Please post photos of Alien sailing with "some heel" of 61.2 degrees.

That's some heel!

Enough for the deck-top fenders to roll overboard...

Real boats have toe-rails, wally! Tends to keep stuff on deck.
Real boats also tend to have lights.

Toe-rails? What exactly do you think they keep on deck?? Fenders?
You're not right even if the boat is in the slip.

Cripes! Bob thinks that a toe-rail would stop a fender rolling overboard.

Of course they do. The aluminum rails catch fenders, dropped tools and even my
cell phone! Heel really far and a fender could roll off, but then you can just
put it front of a stanchion. Anything so long as I don't have to stow them!

Unbelievable. That statement all by itself speaks volumes about
his lack of sailing experience.

I like this response:

A typical toe-rail is maybe an inch high? I can see how a 5 inch diameter,
bouncy fender would really be stopped by this height. The horror... what if
the rails aren't aluminum??

Put it in front of a stanchion? So to make it even more difficult to move
around
the boat, which is "heel(ing) really far." Dropped tools? Like when you're
doing
what on a moving boat?

Oh I know.. tripping over the fenders on the way to the chrome anchor.

Have a look at Wally's post. It shows that they will indeed stop them until the
boat heels quite far.

RB

Which post is that? Perhaps a fender will be held by a toe-rail if the boat
is in the slip, but I wouldn't want to bet on it.

Where are you moving to on a boat with roller firling and all lines led aft?
Have a seat..relax! Don't worry so much about other people's boats!

Bwahahahaha!

RB

It is? My boat, like many, has a longer waterline when heeled.

Most boats do. More importantly when heeling the sailplan spills wind. It's
wasted. The keel and rudder are not as efficient. They don't get as good a
