Your yellow excuse for a poor performing, coastal cruising, tender, fin
keeled, jury rigged, dory of a small boat couldn't hope to catch my fine
vessel on the best day.

In under 4 kts. of wind and on dead-flat water he might be able to give you
a little competition. Anything beyond that would put him out of your
line-of-sight astern.
Over 20kts. he'd never see you beyond the first half hour.

If you ever got a chance to sail a nice, fast and manageable boat
such as my fine, blue water Coronado 27 that has an excellent
turn of speed as well as supperb maneuverability and seakeeping,
you would change your tune in a New York minute.

Let's take a vote:

Who would rather have Mooron's 30' crab crusher? ____

Who would rather have Neal's fine, blue water Coronado 27? ____

I thought so.

Max

I would prefer the one that is appropriate to where I intend to sail it.

Hmmm, decisions, decisions...oh wait, you were talking about sailboats,
weren't you? ;-)

You should know the Rules so the next time you are solo
sailing, drunk and passed out, you can put the "Red over Red
Captain is Dead" lights up while you sleep it your drunken
binge.

This is so everyone else can steer well clear, or else sneak
aboard and tie your shoe laces together. grin

What are "the COLREGS" ??????

For a liveaboard you seem awfully anal & uptight

You guys and your petty little discussions regarding a set of rules that
in your cases is not enforceable, carries almost no weight in court and is
subject to wide interpretation... well it's so darn amusing!

Here's a friggin hint..... It's a big ocean and you're on a very little
boat.... stay the **** out of the way of everything bigger and faster.
Leave the rules to the racers, professionals and their vessels.

Do you really think I give a **** about who is to windward and who is
burdened if I'm being overtaken?? Nothing is more comical and dangerous
than a sailboat assuming right of way over a larger commercial vessel. If
it's another sailboat I'll give all the room I can.... If it's a bigger
boat or power vessel I'll provide as much room as they need. I cruise....
I'm never in a rush... even the odd time I race.

Plus my vessel is armed to the teeth with water balloon launchers..... I
got one that has a 200 yard range!! Imagine the havoc a gas filled balloon
and a flare gun could create! :-)

There was actually a case where a ship claimed rights as a RAM because
the crew had the flu. They were held liable for the ensuing incident.

ROFLMAO Did you get the name of the lawyer? I may want him/her on
retainer for vivid imagination sake.

Half of all sailing errors are a direct result of people panicking.
Most try to remember the "rules" and forget to use common sense.
Then you must remember that the guy facing you may not have any clue.
It is disappointing that most people these days don't take the time to lean
the basics.
