the FAA, shen, back several decades. the US navy, shen, back a couple
centuries.


ROFL Since this is about "boating" we could care less what the FAA has to say.
As for the Navy .... let's just say they have their own language which isn't
always in tune with that of the overall maritime world ..... no problem.
So tell me Jax .... what do "Marine Pilots" say?

Shen

No. You act weird in quartering seas, jaxie. Since you don't even know what
kind of cat you were on, there's no way to generalize your fumbling to all
cats.


jeffies, I know what boat I was on. are *you* saying that SOME cats are pieces
of squat at sea while other cats are acceptable sailboats?

yeah, THAT is what you are saying.

jeffies, which kind of cat do *you* sail?

My autopilot tracks just fine in 4 four foot quartering waves. Rock steady.
If
yours can't, you don't know how to use it.

jeffies, the autopilot tracked CON FRICKEN TINOUSLY, and even then a little
late. Steering by hand was quicker,more steady, less noisy.

maybe *you* didn't notice?

of course. the FAA knows nothing about navigation.

As for the Navy .... let's just say they have their own language which isn't
always in tune with that of the overall maritime world

of course. The US Navy knows nothing about navigation.

no problem.

everyone is glad you feel that is "no problem", shen.

drunk in the bar with you, or sober two days later?

ROFL Lame, jax, real lame, even for you.

no problem.

t'isn't. I even use right/left rudder and number the mooring lines when I'm
playin with them ..... kinda like the old phrase "different long splices".

drunk,sober or hung over ....what do they say?

Shen

shen says "uncle", as witness his post below.

damn. and just after he learned that the sun is reference point in navigation,
too. I was hoping he *might* have learned of the term "celestial navigation",
but it seems no.

oh, well.

I'm sure it was a fine craft until you stepped on board.

You're the one who said you couldn't steer the boat.

You're the one who said you couldn't steer the boat.

you live in a strange universe, jeffies. that is not what I said. I did say
the boat wallowed around in quartering seas and was hard to keep going in a
straight line without continuous steering.

I understand this is common for cats, and cat owner sooner begin to think of
this as "normal".

So you're saying the autopilot handled it just fine, but you thought there was
too much rudder action. And it was too difficult for a novice like you to hand
steer? Now we understand, you want a heavy displacement, full keel boat that
will plod along at three knots even if you're dead drunk.
