Sailing Advice, what not to do
Dear Capt.Neal,
Who are you to say if a person is too fat, they can't sail. Sailing is for anyone who bloody well wants to. I know a few over weight people who would kick your sweet but out on the water. And how can you say sailing on a lake isn't actually real sailing. I recal you said: "Sailing on a lake is not sailing any more than riding on bumper cars is like driving real automobiles in real traffic" (Capt.Neal) Geez it must of taken a while to come up with that piece of garbage. Sailings a lot tougher mentaly and tacticaly on a shifty lake than a constant gust of an ocean. You said the best cause of action is to buy a 25-30 foot sloop. Well!!! If you're pretending to be the americas cup campion that you think you really are mayby you should give advice at that level. An extra 50 kilo crew weight for a few fat people dosn't mean jack on a old sloop. "If you want to sail then learn to sail without a motor." (Capt.Neal) what kind of **** is that. If you are going to tackel the big atlantic seas that you say sailing is about, sailing without a motor is pretty stupid. Maybe you should read into sailing a bit more and shut up before you hurt someone. This so called advice about sailing sounds more like trying to grow a bigger dick. Any you signed "Respectfully Capt.Neal" what is that, not even a 8 year old holdy sailor would give any respect you think you deserve. Anyone reading this message watch out for people like Capt.Neal., his origional message is below which you should take a look at what not to do and what not to believe about sailing. Sailings for anyone and theres such a broard range of fleets, races,and clubs out there that you just have to drop by to start up. Dont believe everything you hear in forums on the internet. Go out and buy a book if you want to get into sailing. Josh Carr Australia Below is the origional message of Cpt.fathead know it all neal http://groups.google.com.au/groups?q...ews.com&rnum=5 |

An extra 50 kilo crew weight for a few fat people dosn't mean jack on a old sloop. On this, I mostly agree with him. You don't need a motor in the middle of the Atlantic (well, mostly, especially an outboard). If anytime you need it around the marina or harbors, and then only depending on the kind/size of boat. I didn't have an engine for several years on my 16 foot trimaran, and I teach students to dock under sail alone for 30+ foot keel boats. I don't recommend they do it unless they have to, but it's a good skill to have. Besides, there are many people who sail on large keel boats for years at a time without engines, they sail across oceans and dock in unfamiliar ports and usually don't have any problems. Not something I would do, but it can be done with relative safety. "If you want to sail then learn to sail without a motor." (Capt.Neal) what kind of **** is that. If you are going to tackel the big atlantic seas that you say sailing is about, sailing without a motor is pretty stupid. You have to have one first, which lets Neal out of the argument right there. (No offense to the women... they don't need dicks to be excellent sailors.) Maybe you should read into sailing a bit more and shut up before you hurt someone. This so called advice about sailing sounds more like trying to grow a bigger dick. I think you need to take a chill pill. Neal is just an irritant. He's not particularly dangerous.

Nah, take his advice, but only if you're brain-damaged to begin with. Anyone reading this message watch out for people like Capt.Neal., his origional message is below which you should take a look at what not to do and what not to believe about sailing. Sailing is most definitely *not* for everyone. However, the restriction is limited to those who have no interest in it. And, no, *don't* buy a book if you want to get into sailing. Terrible advice. Get out there and sail. Take a lesson or three. Go with a friend who has a boat or hang out in a marina where there's a racing fleet and try and get on a boat as rail meat. *After* you've had some hands on experience, then get a book... maybe. You won't learn anywhere near as much from a book as you will from actually getting out on the water. If you have to do something besides sailing, rent Captain Ron. While mostly a comedy, the best piece of advice he gives is right on. "If it's going to happen, it's going to happen out there."

We trashed him long ago for that post and have moved = on to even bigger and better trashings in the past two years. You need = to catch up. --=20 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.
