NOT when you are sailing downwind in a boat with a 7 foot cockpit, and the
full width travellor is between you and the bulkhead mounted compass.

Oh, well that doesn't apply to a properly designed cruising boats like Alien.
The compass in front and center.

Once again, you have demonstrated that you are a complete fraud.

How so? Where are your pics?

RB

RB claims he's afraid to use a 20 year old compass because it might wear out or
get hit by
a winch handle.

My compass was NIB. She came with two Globemasters.

Wonder if boobs changed lipstick after kissing Moorons' ass and moving on to
Ozzys'?

Poor Scotty hates it when the tide flows the wrong way!

Bwahahaha! You fraud!

Properly designed cruising boat! Splutter!
I've just looked at your web site!

It's no wonder that you've no idea what I'm talking about. You don't have a
proper travellor at all. That puny arrangement isn't even as good as a
modern Hunter!!!

Oh crap, I left my steering wheel on. You never know when some klutz
,carrying a sledge hammer, might fall off the dock into my boat and bend
my
wheel.

Now I am worried.

No need to worry. The sun will have eaten through your mooring lines, and
your boat will have drifted off somewhere.

That's why I never tie my boat up, I like to protect my moring lines!

No lies, booby. Here's several places where Neal claims he is unable to reduce speed.
Note that he has insisted that this applies to any sailboat, including those going at hull
speed or higher. It sure looks to me like Neal doesn't know how to handle a sailboat.
Further, while he talks about "safe speed" which is always required, he ignores rule 19e
which requires him to "reduce speed to minimum" - that is minimum steerageway. He is
claiming this is impossible.


"A sailboat navigating in a fog cannot, like a motorboat, choose
her speed. A sailboat is at the mercy of wind direction and wind
speed which is most often low or non-existent in a fog. Any rule
that requires a sailboat do take an action she cannot take is not
a rule intended to apply to the sailboat."

" ... sailboats already proceeding at slow
and safe speeds somehow being required to go even slower
to the point where they cannot maneuver with any kind of
efficiency. You even want sailboats to stop when I have
demonstrated this is often not even possible. "

"I already told you about a billion times that a sailboat
already is operating at a safe speed. Reducing speed
to a safe speed when one is already operating at a safe
speed is not possible."

"How do you expect
a sailboat to stop her foward progress? Does your
sailboat have brakes or something? "

Neal insists he is not competent enough to sail his boat at any reduced
speed.

Another lie. Neal never indicated anything of the sort.

RB

Thanks for not letting Jeff get away with it.

He lost the COLREGS arguments so now
he has resorted to name-calling.

Jeff gives up on discussing the COLREGS with me and
now thinks the grass will be greener picking on Bobsprit.

Why don't you get one of those big ass extra long boarding ladders. I heard
they prevent that kind of thing from happening.
