Backstay tension
How come the adjustable backstay is never adjusted on Boobys boat? It
looks quite tight -is he worried about the cracks between the keel and hull? If he lets it out won't the silicone he repaired it with get squeezed out? What effect does adjusting the backstay have when the motors running anyway? Cheers MC |

Poor MC! He's trying SOOOO hard and he keeps getting slapped. Note the various trim changes in the backstay-look at distance above top of ladder. http://hometown.aol.com/bobsprit/images/nightliz.jpg http://hometown.aol.com/bobsprit/images/mary&liz.jpg http://hometown.aol.com/bobsprit/images/heyhey.jpg Keep trying, MC! I'm sure you can find something! Bwahahahahahaha!! Haha! RB |

I just love the sound of a Boobyfish flapping! Yum, such a fat fish
flapping on the dock. I't doesn't even need butter to fry it in! As you say, Hooooo Ahhhhhh Cheers MC Bobsprit wrote: How come the adjustable backstay is never adjusted on Boobys boat? Poor MC!

1st he says I don't adjust it. Now he sees that I do. I adjust it depending on who's behind the wheel. Some of the Alien girls have long hair and it catches. RB |

What happens
if there's a long haired runaway driving on a light air day? Well that's perfect. We ease it, which will keep it correct for her hair as well! RB |

Nope. I have a sure fire lure for you. Any post about your pathetic
sailing abilities guarantees a reply from you. Your trouble is you have no idea that everyone here is jerking your chain while you think you are trolling them!

That'll explain your 'adjustments' then. Do they get excited when you go
all sailorlike and pull ropes with your great bulging muscles? Is that what scared of Julia your former wife to be? Cheers MC Bobsprit wrote: Playing with it does not count.

no idea that everyone here is jerking your chain while you think you are trolling them! Pretty funny! There's only "one" of me, and no one (except 2 people) even knows who I am. But you're yanking MY chain? Oh, okay! That ole line! Bwahahahaha! RB |

Talk about dangerous and stupid.... but certainly not lazy! Nope, virtually everyone here has experienced injuries. I haven't and we have a lot of people out sailing every year. This summer we had more than 70 people out sailing. Think I'll stick to what works, not someone's rule that makes no apparent difference. RB |

We'll see. We're only a few weeks away from my REAL Bobsprit post. You're in for a bit of a shock. RB |

Your opinion, which has been noted. RB |

It's a good suggestion from far better sailors than I. I try
to learn from the advise of others. My suggestion is you give that a try. "Bobsprit" wrote in message ... FYI, it's not a rule. It's a good suggestion. Your opinion, which has been noted. RB |

to learn from the advise of others. When other sailors sustain injuries and other problems, and my boat doesn't while sailing more often and with more guests I have to realize that it's my advice they require. For short sails in fair weather fenders on deck effect nothing. No one can prove otherwise. RB |

Absolutely wrong. It doesn't take 2 hours to create a hazard. It only
takes a careless, lazy act (or lack thereof), and a moment's inattention. "Bobsprit" wrote in message ... The past cannot predict the future. You're a loser if you don't think common safety is important. Removing fenders for a two hour fair weather sail is "tidy" but has zero effect on safety. RB |

What a sad frustrated old man Scotty is. Twas a time he had humor. Now he's just bitter, calling me names in a witless gargle of depressing poorly spelled profanity. A shame. RB |

Jonathan, if Scotty's agreeing with me, then you must be right! RB |
Backstay tension
Not to mention it only looks slightly less lubberly than leaving them
hanging off the lifelines. Funny, doesn't want to look lubberly, but is too lazy to stow the fenders. Maybe he has a problem tying knots. John Cairns "Jonathan Ganz" wrote in message ...

You should be afraid. You can't accurately predict the situation whereby the
fender will be a hazard; therefore, the best approach is to eliminate the hazard, actually as many hazards as reasonably possible. You haven't done that, therefore you're putting yourself and your crew in danger by being lazy. And, yet again, I'm creating no rules. I'm just pointing out that you're not following common sense.
