With the thimble and shackle there's ZERO chafe

WRONG!

Please explain how chafe happens with zero movement of the loop.

saw the same thing at Jersey City Marina. It's far better than just
tying
it
and there's no stray line on the dock.

bob, you****head, you got shot down on this once before, remember? you
were
even stupid enough to buy a shackle, install it on your dock cleat, the
wrong way BTW, and take pics and post them on the internet,


Sorry, Scotty Potty, but YOU all got slammed. I took more than one pic.
ALL
boats at these marinas have this setup and I see it more and more. I even
posted the sign at the club explaining to members that this is SOP.
Anytime you want to come have a look, I'll bet you ANY $$$$ that ALL
marinas
here use that system. South and North Min., Anna's harbor slips, even the
private docking for the condos!
Well? Put up or shut up!

Based on a quick psych evaluation of Scotty's posts
vs. yours, one would also get the impression that Scotty enjoys his boat
more than you enjoy yours. What's up with that?

Uhhh, gee, John....why don't you explain the criteria for your
"evaluation"
based on e-mails!?

RB

C'mon Bob, try a little harder. How long have you been POSTING here. You
constantly belittle Scotty's choice of boat. Think about it. You've heard
the term, kicking a dead dog, right? If you think Scotty owns such a crappy
boat, why keep bringing it up? You think Doug King is an inferior sailor
because he owns a trawler. You almost constantly imply that you're somehow a
better sailor than most here because you claim that you sail more frequently
than other folks here. I've said it before, I'll say it again.You brag about
how much you sail in the same fashion that a 2 yr.old boy proudly talks
about how he used the potty. Something you EXPECT a 2 yr. old to do,
something that's disturbing in a fully formed adult personality. Did it ever
occur to you that a fair percentage of the folks here DON'T post about EVERY
time they take their boats out? It's almost as if you're trying to convince
us that you enjoy sailing or that sailing is enjoyable, don't really know
about you, but I think most of us enjoy sailing, we don't need the approval
of others for that. One other thing. Most sailing industry insiders
(including brokers) will candidly admit that yacht brokers, for the most
part, are the equivalent of used car salesman, and I think that most of the
folks that post here regularly (and have had to deal with brokers) know this
also. Trying to be a broker isn't going to impress anyone here. And lastly.
Owning a very nice boat might carry some weight with absolute beginners, you
know, someone that only recently took up sailing, had done a lot of reading,
knows about all of the top names. The rest of us know that owning a nice
boat or an expensive boat has absolutely nothing to do with the ability of
the owner, period. It's sort of like the downhill skiing thing, the cost of
the skiers outfit tends to be inversely proportional to their ability.

Nothing Boobsie does impresses anyone here. Except for the time he won a
pizza eating contest...

Well, that's true, but owning a really nice boat counts for something.
Doesn't mean you're a good sailor but owning a nice boat (ie a boat that
indicates some knowledge of priorities and some skill at maintenance) is
a plus.

In a lot of obvious cases, sure... they are yuppies who are too busy
with their workaholic careers to take time to learn to ski... or sail...
takes some practice & patience, which can't be put on a Mastercard.

My boat may not be as fast as yours, and I may not be as salty as you,
but I'm not a fake.

I'm curious, Joe. How do you earn a living, get the money to pay dock
fees and maintenance on your boat, and still have all that free time to
spend sailing around the bay, plus the time you spend following this ng?

Jim


Daddy left me 4 oil wells

Joe

Good for you Joe.

I also have some ocean front property in Arizona. You interested? Its
for sale.


But I don't have even one oil well,


Dab burnit what kind of Texan are you anyway. You at least have a
ranch right?
What about a Ford Truck?


and I have lots of
deadlines and responsibilities at work and home

Don't we all Jim. You should move aboard and set up your law firm
aboard. Make the commute to work enjoyable. Perhaps you should move
into a speciality that make more jack with less hassles and deadlines.
Just a suggestion.

that take precedence
over sailing.

Yeah me to. If I dident have to make money Id be on Palmyra searching
for the lost gold. Or crusing thru Europe on the canals.

My wife and I did get out today, for an afternoon of sailing.

Well good for you. Did you bring the rugrats? The miss and I went for
a dink ride but lost the impeller on the outboard so the trip was cut
short.

Were are you going to anchor on the 4th for the fireworks display?

We will most likely anchor in the bay east of the Kemah cut. You will
see us sail the bay most of the day then anchor around sunset for the
show. My Ketch is Red with Yellow Trim, come on by and raft up with
us. We will have a 60 foot crewboat with cold AC to raft up to.

BS spouted more BS:
Jim, remember...Doug "sails" a Trawler!
How ridiculous....Doug is a proven sailor, even by your standards...he has
posted pictures of his sailing activities on boats other than the
trawler...just because someone owns a trawler does not discount them from
any other boating activity...that's about as stupid statement as disallowing
someone as a sailor because they also kayak, canoe, row, scull, or purr
around in a run-a-about....you really have to go a far piece to make
yourself feel important, don't you?
