Default Spot the mistakes

I agree with you on some points. The pile of string must be a jenny or
main halyard but he's made it up in way that is not good seamanship. The
fender is very bad and shows pure laziness -an anathema to a real
sailor. The mainsheet is way too tight and traveler positioned badly.
The helm is not paying attention to what is going on. The section foot
of the main is too flat. looks like a major lack of chafe protection on
those shrouds and screws. The lazy sheet _is_ tight. Life lines are
slack. Other ropes are cheesed (cheezing is for port only). Lazy jacks
have not been taken down along boom.

Gosh that's 11!

Cheers MC

I see... can you even see 5?



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?



Regards

Outside of the course change, which I had to give you, you've yet to list a
single serious error, even though I see them clearly in the photo.
Fender? Lazy jacks? You gotta be kidding!
I thought you "know how sails behave?"
Look again.

I pointed out the fault in the main Booby.

It's not a "fault" since we are off trim to facilitate the photo.
Yet their are gross errors you seem unable to spot.

Or leave em lying around so you can bang your head in
frustration...safely..

I think Donal suffers from Fenderphobia, also known as Clumsymaximum
Trippingdownus.
Us coordinated folks can step over fenders and even spilled coke Cola.

Yup, after telling Suzanne to steer to starboard to get the sun out from behind
her.
Still waiting to see if you can find ANY serious errors. I've given up on you
finding 11.

Oh good!

I didn't do too bad, did I?
