The statement is about sailboats, NOT about the crew. A sailboat has
unlimited
range. All other factors, such as crew and what they need are
external. The
BOAT has unlimited range.


As does a 12' rowboat.

Sailboat do not have unlimited range. Never did and never will.

The limiting factors; People and their needs.

Thom, you've proven my point with ease. SAILBOATS have unlimited
range.

As does a soda bottle.

Not with a shower stall installed on the soda bottle. So says Thom.

That doesn't make your statement correct.
Sailboat do have a limited range. It is a very good range but it does
have a limit, is people (crew) is involved.

The only sailboats that don't are the "Ghost Ships" That may be what
your Pooka means:^) He probably talk it over with "Harvey" Do you
suppose that is where the unlimited range came from?

Ole Thom


I guess that you don't consider circumnavigation of Earth "unlimited range"? So
where are you talking about? Sailing in outerspace?

BB
While the boat may have unlimited range asin circumnavigation, most, if
not all crews don't have unlimited range and must stop for food and
water. Unless you intend to survive on fish and rain water only.

The original statement was about sailboats, not crew. Thom and Scotty Potti
were wrong again.

Hey Pooka Bill,

Around the Globe non-stop is not unheard of but that was done with crew
and special provisions to extend the range

Pooka, Every boat anchored in the Harbor or/and on the hard have the
same range. That goes for sail or Power. It's range is set as soon as
crew is added that limits come into play.

Now, if you want to give us a news flash tell us about an "Around the
Globe" with a crewless sailboat. One sail set only. No course changes.
The Port of Departure the same as the Port of Entry, after a Globe
circling passage. Then I'll say with you: "Folks, you heard it hear
BAAAAHAAAAA!" Don't give me your dumb opinion and act like its FACT!

Pooka, why don't you get together with "Harvey" and have a drink? It is
senseless to have a discussion with a "FRIG----ment" of imagination.
This is the only time it is going to happen with me involved

Nutsy,

Hook that shower up to a fresh water tank and you got a pretty good size
soda bottle.

A vessel at sea is a "Derelict" without a crew, be it Sail or POWER.
The range of said vessel is unknown (Could be unlimited) but without
crew I'd dought it.

Give it up Nutsy, You're in a hole of your own making. Digging more only
makes it deeper!

Thom, your simply a victim in this one. A sailboat has unlimited range and it
sure isn't effected by a shower!

RB

Right, a sailboat has unlimited range. Provisions are a given. No one here said
that a sailboat had unlimited range WITHOUT provisions. You merely introduced
that item when you got caught with your pants down...again!

Wrong, wrong, wrong. You simply can't get a 25 foot powerboat long distances
without stopping. It's need for fuel is a huge problem. The sailboat doesn't
need fuel and it can make water. Plenty of 25 sailboats have crossed oceans and
circumnavigated. How many 25 foot powerboats?
I'll help you out. The smallest powerboat to circumnavagate is a 40 foot
Nordhavn.
And so ends Thom's desperate chance of making any valid points!
