You're repeating yourself


...And kids, don't be

Should one teach kids that boats (or whatever) have been
made especially safe for them, so they never learn use
proper care & intelligence when on a boat (or whereever)?

A traveler mounted on the coach roof is a common item, available from
many builders. I had one on the C&C 32 and it worked fine. The 73 year
old owner of the 35s5 had no problem adjusting the mainsheet in 25
knots of air and a clear cockpit is better for a family out for some
fun and short range cruising.
Really, Doug. You have no point.

Longer than the ones he's hawking on e-bay, I hope. After all, it
would be horrific to sleep w/out AC.

The bottom line is mid boom sheeting was invented to please women who
wanted the cockpit free of that nasty shin banging traveler so dockside
activities would be easier to perform. And that's that.

It was invented to clear the cockpit for all types of activities and is
safer for toddlers. I can see how such a thing would never be important
to you. Even with my RF headsail and mid-boom sheeting, the 35s5 is
still a far nicer boat than yours in EVERY way!

Boobie, you forgot to add Coranados to your list.

Dude, you own an ancient claptrap of a boat not a whole lot better than
a Coronado. Then again, most sailors have heard of Coronado. Don't you
think you should just slink away?

Boob****, Check out the new Swan that the NY Yacht Club has
commissioned. Da traveler is located in front of the wheel where it
should be. Where real sailors want it. Not their wives.

35s5..... bringing up the rear.

Sorry, Sloco, so many great boats are fitted with cabin top travelers,
you've been totally exposed. Again!
Tartan, Sabre, Swan....good god, man. You really screwed the pooch! And
to think you're in a tizzy because I own a nicer boat! And faster!

Exposed? I never said good boats didn't have coach roof travelers. I
believe I said boats that are to be seriously sailed didn't have coach
roof travelers. Boats that are intended to be seriously raced don't
have cabin top travelers. Boats that are to be seriously singlehanded
don't have cabin top travelers. Big Swans that are cruised by wealthy
nitwits with crews do have coach roof travelers. I would expect
Tartans and Sabres to have coach roof travelers.

35s5............. always bringing up the rear ........ of PHRF 'C'

Ahhh. Well there you have it then. As long as we're not sailing
"serious" we'll be fine.
Sloco, as a pinhead, you're seriously at the top of your game!
