Scotty "Flying Tadpole" wrote in message ... SHould be able to get down to one and a half boat lengths or thereabouts. Watch out on the jibes though. I was never stupid enough to attempt it on Flying Tadpole II, Lady Kate's ballast is reassuring. Make sure you're not doing it publicly when the traveller lets go...in a gentle breeze, it's a great way of holding position while waiting for the other boats to catch up.

Scotty,
I thought a donut was a mast gasket. Is this term used for more than one sailing device? Scout "Scott Vernon" wrote How big a circle should a proper donut be? |

To Scott & Tad,
For what it's worth; The practise of setting the boat up to sail unattended in lazy circles was developed by the NE Schooner Fishermen. It is called "LADYBUGGING" This was told to me by Bill Garden, the designer of the Gulf 32. He was a schooner sailor. He used it to wait for daylight before entering a unknown harbor. That what he said the fishermen did. He set his boat up with just the main sail, sheeted off into a loose upwind tack. The helm was put down to sail a circle. I've used it often, when we would have more than one race in a day. We have six fleets, with six starts so there was a lot of waiting, It's a pretty good technique to hold position away from other fleets starting but ready to go when it is your turn. I furl the head sail and Ladybug with the main. It keeps the Jenny off the stay as in hoove to. It works OK for a Sloop/with main. Scott, with a furling headsail you can almost get dizzy You may want to bring the helm up a bit, but not enough to sail away from the circle and start heeling Ole Thom |

It's pretty hard to get drunk on Natural Light, honey.
I'm not like Moroon, you know, I can take it or leave it when it comes to liquor. The same thing goes for my women. I take the sex and leave the money. You probably know how that all works.
