As for the specifics of a given boat's gear, deck layout,
wiring, etc etc... you're right on, a sistership is useless
as a teaching platform.


Doug, quite honestly, you're a know nothing bag of farts. We are a full
service yard and work on many sailboats every season. Catalina,
Pearson, C&C, Rangers, Freedom's and all the rest come through and I
see plenty of them. While there are changes now and again, the vast
majority of production boats are VERY close right down to the wiring.
The 35s5 that I surveyed prior to buying Heart of Gold was IDENTICAL to
the one we puchased in every important way. If you can't get a SOLID
idea of a boat from a properly set up sistership, you're absolutely
retarded.
Such idiocy would astound me if it wasn't from Doug, the King of Keels!

And yet, in this same thread out of the right side of his mouth:

As for our van, the recall was not for our Sedona's serial #. Only some
vans were effected.

So, is your foot positioned in the middle of your mouth?

Yeah, those Pearson brake recalls REALLY effected sailing
performance!!! And my Sedona has totally different handling and
features from other 2006 Sedonas!!!
BWAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA! Gilly, you're another bag of farts who pretends
to sail!

Hooooh ahhhh!

Thank you.

It was Jonathan who said:

Every boat is different. Sailing a "sister ship" only gives one a fuzzy
picture of what another boat is like. Fine for general impressions, but
not
worth much instead of a sea trial.


It was Doug who said:

Agreed, but then it's also true that you can learn a lot
about how a boat sails... specifically, what techniques it
rewards and which ones it doesn't... sailing a sistership.

The vast majority of production boats are far from
one-design, details of hull construction (if not actual hull
shape) and rig vary tremendously over a production run.
Still, the basic proportions of hull, foils, rig, etc are so
close that the boats will behave pretty much the same. Then
again, to jump on a sisership with different sails &
different tuning might give you the impression that it's a
completely different boat.

wiring, etc etc... you're right on, a sistership is useless

I'm glad to see you agreeing with them. They both have lots of experience,
qualifications and awards for sailing. You will learn a lot from them in
during your long sailing apprenticeship.

BTW A Pearson sailboat does not have brakes. I can understand your
gullibility and all, but who ever told you that did you no favor. Other Kia
2006 Sedonas do have the potential for radically different handling and
performance. That's why they were recalled.

Hang in there Bob, you'll catch on. Eventually.

Ever hear of a SEA ANCHOR??? Ever use one??? BWAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!

Yep, mine is on 13 inch tires!!!


Oh, Gilly! You're soooo silly. But you're still a bag of farts just
like Doug who doesn't sail.

There is really a lot to admitre about you Rob. Just like the boy who hung
out at the newspaper loading docks who eventually got a route, went on to
become a reporter and then the owner of the paper, you hang out out the
marina, eager to run any errand, do any chore to get your start. With time
and perserverance you'll move up to wharfside laddie-boy and then when you
need less supervision you'll get to work the holding tank pumps or at least
hold the hose. Your youthful inexperience will soon transform to middle age
ineptitude.At that level you'll be performing tasks requiring minimal
supervision and maybe be given some tasks requiring use of your own limited
judgement. Stick to it Robbo, you can do it!

I have no awards that I can think of except for the self-awarded
ones. :-)

And by that he means that the ''beds'' were the same length
and the ''bathroom'' was big enough for his fat ass..
