"Donal" wrote in message ... Ellen has just become the fastest person to sail around the world!!! I disagree. I would say more accurately that Little Ellen has become the latest criminal to sail around the world. She's no sailor or she would not knowingly violate Rule 5 of the COLREGS. In any other sport if a competitor broke the laws that governed his or her sport do you think they would be allowed to keep any record. Just imagine if an Olympic athlete failed his drug test. His record would be taken away. Just think if a NASCAR driver ignored the yellow flag and passed his way into first place under the yellow, he would be disqualified. Why is it all you fools rejoice when some little dyke violates the COLREGS. She has no record in my opinion unless and until she operates legally. CN |
Listen to Joe, you PUTZ! He's right and you're wrong. Read it and weep: Ellen MacArthur's record bid ends in disaster Updated 24 February 2003, 13.12 British sailor Ellen MacArthur has had to abandon her attempt to become the fastest person to sail around the world. She pulled out of the Jules Verne Challenge when the thirty-nine metre mast on her boat snapped into three pieces. It came crashing down onto one of the hulls of the Kingfisher 2 - making a hole in it. Luckily none of the 14-man crew was hurt. Before the mast broke Kingfisher 2 was on day 26 and almost a whole day ahead of the nearest competitor. Ellen had been trying to beat the current record of 64 days, eight hours, 37 minutes and 24 seconds set in 2002. "To watch all that work drift away was so painful", she said. Poor Donal - wrong again. CN "Donal" wrote in message ... Ellen has just become the fastest person to sail around the world!!! Regards Donal -- |

Jeff,
If you weren't such a first class idiot you would read the Rules and note that Rule 5 comes under the heading of Steering and Sailing Rules. What don't you understand about: Part B - Steering and Sailing Rules A vessel anchored or moored is not underway so neither is it steering nor is it sailing by defintion. 3(i) The word "underway" means a vessel is not at anchor, or made fast to the shore, or aground. I hope this helps. CN "Jeff Morris" wrote in message ... So are you claiming that you stay up all night maintaining a proper watch?

And poor Wally can't follow a thread. I realize the report of Ellen's failure
is a year old but what it does is give the record of the fastest person to sail around the world and it is NOT little Ellen like Donal claimed. Had he claimed little dyke Ellen is the fastest person to single-hand around the world he would have been correct but he didn't so he wasn't and neither are you, you little weenie!

Actually, we don't know how fast Ellen is, we only know how fast her
boat was for the last 71 days. Dodge Morgan sailed around the world slower, but he may be a faster person! Joe wrote: katysails wrote: A person is solo, dolt... Some people is more than one...

Wrong, Putz. There's nothing in the rule that says you only need to
keep watch while underway. Perhaps you're claiming that your boat does not qualify as a "vessel"? Capt.

Your wrong!
Whereas, the section of the Rules under which Rule 5 occurs is Section B which is Steering and Sailing Rules, And, whereas, any vessel that is anchored or made fast to the shore is not steering or sailing by definition. (look at the definition of 'under way' in the Rules) It follows, Rule five does not apply to anchored, docked, or moored vessels. Simple logic and irrefutable because of it.

Nice try Neal. You always try to win argument with with you call
"simple logic." The simple truth is that had they intended what you claim, they easily could have added that Section B applies to "Vessels underway," but they didn't. You must be aware that there are a number of cases where an anchored vessel was held liable for not maintaining a lookout. Capt. Neal® wrote: Your wrong!

Had he claimed little dyke Ellen is the fastest person to single-hand around the world he would have been correct but he didn't so he wasn't and neither are you, you little weenie! I'm pleased to see that you admit that Ellen is the fastest person to sail single-handed around the world. I suspect that the source of your irritation is that Americans have never achieved much in *real* sailing. You only do well in competitions where the skipper can sleep in a hotel room every night - backed by enormous quantities of sponsers' dollars! I'm not surprised that you consider yourself to be a real sailor.... when you only compare yourself with Joe and Jeff. I won't insult you by suggesting that you compare yourself with Max, Jon,BB or Bob. Regards Donal -- |

I believe she carried all stores onboard. Water was made with a
watermaker. She had a small single burner stove for heating water, not really for cooking. From the website: FOOD & WATER Ellen will take a variety of freeze-dried food for the duration of the record attempt - the freeze-dried food makes a big saving on weight to help keep B&Q as light as possible for the attempt. In addition, to the freeze-dried main meals, Ellen will take a selection of energy-boosting ‘grab’ snacks to supplement her energy intake. In total, Ellen will consume up to 5,000 calories per day which would be well in excess of twice her daily normal intake, to provide the necessary ‘fuel’ for her energy expenditure on this punishing voyage. Typical main meals: Organic Spuds w/Spinach & Cheese Organic Couscous & Lentil Curry Organic Alfredo Pasta Spaghetti Bolognaise Vegetable Curry Chicken and Cashew Nuts Snack list: 20 x fruit snacks 15 x dried fruit 18 x nut mix 40 x packet of crisps 72 x muesli bars 12 x packets of crackers/ oatcakes 14 x cheese minis 6 x packets of cheese slices 6 x bag of sweets 24 x Werthers tubes 60 x chocolate bars 20 x sesame snap bars 11 x packets of chewing gum Scott Vernon wrote: Did she depart with all stores for the whole trip?
