Although I could care less about the dorky unseaman like way that boat is tied
up I couldn't help but notice a few things. One, it's a frickin power boat.
Two, it's a floating pier. And three, the dork using the thimbles is also one
of those Putzes who has never learned to park his little power boat so he has
those "spring" lines across the front of his slip so he can use them to crash
into when docking to stop his craft. I guess that's the kind of person who
uses the thimble method that the Boob prefers. Go away.
S/V Express 30 "Ringmaster"
"No shirt, no skirt, full service"

at so he has
those "spring" lines across the front of his slip so he can use them to crash
into when docking to stop his craft.


Once again, Poor Loco shows he knows so little about boats.
Those lines are for holding an inflatable.

Or tying your whisker pole to the deck?





Pathetic Earthlings! No one can save you now!

Nahh, you KNOW whisker poles are 12 feet or less, right Horvath???!!!

Bwahahahahaha!

You realize that Horvath is correct that whisker poles shouldn't be longer than
"J", according to PHRF rules.

Of course, class rules (and handicap requests) can be different from this; and
cruisers are likely to use as long a pole as the can handle.

You realize that Horvath said Whisker poles "can't" be longer than 12 feet,
don't you. Most cruisers carry a telescoping pole that extend quite a bit
longer than 12 feet. Even the one on my Catalina 27 was 9-17 feet.
To save face (after I posted suggested sizes from Forespar), Horvath introduced
his "racing rules" which had nothing to do with the topic.

You liar. I said you can't use one longer than your J.

Why would they? If you're not racing, what's the point of a whisker
pole?

I never said that. I said you can't use one longer than your J.

Here's what you wrote, Horvath..

That would mean you have a whisker pole that extends to over twelve
feet. Sounds like bull**** to me.


BUSTED!!!
