OK..Hoping for a bit of expert advice.
A few questions:

1. Will you point higher if you move your Jib forward by installing a
bowspirt?

2. Can you point higher if you un-rake your mast a bit?

No, but you would probably point higher if you un-stepped your mast.

On a power boat, such as yours, the sails impede your progress to wind.


Any tuning suggestion to get your boat to point higher?


Get a proper sail boat!!!

Dead right, Joe!!

One of those boats need wind, and one of them doesn't! I know which one
that I would prefer to sail!

I know which one you could handle somewhat safely

Did you do like the other Bent-a-toe sailor and buy a quality Kia too?

You are beginning to sound like Bobsprit!

Bobspirt is buying like you....Birds of a feather


Can't you come up with your own
insults?

Cant you get thoses floor boards to stay down?


Bennie's...the Kia of Sailboats

I can adjust the rake of my mast. Tell us again where your backstays are
attached to your mast!!!

You can see them all yourself for the main mast...need a mizzen shot?


Your boat wasn't designed to sail.

True..It's a motor sailor, made for motor sailing. Did you use your
Royal yachtmaster skills to physically derive that knowledge?

Man you're soundling just like Bobspittle....

BTW RedCloud will out sail your french bleach bottle and my floorboards
are solid as steel....in anything but light air.

Tally Ho...Pip pip and all that,

Joe
