No, because I've seen people drop them in the water. It shouldn't be used
for that anyway. It's not designed for that kind of weight.

Neither is Katy's girdle but it manages . . .

A wombat?? Hahahaa... You know what you get when you cross Mooron with a
fender?

A fender.

Tell me Scooter, Why do you think they're called a 'fender'

Hint...they aren't a musical instrument.

I heard if you beat an Aussie with a fender... it sounds like a lot like a
Wombat!

I also heard that if you beat Jon with a Fender... he sounds like a little
girl crying!

Ahhh, the wombat.
Any animal that ****s cubes is something to be very wary of.



Oz1...of the 3 twins.

I welcome you to crackerbox palace,We've been expecting you.

Dope head...we were "anchored" by a stern line to a piling....you cannot set
an anchor within the marina fairways....bigger duh...

Give it up, Katy. You giving any advice on sailing or motoring is
tantamount to the Pope giving advice on pedophile priests.
Katy, haven't you heard of using a stern anchor when proceeding
downwind into a slip or dock? Duh!

It's the situation....no place to go forward (unless you really want to
take out the dock...) The situation we were in was with the wind at the
stern at about 30 knots....without a line back to the dock to pivot the
stern as soon as you were abeam you'd just get blown right back...if you
throttled up you got too ,much forward motion and you'd end up pinned to
the backend of the fingerslips and everyone else's boats....

I don't know Scotty..... this "coldcorona"..... smells fishy to me.
:-)

Sailboats belong on a mooring!!

Anyway... anybody who rents a slip in an area they can't access
easily is
just plain stupid.

I can turn my Crab Crusher on a dime and it hates to back up.... fin
keelers
would have no problem in that situation

Inboard, outboard? Wheel, tiller? Singlehanded, crew? Is the
wind
*ALWAYS* from the same direction? Floating docks?

Practice backing out in the open. Learn to use your prop walk.
Watch
other boats and see what they do.

Question about a pivot turn, is it possible to turn around a 29'
sailboat in a 40' wide area?
The only space available at a nearby marina are side ties and I'm
worried about whether I can actually dock there.
Before starting the turn the wind is at the stern. On the port
side
is
the marina wall and on the other is the dock. I don't think
there's
much if any current affecting the slip.

The other option is docking with the stern to the wind and when
leaving
backing up for 90 feet.
There are boats in front and behind this slip.

Thanks.

Committee chatter? What committee? Mr Sails and myself hardly form a
committee.....and we used two warp lines to accomplish what you're claoming
to do with lines, sails, and anchor.....less is best....

"Capt. Neal®" wrote in message

Motoring by committed. Bwaaaaaahahhahahahhahahahhahhahah!

How dumb and inept are you? I singlehand and I can do any
maneuver under sail and using anchors and warps and I can
accomplish it professionally without all the stupid committee
chatter you motorboaters use to the disgust of all real sailors.

You are pathetic.

"katysails" posted the following crap:

We had to do that twice this past year at the yacht club when the winds
wouldn't allow us to back out the fairway (we were on the dock
perpendicular to the slips...) we're 31 actual feet ...rigged the line
from the away side of the bow to the stern and around a post so Mr sails
could keep the bow in place from his position at the wheel and kept the
away stern tie on with a bit of slackI manned the bow with dock pole to
fend off pilings and sterns...we are deep keel fin and the boat will
pivot very nicely on it...was nerve-wracking the first time but managed
not to mutilate or dent anything...the second time went much better...

They still make girdles? My mom had one once....

Hey Mooron, how many fenders can you hold while docking?

Do you have enough fenders to give each crew member at least two?
