Remove the hook from your cheek and then you'll understand.

Down in this neck of the sea... we refer to Bobsprit's condition as "Gut
Jigged".... horribly messy and the usually critical.

Yeah. You're gonna need a really long hemostat to get that sucker out.

Or just grab the line and rip!

I see. So you DO understand that the Nordica 30 is a poor boat with
many problems, as shown my Mooron's site. That's what I thought.

Not at all. It's a fine yacht-quality vessel, capable of leaping tall
buildings at a single bound, going faster than a locomotive . . .

Yup! It's like he BEGS to have his boat dragged through the mud! The
poor things low quality is documented! Who buys a boat with common low
quality interior work? Mooron. And now a quote from my survey....

"The 35s5 interior was found to be well maintained and of a high level
of fit and finish."

Man I hate those things. Talked to a couple of people who have them, and
they like them in light air only.

I hate the ones that furl into the mast. They eliminate the ability to use
battens (yeah, I know that someone--North, maybe--is putting vertical
battens in their furling mains now), they eliminate the ability to carry a
significant roach, thanks to no battens, and since there are only two
bearing points--top and bottom--to carry the load of the sail, one or both
are going to fail eventually. And when they do you can count on it
occurring when you are least likely to be able to deal with it, such as well
offshore, or during the approach of a squall. Then you're screwed, blued,
and tattooed.

I like some of the furling booms, however. You can still lower the main if
you have a bearing failure, and the other limitations of furling mains are
eliminated.


I was on a delivery crew for a pilot house ketch that had in mast
furling on both masts. I did not like it. It was fairly new, yet had
a tendency to bind on occasion. And we only used it in relatively
good conditions.

I also owned a boat that had a rolling boom furl. The sail wraps
around the boom. Hated that too, ended up never using it.


My point was that if Bubbles had a furling main, then he'd negate the need
for sail covers entirely. A more attractive arrangement for a dockside
condo.

Excellent point. If the boat never leaves the dock and the furling
is only used in good weather and never in a crisis situation where
execution speed is a factor, it is a good choice.

Ultimately, yes.
