May be there is no such thing as a straight line. After all, space is
curved.

incredible that the olde fart thinks a curved line is straight.

Nav;

That was Jax. I said a Chord was a straight line that touched a curve at
tow places and sometimes used in airfoil design.

He couldn't answer the question and he had to invent something that he
could knock. Pay no attention when he is pinned, he'll write a reply to
his own lie. Something like Simple Sieman.(Puts in his thumb and pulls
out a plum and says; "What a good boy am I!").

P/S A "CHORD" is used in a Airfoil to measure the leading edge to the
trailing edge. That is for Jax's benifit not yours

sometimes, old man??

old man, that is what I said from the beginning. maybe you were too zonked out
to recall you said a chord is a curved line, maybe you were still to zonked out
to remember that I posted a direct definition of chord, and maybe STILL to
zonked out to recall any of that now.

Jax;

You're having a very hard time remembering all your lies. They're all
just smoke anyway.

You still haven't answered, THE QUESTION. How do you trim YOUR SAILS
for Max Efficiency for Newton's Laws?

I answered the main part of the question. I'm leaving the part of Trim
for you. I'll not answer for you. I really don't think you know what to
look for but, it's all yours. Prove me wrong. Tell us, one and all, How
to trim for Close Haul, Close Reach, Broad Reach and Down Wind.

I really thought you let this post die. I did. It seems you have more
lies to tell but no answers.

Have you found something that tells you what to look for as you trim?
Trim a Sail on a Sail Powered Vessel.

Don't tell us about a SAIL with one Curved Side. We don't need to know
about Ground Effect on a Sailboat. A sailor isn't really concerned with
Downdraft or Updraft. We don't have Flaps or Props or Jets.

A Sailor has Halyards, Outhauls, Sheets, Sheeting Angles, Cunninghams,
Vangs, Back stay adjustments, Forestay tension, Barbar hauls. These are
the main adjustments. I won't ask you about Jumper stays or Jack stays

Tells us just how you use and set them for different wind strengths and
directions?
I know you must have some idea about their use. I know I've given you
enough time to research their use. Tell us, Oh Wise One?

Jax, I'm finished with this Post. You've been Busted to Pieces. I have
nothing more to prove with you. You have had enough time to answer the
original Question. ANSWER IT! You might save some of your dignity. I
dought it.

I've already released you, Little Fishy, stay away from the Hook!

Jax, I'm finished with this Post.

it is about damned time, old man. you hve been incoherent from the start.

I really thought

no, you did not.

How do you trim YOUR SAILS
for Max Efficiency for Newton's Laws?

let me ask you a question, old man. are you REALLY saying that trimming is
sails is different if one believes in "bournulli" (as you do) as compared to
"Newton's Laws" (sic), or Quantum Theory, or Unified Theory?

if *that* is what you are asking old man, the answer is "trim the sails until
you are going as fast as you wish to go".

Don't tell us about a SAIL with one Curved Side.

old man, my comment about a sail "curved on one side" was intended to mock
*you*. it appears you still don't understand that.

old man, let me give you a hint. sails are curved on BOTH sides. think about
it for a few weeks.

We don't need to know
about Ground Effect on a Sailboat. A sailor isn't really concerned with
Downdraft or Updraft. We don't have Flaps or Props or Jets.

whatever are you babbling about? *that* is the reason you think air movement
reacts differently to a verticle surface than it does to a horizontal surface??
geesh, old man, air flow doesn't know or care.

old man continues with more tripe thusly:

A Sailor has Halyards, Outhauls, Sheets, Sheeting Angles, Cunninghams,
Vangs, Back stay adjustments, Forestay tension, Barbar hauls.

Splendid, Thom! What a wonderful roamin' candle you've just set
off!
