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!

I love the disappearing jib you have there, Booby.

I bet that old iron jenny was revved up to max rpms
to catch up on and pass that J-24. I don't have to
resort to using a motor to overtake and pass them.

I do it all the time under sail alone. You should try it
sometime - being under sail, that is.

Some one besides Nutsy, confirm what I'm seeing or tell me I'm full of
**** . Not you Nutsy, we're talking about you not to you.

Good one, Thom! I'm sure someone will confirm!

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.
