probably use a dishwashing machine instead of doing them by
hand and you probably cannot have an orgasm without a vibrator.

That is the fix you have gotten yourself into by you stupid and
pathetic reliance upon unnecessary systems. Real sailors keep
it simple and they live longer, more satisfying lives and that's
a fact. No wonder Moroon is an alcoholic - he thinks and sails
like a woman - he needs something to dull his senses to forget
his lubberly way. You as a woman have an excuse for idiotic
behavior because female brains don't function logically but
Moroon????

And it proves you live if an imaginary world if you have
not seen it going on. Either that or you sail even less than
40 hours a year. Some sailor. Ha a hahha h a ha hah ah ah!


"katysails" wrote in message ...

Usually there is a lot of hollering and screaming
going on while the mooring procedure takes place

Like I said...you live in a strange and sad world if that's what you're exposed to all the time...no wonder you're warped.

Of fer cryin' out loud.... I never heard such a line of whining from
someone that purports to be a sailor in my life. I have oversized blocks and
very fair runs... my 12 year old nephew can hoist the main without a winch
required until the last 2 feet of hoist. If you're stupid and clumsy enough
to trip you deserve to fall. Expense is irrelevant when it comes to lines I
don't scrimp on quality. My boat no only has a bridge and a helm I also
have several other locations ..10 Forward, The Libido Deck, 4 Battle
Stations and a "brig".

The only idiot is the person so inexperienced in a variety of sailing
vessels and configurations as to tout "his" system as absolute for use in
any vessel. Stand Down and Stand By One... If I get down there this winter
I'll show you how things work on a proper vessel.
