Still not an answer Jaxxie.


Like I said, you don't know WTF you're
talking about.


Wrong... you don't, I do.


C'mon then, tell us the boundary conditions for vortex shedding.



Closer, Jaxxie, closer... head angle is related to planform but the two are not at
all the same thing.


Are you saying the planaform cannot define the head angle?

Sure, whatever you say. You're as right about this as you are about
aerodynamics... oh wait, you haven't said anything substantive about
aerodynamics, in fact you are vigorously dodging any & all questions...

..... Open transoms are not generally acceptable for really just one
reason Doug,


What you mean to say is that open transoms are not acceptable to _you_.
Oddly enough many others have sailed lots of sea miles with them. So
your comments about how terrible they are show your ownlack of
experience and comprehension.


Comprehension? what part of "generally not acceptable" do you not grasp?
What % offshore cruising vessels have open transoms? Now why is that?
C'mon explain it it should eb easy with your vast knowlege



This thread is following the classic pattern... MC bluffs, he blunders,
he dodges & prevaricates... then he starts with insults. It becomes
obvious that he can't answer the question. Does this pattern fulfill a
psychological need for you, Navvie? How many times will you be driven to
repeat it?


I'd say your response describes your behaviour better than mine.
Insults? I rarely insult or threaten -unlike you who always is reduced
to ad hominems. As for prevarication, you do nothing but. How about a
concrete reference to all the races you've claim to have won at national
level? Engineering -what qualifications do you have?

OK then, what factors would affect which one is better?

Rig geometry of course!



Now we are getting somewhere.


Good lord. What a pompus man.


What rig geometery would favor a frac rig (remembering the issue of jib
head tip vortex)? Would aspect ratio be significant (again, just a
reminder, jib head tip vortex)? How about the head angle of each sail
respectively?


So, you don't know? Why do you want to know, you don't cut sails or
design rigs? Isn't this yet more pomposity on your part?


... This reminds me of children who are too lazy/stupid to frame a
question properly and don't really want to know the answer but just
get attention. They just keep saying "But why..."


So, even your toddlers are asking you questions that you don't know the
answer to?


You really don't get it do you? In the previous para I count no less
than 3 questions.

Really? Quote a single post of mine where I have insulted you... other
than by saying that you babble, which is only the truth.

Look it up. To qoute you, "use google, you lazy sod." Oh wait, that
wasn't an insult was it? I posted two links to regatta results, although
it was some years ago.

Engineering -what qualifications do you have?

Why do you care?

I like to discuss sailing and related technical issues. I don't like
double talk, and I don't like pretenders. You used to talk sailing here
in a fairly credible way, but for the past few years you have sunk
deeper and deeper into the role of pedantic buffoon. Do you like it?

Instead of declaring how stupid other people are, a clear explanation of
things that you do understand will go a long way to improve your
credibility. Right now you're about a half step above Jax... in fact you
seem to be relying on him to bolster your arguments.

but, doguies, you don't know anything but what you read on a usenet ng, and you
refuse to learn. And to make matters worse, you are a sophist.

I don't like
double talk,

yeah, you like straight-shooting bull****.

and I don't like pretenders.

dude, check the mirror and then try to say that with a straight face.

Instead of declaring how stupid other people are,

a lot of people, such as yourself, are purposely stupid. you work at it and
should be rewarded for your efforts.

a clear explanation of
things that you do understand will go a long way to improve your
credibility.

six times? eight times? 28 times? how many times, dougies, before the clear
explanation sinks into your thick skull?

Maybe, maybe not. The only thing that matters is
1- when people hire me to solve a problem, my solution works
2- they pay me

and you already owe me money.

Well,there's another surpise. Doug just resorted to another insulting ad
hominem. Perhaps what you mean to say was I was acceptable to you for
as long as I didn't openly challenge your bull****.

When a genuine question come up I always respond honestly. Furthermore
you may call me a buffoon if you wish (I really don't care) but it's
only you that is always self aggrandizing. I only disagree with you when
you post incorrect information -as I promised I would. So stop BSing and
you won't have to read my replies. It's that simple.
