Now Joe..... asking someone to an ocean race that has never left the
harbour.... is bad enough!

.... but when the boat you challenge is designed to require reefing in 10 kts
of wind.... well that's just plain low to taunt a pond skimming fin keeler
that way!

Race you across the Atlantic in winter for pink slips. New York to
London.

You would be out of the running just when RedCloud started streaching
her legs.

I would finish in comfort.... and you would be batter and bruised
beyond reconition.. if your boat did not fall apart and somehow made it
across.

Joe

Yeah she's red.... and rides like a cloud.

Joe

Well ****.... he said any race!.............Why bother with racing
around a cess pool like LIS? If your going to race on lakes use a 49er
or something fun. Not a daysailor like Bob is paying to store and truck
around the highways of the east coast.

And is about as solid.

Solid as steel.

Joe, few or none of us are racing to London. And I haven't seen you off
this group to even go for a daysail. We're coastal sailors and in most
conditions my boat will toast yours upwind and "semi planing" a lot
faster than 9 knots downwind. Let's be real. Do let us know when you
leave for London though!

RB
35s5...faster than Joe's cruiser for sure!

Quit back paddleing bubbles. RedCloud if she raced your daysailor
across the Atlantic no way in a million years could you keep up. BTW I
just got back from a week offshore. Sailed over 300 miles and spent 90%
of the time over 50 miles offshore.Just MsTerry Skipper and I, you
should try it some day. Might suprise you just how dark the sky is
offshore void of lubbers lights you can see every star. If I had to buy
the fish I now have in the freezer it would have cost me over 500
dollars. Now that the big shrimp are moving into the bay we will get
the net out of storage and have some profitable night sails in the
bays.

Joe
MSV RedCloud....More boat that bubbles could ever handle

Really and truly? I was just on the Moon with my wife and son. We
really had a good time, but it was cold.


RB
35s5...a real boat that will really sail!

Hardly likely that you'd beat a boat capable of surfing along at 13
knots plus. And in lighter air we always toast you. You'd need winds
strong enough to push you to hull speed that weren't strong enough to
send us planing or semi planing. True light air would also leave in our
wake.
Sorry, Joe. The physics aint on your side, but keep dreaming!

RB
35s5...a boat that is fast all of the time!
NY

Bubbles get out in 12 footers + with your thin skinned frenchy boat...
and you will throw up the white surrended flag faster than the typical
frenchman who dropped ciggarette ashes into your watered down resin.
