Nonsense - there's no reason why a folding prop shouldn't push you to hull speed. In
fact, one reason for a folder is that you don't have to sacrifice prop size to prevent
drag. Further, unless it is very mismatched, it should allow you to go faster with sail
and engine than engine alone (up to a point). I normally power at 7 knots , but I often
motorsail at 8-9 knots.

Is it possible those boats with "omegas" on the sail were Solings? Either way, you should
be faster then a Soling or J24 in many conditions. And why would you brag about being
faster than a C&C 27?

I bet that old iron jenny was revved up to max rpms
to catch up on and pass that J-24.

More ignorance on parade!
The C&C 32 would never catch the J24 with the motor on...it's impossible with
the folding prop. Best speed is 6 knots or so.
On a reach we average 7.5 to catch the J. Later we met another pair of J24s
(Omega on the sail) that were better handled. It took more effort to pass them
as they were trimming and working at it.
Let's see a Coronado 27 do that!

Bwahahahahaha! Poor Neal!!!

Jeff, speed for the 32 under power is listed as 6 knots. I can make a bit
better in calm water. With a three blade fixed she'll make hull speed at far
lower RPMs.
My buddy's J-30 could easily make 7 knots with a fixed blade. Now he tends to
make 5 with a fold unless he pushes it.

They were J24s. The Omega symbol was on the hull and sails, taped/painted on.
Some kind of club. We also saw J24s that said Newport Sailing Club.
I'm bragging because Neal's boat CAN'T pass a J24 or C&C 27.

Wow! You spent 16000 times what Neal's boat is worth and you're bragging that it a little
be faster. Good one, Boobie!

Not a single white cap and you have furled the genoa? Are you afraid of
heeling or that that keel repair not trustworthy?

Click on the above to see why Neal will never be taken at his word, while I
continously provide proof positive that I sail my (wife's!!!) boat! And do it
well!
Bwahahahahaha!
No way does Neal EVER pass a J24. No way, no how. Billy Jane MIGHT, but I doubt
it. Meanwhile, we enjoyed better cruising and comfort than any Express 30 or
the like!
Sailed (and I mean SAILED) through Hell's gate Friday evening (took lots of
tacks near the Brother's), though we motored after that as the buildings shut
the wind down. The city was beautiful and it was a clear night. Took a slip
over at Jersey city Marina. Woke up early and helped rebed hardware on my
friend's Galaxy 32, then cleaned her up. By 10:00 am we decided we deserved a
sail, so we took everyone out on Alien for a quick sail-by of Lady Liberty.
Does anyone know the deal with that fireboat that takes tours and blows the
water guns for the crew?
Dropped everyone off and sailed for the Verazano....under and out past Coney
Island for dinner. We didn't get far offshore, so that'll have to wait a couple
of weeks for that one. We hit the river again and made Hell's gate in record
time. We anchored right near home off of Fort Totten and had the best "sleep"
ever!

Crew on the J24 is waving! Maybe they should pull the outboard up!

Whyshould they? They didn't know they were racing. Maybe you should head up
to be on the same course as them or can't you do that because the candyass
cabin top traveler leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to trimming the
main. No real sailboat has a traveler mounted on the coach roof. No real
sailor would own such a boat. All those fine Hunters have coach roof
travelers. Express Yachts new where to locate the traveler to attract
experienced sailors.

Our genoa is down to 120

I guess you were reaching down on the J24 doing 11 kts and got scared.

Your're assuming the talent is equal.... not a sensible option.
