RedCloud if she raced your daysailor
across the Atlantic no way in a million years could you keep up.

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!

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

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.

I think you're right about Boobsie- but then he never claimed he wanted
to actually sail in the real ocean.

You're wrong about the boat though. If decently equipped and competently
sailed, could turn in some pretty good times on passages. The Hunter I
delivered this spring from Florida made a 240+ mile day in relatively
tough conditions.

Mooron doesn't agree. He keeps insisting that his full keeler is the
only way to go.

Goes without saying Bob..... plus my boat has classic lines and doesn't
look like just another "car in the parking lot" like the C&C does.

Let's face it.... there is nothing of note in design nor lines on the
C&C.... From stem to stern it has the character of a margarine
container..... and I don't care how much fancy veneer you put inside that
container.

Now I'm not saying it's a bad vessel... it's not. It seems to suit the type
of sailing you do, you seem to like it..... and that's all that counts.

Now as far as taking that plastic offshore like Doug .... don't think about
it... Doug has wa-a-a-a-a-y-y-y-y-y more experience sailing than you do.

Now to give you perspective... my buddy sailed a 29 Bayfield across the
Atlantic. He ran into a 50+kt gale before making landfall in the Azores.
Although he weathered the storm without too much problems... 2 French
vessels of over 35 ft suffered serious damage and one was dismasted.

Oh, I dunno. The fancy veneer does make it look nicer, but it doesn't
change the nature of the boat.

Yeah, but that's not enough for Boobsie. He has to try to get other
people's attention, to compensate for the fact that his mother didn't
love him when he was little.

Boobsie will never go anywhere off the edge of his Texaco road map. Not
a problem for him.

50 knots is a tough wind, but it is the sea state that really damages
boats & crew IMHO. Was the dismasted boat rolled?

Only on the inside.....

Probably explains his need to breast feed.

If he ever does..... we'll hear about it to no end.

Apparently not a complete 360..... but it was trashed pretty good. The
thing is that the Bayfield 29 weathered it without a hitch and made good
way.
