Didn't you clam to to have expertise in shaping foils at one time?


I don't ever "claim" anything. That's for doofii like you, Boobsie, and
Jax.

I have made a number of under water foils, including centerboards &
rudders, and worked on a number of others. Could easily include
"shaping" although when working from scratch, have always used standard
foil sections. In some cases, one-design rules have to be kept.


So you made and worked foils but didn't shape the trailing edge? How can
that be? Could this be prevarication?

S'funny you avoided that last time. I offered the use of an
independent person but you ran away from that and refused all
reasonable terms for settling the bet. Could it be that you lost it?


"All reasonable terms for settling the bet" means that the loser pays.
You lost. So pay up.


No it means that the bet monies are sent to a reputable third party who
then adjudicates the result. I offered this but you declined. (Even an
idiot would know why). As it stands you simply declaie "I won" ignoring
the data I posted which shows clearly that I won. As I said before,
such childish behaiour is tiresome -even if is encouraged by others here.

Have you gotten any unusual attention from the Inland Revenue lately?


Bwhahahhahaha. Was that another thinly vieled threat? If it was, should
the group start to call you "Doug the cur"?

I don't think Doug is my friend. He really doesn't like me and has even
threatened me. But then he is the engineer who is paid for his expertise
and whose solutions always work! He also makes everyone he meets sail
faster! I'm hoping he will deign to solve all our foil trailing edge
uncertainties and make us all highly successful in our sailing
endeavors? But I worry, why doesn't he answer my simple questions?

Cheers

These are easy questions for an engineer but how long will it take Doug
to post the answers? Google may not help!
C'mon Doug the clock is ticking.

Well, you don't seem to have an opinion as to whether they should be
rounded or squared off. Is this not inconsistent with your claim to have
shaped foils?

I have never threatened you.

Oh, I have an opinion. This is a great example of your misquoting or
deliberately misinterpreting what I say.

... Is this not inconsistent with your claim to have

Since it is BS on your part, not really, no.

Not even a threat of giving me a hiding?

Is this a threat? In any event, the exchange shows your nature quite well.

I don't owe you anything except possibly a hiding, you welsher.

Talking of geodesics, have you found out what one is yet

Considering that I have built them, probably yes.

and why
they DON'T completely obstruct the interior of racing boats?

Of course, ones that don't have them.


bwhahhahaha

What an intelligent response. Did you learn that in your Junior Naval
Architecture course?

Perhaps this is a case of a simple miscommunication due to divergent uses of
the language!
Once, my friend in Sydney called to say he was "****ed" and I replied, "Why?
What have I done to make you angry?"
He laughed and explained that at his end, "****ed" means drunk. Imagine my
relief!
I read you both to be honorable and knowledgeable gentlemen and I have
complete faith that this will end well!
