An experienced sailor would have hung a cylindrical boat bumper



Golly! And I thought that anchoring on the correct side to begin with
would have been the more experienced thing to do!

Don't worry, in time you'll reach that level. Baby steps first...

You've got it backwards, Gilly. Implementing gear is the final level.
Proper anchoring is simple. I was just too tired and hadn't encountered
the "slapping" before.
Keep us posted on your backwards hiarchy of anchoring technique!

Someone once said it was easier than operating a BBQ.

That's odd, I thought you regularly encountered a good slapping or two.

Just keep giving me the material and I'll do the best I can.



One last question, how do you know it was waves slapping against the swim
platform (waves travelling against the wind) and not just the boat slightly
rocking and creating slapping noise due to poor aft end design?

I think you are correct Gilly, We discussed this issue before and
bubbles said it would never be a problem, everyone loves the sound of
waves gently lapping the hull....right?

A decided hint of salt in your tea,
And a fishy taste in the very eggs -
By all means choose the SEA."

I think it was right after he delcared he would kill anyone caught
drinking aboard his vessel. How he was a former bounces and understands
the extreme danger involved in drinking and sailing. No excuses, no
way, iron clad rule he said, he did.

"One ship drives east, and another west
With the self-same winds that blow;
'Tis the set of the sails
And not the gales
That decides the way to go.

Like the winds of the sea are the ways of fate,
As they voyage along through life;
'Tis the will of the soul
That decides its goal,
And not the calm or the strife."

Because another boat was with us and our boat was moving less. Our
dinghy was moving more. A Catalina with a swim platform also "slaps."
As does my friends Tayana 48 at times.
Sorry, you failed again!

Nothing of the sort. I asked a simple question which you failed to answer.

The slap is not against the swim platform, it is against the overhang of the
hull. It is designed in, one of the tradeoffs for a fast hull design. Name
one fast hull that does not have this problem.

You need this:

It will keep you slap-happy.

I'd love to help you with the small cockpit but I haven't found a company
that makes cockpit enlargers yet.

That aft cabin will make a good storage locker.

Or you could just use one of Robs diapers.
