And grab a mooring as you fly by like Booby?

Neal® wrote: Yes it will. Cruisers don't even attempt to go to weather in those conditions. There's always an alternative destination downwind. CN "Nav" wrote in message ... It won't ride over them and stay dry they get 4m high. Chhers Capt. Neal® wrote: That's where you racers fail to appreciate a real cruising boat. Look at my bow. It does not bury and throw spray the length of the boat. It does not have that slack entry like race boats nor a hull design with no shear so the bow is no higher than the gunnels in the center of the yacht. I've seen race boats punching through waves. My fine blue water cruising yacht rides up and over the waves. CN "Nav" wrote in message ... Capt. Neal® wrote: ON A SPLIT BACKSTAY WAY DOWN ON THE COAMING? You must have an awfully poor design there. The only time I get salt water in the cockpit is running downwind in a gale. Upwind it's dry. Have you really never sailed to windward in a big sea -you know when the bow buries and spray flies everywhere? Cheers |
