Great Sailing!!!
Boat was loaded down with 10 people yesterday, but wind was awesome!!!!
Re-installed the boom vang just in time as we ran downwind at 9 knots! What a ride!!! Luckily, dispite some heavy air and waves, no waves crashed down on anyone! Coming out of Manhasset Bay we saw a J24 get knocked down. Thankfully he has his lockers locked! RB |

See, Bob? Even the lurkers don't believe a word that you say. Boo hoo!!! But I love that you believe that Scotty caught water up and OVER his bow in his area! Do you even know who Scotty's sock-puppet here is? Bwahahahaha! RB |

With a strong wind blowing against the current, it is possible to have 6'
waves even in the upper Chesapeake, especially in the vicinity of Pooles Island. Are you implying that you are just one of Scotty's sock puppets? -- ---- Steve S/V Pony Express "Bobsprit" wrote in message ... See, Bob? Even the lurkers don't believe a word that you say.

Of course I have photo's! By the way....Donal, "me" is a sock puppet of a fellow you speak to quite often and kindly! Am I still "losing?" Hmmm? RB |

i can confirm that sailing conditions were awsome July 31st.
Lower Bay, NYC winds S/E at 20+ kn steady. Stupidly single handing an unreefed Freedom 36. Got beat to hell, but lord it was geat. Yup...calmed down a bit after 6, then picked up again for a while. My boat was so bloody crowded, but we had lots of rail meat. I sailed into Manhasset bay to get a bitof protection so we could safely cut a watermelon. RB |

****, what was wrong? You did 11kts before in light air. S/V Express 30 "Ringmaster" Trains are a winter sport |
Great Sailing!!!
No, Donal, I said what I said. My top speeds that day were 7.5 kn dead down wind, in the lee of Sandy Hook, wing and wing in a calm sea in 18kn apparent. 8.2 kn close reaching in 4 to 6' beam seas, 26 kn apparent. Way over canvassed. Could probably have done the same reefed w/o the rudder drag.

Well, Marc...hope for some good wind Sunday and maybe we'll see 9 knots...or at least 7! Miserable and rainy here today with plenty of thunder. We're heading out anyway at 6:00 to get some work done on the plumbing...something's funky with the main pump for the sink/shower. Donal's doing the best he can. He's a Beneteau owner. RB |

8.2 kn close reaching in 4 to 6' beam seas, 26 kn apparent.
We actually had higher wind funneling out of Manhasset bay's entrance. Calmed down after we sailed in a bit. Knotmeter read 8.5 a few times on a reach. The GPS was at 9 once, around 7.5 the rest of the time. Great ride, but too many people on board. By the time we left the bay it had dropped off and we were just a bit under hull speed. Great little daysail! RB |

Great Sailing!!!
IIRC, the spot he's talking about, the entrance to Manhasset, has a serious current. 2
knots, I think? "Donal" wrote in message ... "Bobsprit" wrote in message ... 8.2 kn close reaching in 4 to 6' beam seas, 26 kn apparent.

Manhasset is the western end of the sound. and the current does run
1.5kn 1-3hrs opposed to the race until you get to Eatons Neck/Oyster Bay,when it begins to coincide.

I haven't sailed the area for years, but I don't recall anywhere on the eastern end of the Sound with serious current. |
Great Sailing!!!
Yes. I meant to say the western end. The eastern end is a whole 'nother
matter when it comes to current. I was well into the bay with nominal current when I recorded max. speed. In any case, 9 on the knotmeter and 8.5 on the GPS a few times. Do the math anyway it entertains you. We were moving nicely, passing everyone but a huge Beneteau Oceanis 46 or 49. RB |

... Honestly, I could get 13 knots
through the Alderny Race if the boat was only doing 4 kts. A 9 knot current/tide? Is that a genuine figure? Donal says his boat commonly does 13 knots, so who knows what he thinks he thinks!? RB |
