Reefing
I generally leave the reef in if the Queen is along.
I just can't believe that Lisa is that wimpy. How could a woman be married to you and still need a reef in for "protection"? Mr. Sails is a reef fanatic when we take OP's out on the boat. Says he doesn't want to terrorize them. Heck...I say give them the full effect. Either they'll sail well, or they'll stay home next time. Besides, there's the insuklt factor. As soon as some people see you reef and ask you why, they think you think less of them for not being sailors. They will gut it out if you let them. Of course, I think roller coasters are relaxing, too. -- katysails s/v Chanteuse Kirie Elite 32 http://katysails.tripod.com "Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea." - Robert A.

I saw someone motor into a rock (the marina sill, in fact) at 3 kts once.
There was nothing "gentle" about it. Seen it, too. A friend with a C&C 35 Mark whatever (race boat...won the Queen's Cup and Admiral's Cup) went cruising and hit a rock "gently" in the North Channel...C&C "smile" quickly ensued. Also, big C&C that used to be at our former marina named "Hedon" hit the reefs off the BVI, came home wearing a C&C "smile". Methinks would be a good thing to take a little snorkle trip under the boat and see if it's grinning. -- katysails s/v Chanteuse Kirie Elite 32 http://katysails.tripod.com "Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea." - Robert A.

Not under my real name.
By the way, some advice: Right click on the tool bar that has "New Post," "Reply to Group," etc. on it. Left click on "Customize" A window will open. By highlighting any command in the left pane of the window and clicking "add" the command will move to the right pane and appear on the tool bar, where you don't have to use menus to get to it. Makes OE easy and very fast to use. No cutting and pasting required. "katysails" wrote in message ... Katy, that's the first truly ignorant, illogical, and parochial thing I've ever seen you post.

think of where the America's Cup is right now.
Scotty, from temperate PA "katysails" wrote in message ... Ya know, every so often the "real sailor" thing comes up and we know where that leads...When I think of a "real sailor", I go back to what descriptions of sailors from history and literature. Did you ever notice that the great saialors, men who battled on the sea, or transported goods, or performed adventurous deeds, were ALL from temperate climates? They may have sojourned to the tropics, but the majority sailed back from whence they came. Think of the historically great ports: Plymouth, Liverpool, Bristol in Great Britain to name a few. In the USA we have Plymouth, Boston, the Chesepeake...We have all the great ports of the NE seaboard. From these ports, we imported and exported by sailing ship. We whaled. We fished. We made our country great. What sailors were noted for coming from the tropics? Pirates. Privateers. Slavers. It all fits, doesn't it? Think about it.... -- katysails s/v Chanteuse Kirie Elite 32 http://katysails.tripod.com "Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea." - Robert A.

Is that how ''real sailors'' do it, hit bottom, then go home and look at the chart to see what they hit? I plan to have a look at the charts today and see what's what. I'm guessing that the P30 would not have touched bottom. RB |

When a young woman asked Old Salty if he was a Real Sailor he replied
"Certainly! I was born on a boat and have sailed the seven seas for 60 years, endured storms and weeks long becalmings, etc., etc." "That doesn't matter," says she, "This is the New Millennium! It's what you *feel* that counts. For example, I'm a lesbian because I think about having sex with women 24/7! Never men just women! And whenever I see a woman I think about how she'd look naked and how it'd be to enjoy sex with her. Do you feel like that about boats?" "Well ... no" "Then you ain't no REAL Sailor" and she flounces off. A bit later a kid asks Salty if he's a sailor. Well, he says, I thot so but I just found out I'm a lesbian. Cheers Howard |

Last week we fixed a J-boat that hit some rip-rap...there was damage at the
top of the trailing edge of the keel where it joins the hull, sucker almost sank! Seahag Donal wrote : "The_navigator©" wrote: He was motoring into it of course! I saw someone motor into a rock (the marina sill, in fact) at 3 kts once. There was nothing "gentle" about it. |
