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

I like this response:

"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!"

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.

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.

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

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

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!

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
"grip"

17% of what? 90 degrees?

Now I've seen it all.

It isn't nice to make fun of Bob because he can't afford a boat with a
teak toe rail. Do you take pleasure in the misfortune of others?

We wouldn't want you to hurt yourself....

I believe you're the one who posted pictures of you moving forward
to take pictures. How about anchoring? Do you do that from the
cockpit?

More typical bs, proving that you know nothing about sailing.

Teak? How about titanium (to hold his weight).

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.
