Here are some reasons to drop a sail while BBQing off the back rail.

1) Boom stays in one place, less to worry about while you tend the grill.
2) Some forward motion of the boat keeps smoke aft and out of your eyes
3) Boat sails better in light air (which I specified) with genoa as opposed to
main alone.
4) Dispite Spirt's ignorant comment, it's near impossible to envision a fire
risk with an aft mounted grill in light air while underway! So much for the
Ferry sailor!

Of course, this is pretty obvious to anyone who sails and cooks underway.
Scotty-Potty does neither.
The BBQ chicken was fantastic!

In light air I have both sails up, as I would think most of the 'sailors'
here would. In most air, I have both up. You are a lubber putz.

This is excellent proof as to why I'm a better safer sailor than Scotty Potty.
With guests on board, I make the boat suit the situation. I sail the boat, the
boat doesn't sail me. Scotty seems to think he "needs" both sails to keep his
boat moving. Perhaps he's racing while cooking? He's worried about how he sails
and an imaginary and unbreakable set of rules. Not for me!
That means: If it's safer and easier to drop a sail while cooking in the
cockpit, a good sailor does just that.

Hoooh ahhh!

I see you've added 'safer' now.


I sail the boat, the boat doesn't sail me.

WoW! That belongs on a plaque at the Naval Academy.

Sure bob, just like I '' need'' a gun. Are you also afraid of sails?

Which rules would they be?

Sailing is Not for me!

No boob, only you.........only you.

RB, just the fact that I got you to post the above drivel, shows that I WIN.

Yup, I have a friend who's a sailing instructor. She always says, "Take control
of the boat and don't let it sail YOU."

Bwahahahahahaha! I suppose in the narrow minded world of a Seidlemann owner,
that makes sense to you.
So he I "needed" to not have a swinging boom behind and above me while
cooking.
There!

Hoooh ahhh!

Actually, Scotty potty "got me" to post it so he wins, according to your rules.
