Seriously? Well done! Care to list them?


No. It's late here. I'll let you do it.

The lazy sheet on the jenny looks taut,
the fender on the sidedeck is very poor seamanship,
I cannot figure out what that pile of string on the coachroof is
I'm surprised at the level of heel in such a light breeze
the belly of the main seems too far forward
The jenny car is too far forward
Is the topping lift too tight?

The fender on deck is certainly "not" very poor seamanship. Wrong.
You can't figure out the pile of "string" even after I identified it?
Level of heel is correct as she's just to put the boat to starboard so the sun
would be abeam. So wrong again.

Yes, actually it is. Fenders should be stowed unless you're
using them or getting ready to use them.

We were. We were only out for an afternoon sail...a couple of hours. No need to
stow fenders and they're not in the way or impeding the operation of the boat.

Hey Bob,
Remember how I stowed mine? Tied to the toe rail and hung outboard off
the top lifeline with a snap hook. Out of the way, instantly
deployable, and take up no storage space.

Yeah, that was pretty workable, but I tend to want them out of sight if I'm
going for anything beyond a few hours.
Your system worked well though.

That's just plain stupid!

The fender is lying directly in the path of anybody who tries to go forward
on that side of the boat. Sometimes. you have to go forward in a hurry.
You really don't need obstructions on the sidedecks whilst you are under
way. You should stow the fenders so that they will not interfere with the
safe operation of the vessel.

It's pretty light air, as evident in the pic. Unless you're on cruches,
stepping over the fender is not exactly a challenge. I actuall managed to make
it past the deadly plastic obstruction to take the photo.
Please explain how the fender is dangerous for our short day sail.

Every novice sailor knows this. To do otherwise is just plain slovenly
laziness.
