Give me a head's up as to when you plan on passing by Jeff..... It would be
great to meet up with you. Sydney wouldn't be my first pick of haul-outs....
try the Bras'Or Lakes.

BTW - it's Cape Breton Island... and seriously take in the Highlands
National Park and Cabot Trail.

A friend returned from wintering in Newfoundland (!) and got me thinking:
If we sailed around Nova Scotia one summer we could leave the boat around
Cape Brenton or maybe in Sydney for the winter. The next year we could
hop over to Newfoundland for a summer, and them return to Sydney. The
third summer perhaps go up the St. Lawrence and through Lake Champlain to
return. How's that sound for a plan?

And you call 4 knots in an 8 knots breeze fast? I can probably do
that!


No, you can't. And you did not consider sea state.
When will make even one post without exposing how little you know?
If you knew boats, you'd know the difference between Bendy-Toys and the
First series racer/cruisers which are quite different. The Oceanus
series are much like the Catalinas and Hunters, though they're fine for
some folks. On the other hand there's a 51 at my club that was sailed
half way around the world. I guess you just don't meet the kind of
sailors I do anymore than you sail real sailboats, Jeff.
Sorry, you don't like my boat.

Yeah on the LIS a light air boat may do the trick... but up here in Nova
Scotia... you'd be on your ear all the time.

And here on the LIS light air is what it's all about. We sailed the
35s5 in less than 8 knots and made better than 4. Owners of the 35s5
love the light air ability and just about all aspects of it's
performance. Your boat might hit some big numbers off the wind, but
it's still a sea-truck for old folks. Most people who actually like to
sail wouldn't think of owning one anymore than they'd own a trawler.

35s5...a better boat than yours

Rather impressive given that fewer than 100 were
built. They don't stay in one corner of a pond where there's no
wind.


Why are you impressed by this? Some of the best sailors only race
locally. Who cares if they don't sail far? Now that I have a boat you
all envy all you can do is **** and moan about how I'll use it. If I
take a long trip aboard her you'll **** and moan about sail trim. It's
all rather sad. Face facts. You've all been eclipsed. After this boat
we're buying a liveaboard and we'll say goodbye to your weekend warrior
life styles. And we'll have done it many years before you!
You'll live out your lives with part time dreams...and that's truly
sad. The bitterness and frustration in your posts makes all so very
clear. Only Ozzy and Mooron seem to have a grasp.
Jeff, you're oh, such a tool! And you don't even know it!

Is it better to put in or pull out in Dildo?

Dildo is in Newfoundland .... I don't know much about that province. Only
been there twice.

The Hunter 19 could, and did many times.

For that matter, we've sailed a Whitby 42 with in-mast furling on both
main & mizzen got up to 3+ in a 7 ~ 8 knot wind, although it took a lot
of coaxing.

No, you can't. And you did not consider sea state.

I confess I never accurately measured our performance in 8 knots - if
we're doing under 5 knots we're likely to fire up the engine.
However, I recall a trip to Marblehead in 10 to 12 knots of wind,
where we did 5 to 6 knots, somewhat faster than I expected. What made
it memorable is that we passed a Catalina 42 to leeward - close enough
to have a conversation as we edged by.

So, are you claiming you're the only jackass who owns a bendy-toy?

Nuff said. Jeff, you're in another world, basically a powerboating one.
I can't believe anyone would post such a thing, especially here.
