Yaeh he can paint a sloop, but have you seen his self portrait?

It is not *my* criterion. It is the intent and letter of Rule 5
of the COLREGS.

They look like end plates in the photo - what little of them
I can see. At any rate a teardrop bulb shape is much more
efficient than the hack job Ole Thom did to the bottom
of his keel.

Your logic and reasoning leaves a lot to be desired, but . . .

Nonsense. Your criteria for 'maintaining a watch at all times' is not
humanly possible - it requires 360 degree vision and eyes that don't blink.
If you are willing to admit less of a watch than this, then the difference
is one of degrees, which lays open the question of: to what degree is less
of a watch acceptable?


I'll say one good thing about you, Wally. You know the right
color to paint a sloop.

That's the original gelcoat.


Did you have Ole Thom design those end plates on the keel?

There are no end plates on the keel, it has an elongated, teardrop-shaped
bulb at the bottom.

Which states that the watch that is kept at all times is sufficient "to make
a full appraisal of the situation and of the risk of collision". Where does
it say that the only way to make a full appraisal of the situation is stand
in the cockpit, spinning around, with one's eyes out of stalks?

Looks like a Dufour Arpege keel. Good design!

I've felt like that.

That's how all you liberals feel after tangling with a conservative
like me who knows how to debunk you . . .

The few here who execute it with any grace are Captain Neal,
Simple Simon and to a lesser degree, Joe.

I thought that you were serious until you mentioned Joe!

Joe is not a real sailor ..... he races around at 35Kts in FOG

Of course I am correct with respect to Rule 5 and little Ellen
being in violation of it for a period of time exceeding three
months.

Neal,

Are you saying that you have never sailed more than 16 hours single handed?

I'm truly dissappointed. I was under the impression that you were an
accomplished single handed sailor.

If you're not an experienced single-handed sailor, then what are you?
