So....... do you have a sailboat Gary?

It's a simple question.

Are you still in the Navy? You guys still have a Navy right?

Seems you know a bit about Navigating without a GPS unlike most.
You a QM?

Gary, that idea of a boat "coming apart" shows how little experience
you have. Even the lowest end boats will hold together just fine. The
35s5 has circumnavigated as a stock boat.

a real cruising vessel is set up right and
pretty much take care or herself. Unless you have a tough well tested
crew of 3 I would not want to make an ocean passage on a 35s5.


And yet the Beneteau users groups are filled with owners who use their
boats for long passages, Joe. I know a fellow who's made long passages
on a little Bristol 27 and another who does it on a dirt cheap US
yachts 30. They love it and don't feel abused by their boats.
Joe, you're sounding more and more like a panzy-ass sailor. The 35s5
has circumnavgated on a family trip.

You are trying very hard. I'll bite.

I get 5000+ miles a year under sail for the last 4 years and I have been
sailing since I could walk. I have about 15 years of seatime under
power in various ships/jobs ranging from BWK to Captain. I have a
little experience. Yesterday I brought my 102' ketch 79 miles through
30+ knot winds and a snow storm home from Nanaimo to Esquimalt. (under
power) No sails were bent on because she was in a work period. What did
you do?

It is our down time now so I have time to play with wanna be's like you
who spend most of your time in front of a computer living vicariously
through guys like me.

My sailing accomplishments are a matter of public record, Google me.

Who are you?

Hey Id love to do an ocean crossing single handed on a 60 ft sled, but
why do it for 7.4 knots?
20+knots Yeah Baby...worth the effort, 7.4......... might as well row.

So could you please tell us a bit more about your saiboat?

Do you have a picture?
From other postings here it seems it's a large as a Canada Air Craft
carrier.

Not the Nav now?
Seems your a lifer.... have you made the rank of Capt. yet?
Are you serving aboard a ship?

BTW what ship were you on when you tied outboard the Fat Sam?
