My seamanship question #1
1. Bob could be sailing back to his slip while Mooron could
be just passing Stamford, but sailing much faster and on the same heading. No situation, as Bob never sails more than a mile from his slip and he'll be back , shackled in screening a movie before Mooron even gets close. 2. I'm sailing 180* at 6.4 kts,15 miles behind me, Katy is sailing 180* at 6.6 kts, she's catching me but there is no situation to be worried about. 3. Loco is 300 feet from the windward mark, Doug is 1/4 mile behind but catching up. Loco is not worried about the situation. SBV "Capt. JG" wrote in message ...

Except that Suzy has taken the helm again and is intent on ramming Mooron to plunder his beer supply. 2. I'm sailing 180* at 6.4 kts,15 miles behind me, Katy is sailing 180* at 6.6 kts, she's catching me but there is no situation to be worried about. Katysails would never collide with anybody, that's far too uncouth.... unless you made her mad. 3. Loco is 300 feet from the windward mark, Doug is 1/4 mile behind but catching up. Loco is not worried about the situation. He'd be worried if he realized that my PHRF-penalty custom torpedo-bulb keel is actually a real wire-guided torpedo. DSK |
