It seems that a few folks have heard of semi-planing sailboats!

From the Volvo site:
http://www.torresen.com/sailing/cont...ves/003521.php
Volvo Introduces Five Sailboat Engines - August 08, 2005
With eight engines ranging from 12 to 180 hp, Volvo Penta now has the
market's most modern and complete engine range for displacement boats
and semi-planing boats.

And PLEASE read The Nature of Boats, Loco. You might learn a thing or
two about sailing and semi planing disp. hull design.

You've exposed more times than Scotty Potty's wang at the All-Gay Expo!

Ah, Bob - They're talking about powerboats there, not sailboats.

Almost every reference to "semi-planing" is for powerboats, not
sailboats. Its becoming clear: what you like about your bendy is that
it handles like a powerboat!

This is not to say keel sailboats don't on occasion "semi-plane" but
there are only a few (like the 60's) that can sustain that for any
significant period.

Ah, NO there not. Read it again. It's for the realease of 5 NEW
SAILBOAT engines. And while you're right that semi-plane is more
commonly used for powerboats, it's used on occasion for sailboats. I've
heard it and it's online of course. Loco said it's NEVER used and he
certainly NEVER heard it. The term exists. Period.

Nope. Read it again. They never actually refer to semi-planing
sailboats. The do say they can be used in sailboats. And they say
the have a complete range of engines for different types of boats
including semi-planing. But they don't mention semi-planing
sailboats. And you could also look on the Volvo site - I doubt
you'll find a single reference to semi-planing sailboats.

This is just the latest in a long, long list of cases where you claim
to be authoritative, but in fact you're just making things up!

somebody thought. Don't try explaining anything to the Boobster. He

while close reaching I was wondering if we were semi planeing.

Uh, you're asking if I'm sure what I recall? Neal tells us that that

this is easier for Neal than most of us.

But yes, I think I believe that I don't recall Donal talking about
semi-planing recently. I do recall you claiming the Volvo talked
about semi-planing sailboats, which is bogus.

Jeff, here's what Donal wrote and you can view it the "downwind

What the hell is "semi-plane" Never heard that term before. Is that

when you think your going fast enough to almost plane? Truth is: you
either own a sport boat or a displacement boat.

He NEVER heard that term before...so I guess it doesn't exist!!!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAA! You hitched your wagon to Donal's braindead star and

Sorry Boobie, I never made any comment about Donal or Loco at all. I,
in fact, pointed out right away the "semi-planed" was a powerboat term.

All I did was claim the you misread the Volvo press release, which
indeed you did. Once again you've shown yourself to be a complete
jackass.

And "rngmstr" may be a puppet of Donal, but it seems odd that while
Donal almost always posts in the hours just before 8 pm EST, rgnmstr
frequently posted towards midnight EST. Has Donal turned become an
insomniac who posts as rngmstr at 0500z?

Misspelling a word is a typo. Confusing the name 4 times, even after
it had been pointed out is a blunder. Much like misreading the Volvo
PR and insisting you're right after it has been pointed out is a
blunder. Much like claiming the bendy is "comfortable for cruising"
or "richly appointed" is a blunder.

You sound more like a marketing brochure than an experienced cruiser.
You have one berth, that because its measured diagonally, is 7 feet
on one side. And you can't roll over without whacking the overhead.
Are you claiming that the V counts as a 7 footer? You brag about A/C
without considering that it has terrible ventilation. A tiny galley,
a small fridge behind the stove. No counter space at all, unless you
cover the sink. The head isn't small, but it doesn't have a shower.
My old 30 footer even had a separate shower. BTW, is there any
ventilation in the head?

But that's OK, Bob. Since you never actually cruise, you'll never
miss these things. It pretty obvious every time you brag about the
A/C that what you really wanted was a nice place at the dock to hang
out and watch the real sailors.

Quite a bit of truth in that, John. The nicest, most expensive boats in our
marina aren't owned by *sailors*, rather by those who consistently invite
lubbers to join them for a weekend of lounging, burning dead animals on the
grill, drinking, soaking up sun, and on rare occasions a brief daysail.
They won't untie the boat unless the wind is less than 10kts. and the sun is
shining in a cloudless sky. The real sailors typically own lesser craft,
but use them faithfully and frequently. They relish 20kts. and often are
accompanied by other *real* sailors. I've also noted that once one acquires
a boat with AC, they don't even spend much time on the dock. Don't even get
me started on cable TV.

I can understand why they sail often . . .

If my boat was anywhere's near where you store (notice I said 'store'

than to distance myself from all your bullship.

That's typical. Those folks bought the wrong boat. They should
have admitted to themselves they are not sailors and bought a
trawler instead - like DSK did.

As a general rule, I have noted, over the years, that as the sailboat
gets larger the use of it for sailing gets smaller. Many Americans
need to reconsider their idea of "the bigger the better" and opt for
a sailboat of a sensible size for their abilities.

The same goes for their homes - Americans live in houses that
are becoming obscene with respect to square footage of floor
space. These displays of greed gobble up resources the likes of
which the world has never seen before. Far better to live in a boat
or a single-wide (or double-wide like you do, Scotty), than a huge
house that discomforts the owner and hogs resources badly needed
by the burgeoning population of more sensible folks.

Wrong! Bobsprit is a clever puppet-master. You and many others
dance energetically on the end of his strings . . .

That's typical. Those folks bought the wrong boat. They should
have admitted to themselves they are not sailors and bought a
trawler instead - like DSK did.

I'd bet they'd never leave the dock then. Cost of fuel is a
popular excuse nowadays.



The same goes for their homes - Americans live in houses that
are becoming obscene with respect to square footage of floor
space. These displays of greed gobble up resources the likes of
which the world has never seen before. Far better to live in a
boat
or a single-wide (or double-wide like you do, Scotty),


We're working on a triple wide this year. Grafting a single on to
our double.

Quite a bit of truth in that, John. The nicest, most expensive boats
in our
marina aren't owned by *sailors*, rather by those who consistently
invite
lubbers to join them for a weekend of lounging


That's sad. The nicest boats by us sail often. But if someone wants to
lounge and that makes them happy, I say good for them! It's their boat,
money and time. Maybe you should worry about your own boat when you get
one!

I have a lovely 34' boat, Bubbles. Would you like a photo? Be glad to
email ya one, virus free even.
