Don't tell me you told her that the trim was perfect!

Winches at the base of the mast? Haven't seen that on any modern boats under
40 feet. Ugly blue fender on deck while sailing? Boom is on the centerline
and the genoa is bagged out?

Didn't he say he had a new main? That sail looks pretty baggy.
Don't you love the people that sheet in hard on a beam reach. They seem to
think that if they are heeling, they must be going fast. He's heeling, what
about 30°, in 8 k wind?

Hmmm. We can see how little Steve knows about sailing, though he might blame
the angle of the pic.
We are actually too far upwind and the genoa (a 150) is furled down to 120 or
so. The headsail is actually backing, though it's out frame. Suzanne was trying
to make it around Hart Island and back to our slip without tacking again. The
wind near Port washington is generally gusty allowing her to make good speed
too far up.
The big question is why "that's a stupid place for a fender?"

Bwahahahahahaha! Go sailing guys! Bwahahahaha!

Nice pic. Shame the attitude that goes along with it. By the way, the quality
of the women is improving also, or maybe it their relative state of undress.
Your sail trim skills have not improved much. You need to study a little more.

That's a big genny. The sheet lead is too far forward even if it is furled. I
would hate to see it with the sail completely unfurled.

You're correct. I was too lazy and we were sailing fine. BTW, there was a nice
IP 35 out there singlehanding and carrying full sails and while we were faster,
I was surprised how well he did in the thermals when the sun went down. I'm
sure he was damn comfortable, making 6 knots+ with very little heel. If I lived
someplace with better wind I'd think about an IP.

And that is why you are not a real sailor.

Well I should hope so. You were doing 11 right?

He was worried about stubbing a toe on a stanchion, but leaves a fender lay
on deck.

The trim is set for pointing too high and is correct.

"correct trim for pointing too high"? As Oz would say, you're nuts.
