Katie,

My boat is wearing one right now. Not as good as the Custom but you can
walk in and walk out with one.

I have the large one and I do have it on with Lazy Jacks.

Not as pretty but works just fine.



Ole Thom,

Your mainsail cover looks like CRAP! It doesn't even cover the underside
of the sail/boom. You could do better wrapping it in that junk, blue-poly
tarp K-Mart sells. Sunlight reflected off the water is reducing that new,
inefficient, loose-footed sail of yours to an old, inefficient, rotten-footed
sail as we speak.

I guess you don't realize the dangers of sunlight reflected off the water????
Maybe it's because the sun rarely shines up there in the northwest?

Next time, try spending some money on a custom-made sail cover of Sunbrella
brand polyester like you see covering the fine, custom-made, Hong Kong Sailmakers
mainsail on my fine yacht.

For your viewing pleasure, Old Boy! http://captneal.homestead.com/Sheshines.html

Capt you are indeed correct about reflected sun. However dont you have
problems with such a lose fit cover rubbing and wearing away your
chinese sails. I would half hitch a line along your whole boom to snug
up the fit.

Also Sunbrella makes a nice Sunburst yellow color that would look way
better on your boat then that crappy blue you see on most boats.

To put it kindly as I can; YOU ARE FULL OF ****!

Please look at the picture of my boat in the water (Not up on Jacks.)

The one in the water is the new main with the new sail cover.

Cripes Neal you're as ignorant at reading as you are about Boom Repair
and Shelve Equip. Main operation

You better write another post and consider yourself in with the Lubbers
:^)

That would be Picture #7. I hope you can count to 7. That is all the
fingers on one hand plus 2 on the other'

Click on the address below and when the pictures show up scroll down
them one finger at a time. When all the fingers are used up on one hand
then scroll two more. That is 7. That is the picture of my boat, in the
water, with the WM sail cover on my new main, and the Lazy jacks. If you
can see any sail or boom ( MINE DOES"NT"T BEND IN THE MIDDLE) you also
need your eyes examined. Your eyes may be OK, just clouded with BS

Ole Thom,
P/S now do it and let me know if you did it correctly. I hope I don't
have to call for the "Short" bus to take you to some Post Grad work in
the "Special Ed" system

This is the picture I looked at and I still say your sail cover looks like crap!

Then I looked at this one and was even more horrified:

Don't try to tell me that sail cover keeps sun off the foot of your sail, Ole Thom,
it's a skinny, little joke of a mainsail cover.

Neal,

You cerantly proved my point. You can't read. I said not the one one
the "JACK"

I have a call in for the "Short Bus" for the Special Ed people. Listen
for the Beep, Beep of the horn. It will be for you.




http://community.webtv.net/tassail/ThomsPage

Neal,

You didn't have to go to all the trouble of digging out the Community2
page. The same picture is in the present HomePage.

Ahh Yes, now I see. It is picture #11. You ran out of fingers!! Sorry
old buddy. You need to take off your shoes. It is the picture after to
puppy. That's the picture where you ran out of fingers

Ole Thom
P/S hold the damn bus neal, I'm coming to for a little refresher on
spelling

By the way Neally,

The Boom covered and extending straight back and horizonal is fine for
picture taking. Any GOOD live aboard knows slung to the side and end
lowered is much better. More room to use the cockpit and less windage.

Just something to for "Show & Tell" in the Special Ed Class

Ole Thom
P/S not responsible for what the Yard does when it is in their hands. I
installed new main and cover when I got back to Slip. North took the old
main. Not sure what for? Remember I offered it to you and you said it
was to big for your rig
I guess they'll clean it and restitch it and sell to some other bargain
hunter.

Oh, Thom, you are wrong yet again. Every real cruising sailor knows
it is best to have the aft end of the boom a little higher than the forward
end. The reason being that in a rainstorm, the water does not all deluge off
then end into the cockpit. Anything but a centered boom is lubberly. I will
never have my boom set off to one side or the other.

The old sail of yours will probably be donated to a Mac26X owner's club
where it will be put on some old, crummy Mac26X and it will go faster
there than it ever did pushing that heavy old pilot house of yours around.
He hee! Poor ole Thom. He can't win when treating with me.

CN

Neal,

A covered Boom slung to the side lets the water drain outside the
cockpit bummy, with the end dowm it goes over the side thru the
scuppers.

I realize that half-ass Bimini not only prevents you from using your
jib winches properly but also prevents you from securing your "Broken
Boom" properly. you've got it set-up to drain unto your cabin top, over
your windows, down your deck along your rail until it finds a scupper.
That is where you have all those pretty coiled lines. Get a clue, man,
get a clue

Ole Thom
