GASP !!!....you mean jax was right? Say it ain't so.

Well, he may have been right in theory, if not practical application.

Furthermore, it wasn't a 311 that I was talking about.


Poor Donal, there's goes Ozzy;s defense for you!
It doesn't matter which boat it was. Your comment still spells the same
results.
You don't understand helm/sail trim!

Bwahahaaha! Even Better!!!

RB

I call Bull****... it can't be done on any fin keeler!

I hope you're not serious.

RB

with little art and no finish.

There are pics of my boat. Pics of the work I did on her. Pics of the crew
and
my wife.
There are NO pics of your boat. None. You may be Christopher Reeves for all
we

Unfortunately, no pics of your wife's boat actually sailing. I guess it is to
be expected from someone in the media biz that a "pic" is proof enough of
anything, but most of us are able to convey the truth without relying on such
tangibles.

I call Bull****...

Seconded.

RB confuses balancing a boat so it will hold a course 10 seconds in a protected bay, with
doing it on a full keel boat for hours at a time in the open ocean.

I sailed an Irwin 30 for a season (not the best boat, but it was free) and it would track
for limited periods with the wheel locked. Sometimes a few minutes, other times 10
seconds. Even my Nonsuch could do it sometimes.

boat.

Yes... I've never seen a fin keeler that would allow the helm to be left
unlashed or unstopped and make way upwind with the helm free. It won't
happen... not in a month of Sundays. I could care less what trim you claimed
to have.... it will round up or fall off..... but it will not make ground to
the waypoint.

Dennis was talking about the America's Cup catamaran with a winged mast.

You are going to look *very* stupid when I explain that comment.

If you failed to explain it properly to begin with YOU are the only one
who'll
look stupid!
Now go ahead and make something up!!!


No need to.


The answer is very simple.
