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.

He had to roll it up to keep it from flapping around in
the headwind created by the iron jenny. That is obvious.

There was not enough wind to make it necessary to keep
it halfway rolled up in a race with a J-24. I know how
fast J-24s are. I race them all the time up on Biscayne
Bay were there are some of the world's largest fleets
of them. I beat them all the time. They simply are slower
than my boat in all but very light winds.

Ohhh Cappy now you're just showing how green you really are!
Bubbles is reaching down onto the J which is close hauled and badly
trimmed, overlaoded and dragging an outboard.
The genoa is there just partially rolled...must have been blowing a
gale eh?

I welcome you to crackerbox palace,We've been expecting you.

Ozzy...you've got a sailors eye!
The genoa is rolled down quite a bit. It was really strange, but maybe typical
for the harbor. The wind would almost die, then pick up to 20 knots, then die
again, all minutes apart. The J kept rounding up, dumping his main, and was
overpowered. We ran into another J that was properly reefed. We passed him, but
not as quickly.
The Coronado 27 wouldn't pass ANY J24.
Neal must be banging his head against the bucket right about now!

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!!!

RB

Same tack as they is only fair. I don't cheat like

How sad!!!! Is this the best you have??
I guess it is.
And I'm TOWING a BIG dinghy, Neal!!!!

I think you better look at the pics again, dummy! Follow the jib sheet. The
sail is visible, though washed out against the sky.
Sorry!!!!

Bwahahahaha!

RB

I beat them all the time.




Suuuuuuurrreeee you do! That's why your boat is rated at 220 and J24s are
typically rated at 174!!!

Busted again!
