Default Sailing on a Wing and a Prayer....


Thats a 135 ft 4,400 HP 28Kt 3 million dollar boat bubbles


Wow! Did I mention that I drove an F40 a few years ago? Does that make
me a better sailor? What exactly does your experience with those craft
have to do with sailing?
At least we can begin to understand why you bought what you bought. But
no one can fathom how you thought your boat had a 13 knot hull speed.
What's your WL, Joe? Hmmmmm?

I thought we were talking about the defination of Capt.

However to address your re- direction.

Large light craft have great windage, learning to deal with windage and
infact using it to your advantage in crucial in mastering sea going
vessels and tows.

Imagine running down the ICW a 400 ft wide ditch.... pushing a 300 ft
barge drawing only 6" with 13 ft of freeboard sticking above the water
with a single screw 350 HP lugger tug. And the wind at 25+ knots dead
on the beam. If you do not no how to sail, you get blown down ie: go
no-where except the downwind bank and wait for the wind to stop(once
you get blown down, with a big empty no tug has the leverage to get it
back up.

Now if you can sail, it get's you all excited and makes you giddy( the
way you get sailing now) it's a rush, you flat out haul ass. The fun
part is when you meet a guy coming the other way, doing the same thing.
It all has to do with dealing with mastering the skills needed for
others to call you Captain.


At least we can begin to understand why you bought what you bought. But
no one can fathom how you thought your boat had a 13 knot hull speed.


Bubble's.... I have a 120 HP main and a GPS. I know my hull speed.

What's your WL, Joe? I mean...your motorsailor is even faster than a
Bruce Roberts 65 Pilothouse. We'd all like to know how....
I'd also like to know if your boat has a 13 knot hull speed, why it
only does 9 knots in 30 knots of wind!

I'm glad you asked.

I dimpled my hull with a ball peen hammer, I did this to make it like
a golf ball (same tech Lexus uses on the underside of cars) causing
micro eddies that make my hull superfast and super slick.

How do you do a steady 10.5 knot when the published hull speed for the
35s5 is 7.2 kts?

Wow, what a pile of lies. Dimpling a hull does not effect the formula
for theoretical hullspeed. Plus you already claimed you do 9 knots in
30 knots of air, and SURGED to 13, remember. Caught in a web of lies,
Joe can't squirm free now.
And you can't even get my boat right...such a mess for you and all your
stories...Hull speed is 7.98. Someone needs to buy you a calculator
along with a few sailing books. It's becoming more and more clear why
you own a motorsailor.

I know.......... you were busted again.

Instead of learning all you know from old sailing books, you shoud get
out and try real sailing.

doctor before attempting.
