I don't even eat that much food each year.

If you're over 50 you should get your rusthole checked regularly.

Joe, have you ever sailed more than 50 miles on one tack?

I've sailed 110 miles on one tack.... on a lake!

Seems to be a milestone with Ozone.....

I hear Doug King is going to convert his trawler to a
pump-out boat. Up to this point, when he's aboard, it
has been full of sh*t anyhow. He figures he might as
well make a living at it . . .

I like Al la min e um. There is a 52 ft center cockpit motor sailing
Ketck outside my aft cabin window that I would love to have. Center
cockpit 3 very roomy staterooms, huge lounge, galley, bilges you can
eat off. Catipillar main, 8kw super quiet Onan, The inside is kinda
ugly, but I could re-model. Thing is the want 325K for her. I will see
if I can find it on-line and post a link. Her hull is very close to
redclouds shape.

Why would you want another boat with an inefficient hull shape and
caved-in panels?

Molded GRP is the only way to build a seaworthy and fast hull.

What good is a little plot of land on a shallow lake?

It basically abanoned to the broker. Has been for a year or so.
And it's right out my office window. Thing is for the same money I can
get a perfect 3 acre plot of land with 400 ft of deepwater frontage.

The only time a synthetic light weight replacement is needed is in
short term high tec racing. But not were your life may depend on
reliability.


Little Ellen is not a sailor. She's just another stunt person - a female
Evil Kneevil - she gets paid to have more near disasters than safe
and sane sailing. She allows herself to be used for the sake of her
sponsors increasing their revenues. In other words, little Ellen is
a waterbourne whore. She gives sailing a bad name because she and her
organization eschew seamanship for publicity, near disaster and
sensationalism. Day in and day out she is operating illegally and
poses a threat to real sailors.

Can any of you little Ellen defenders answer this question?

How does little Ellen comply with the following COLREG rule?

Rule 5
Look-out
Every vessel shall at all times maintain a proper look-out by
sight as well as by hearing as well as by all available means
appropriate in the prevailing circumstances and conditions
so as to make a full appraisal of the situation and of the risk
of collision.

Not only is little Ellen a danger to herself and the good name
of sailing but she is a danger to others because she is breaking
the law.

Bobsprit eats ten times that much food each year . . .

Big deal. I sailed over 1000 miles on one tack... SF to Cabo.
