Default Joe's Miles Until He Sleeps....


..... Or about twice as many miles as you manage.

Let's imagine that you go sailing **every** day from May to
September.


Donal, is that the NEW math?
It really wouldn't matter if we sailed on a pond. We still sailed (for
example) our C&C 32 an average of 3 days per week. Most of the daysails
lasted 5 hours. So let's be conservative at say that we sailed under
100 miles per week. That would still come out to more than 2000 miles
in a single summer if we never cruised at all...which we did.
Joe took seven years for that.
Now, Joe has a big heavy steel motorsailor, but according to him it's
much faster than your 33.7 or my 35s5, so there's no reason for it to
be sitting at the dock.

Still waiting for Joe's response on this. 2K miles in 7 years. Doesn't
seem possible to sail so little.

What does all that powerboat stuff have to do with a SAILBOAT that's
rarely sailed, Joe? So I guess it's true then.
You should sell Redcloud and buy a boat that suits the way you sail,
such as a Cape Dory Typhoon or Rhodes 19.

Listen cabin boy.

I can pick when and where I sail, I do not need a weekend warrior like
you suggesting anything. You know nothing about the sea, or the real
men who sail it.

Just let us know when you're leaving. So far your poor Redcloud has
spent most of it's life on the dock.
