Sad Sailors of ASA
The jealousy is here is really sad. Of course we have those who are pretty obvious about: Doug, Ellen-Neal, Ganzy and so on. I have no idea why they post what they post. But here are the facts for the sea trial. 1) Sea trial is a short sail as part of survey. Engine is run and systems checked underway. My job is to both power and sail the boat for the surveyor and new owners. The boat is now SOLD. 2) Wind conditions were between 12 and 16 knots with stronger winds near Big Tom at City Island. Gusts are common there, just as they are between Hart Island and Manhasset at times. 3) I had no trouble trimming the sails. Ganzy must know some pretty awful instructors. The H43 is big & heavy and her sail-plan is easily managed. As Thom noted, the boat is in the groove. I've sailed this EXACT model in 20 knots steady brought back from Coney's and she was easy to handle then as well. 4) I had this boat available for sale over the winter and the website is now coming down. I have removed it from Yachtworld and our broker page. 5) Yes, I was out sailing yesterday while you were posting. I was also out sailing all afternoon on a J29 today and will probably be sailing Heart of Gold tomorrow evening. So, so, so VERY sorry this all upsets you so! But why? Get over it. I sail while the rest of you post on ASA. And when I do post here it's with actual photos of sailing on my boat and others. Poor sods actually wimper about someone elses opinion I don't own, wind conditions not reflected by sea state and worse! Aren't you all even the least bit ashamed? Most of you are pretty pathetic....seriously so! And those are the facts. And....BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! RB 35s5 NY |

posting.
Where did you go? We went out to test my buddy's new UK sails. Pretty pricey, but nice. I'm not rich enough for those babies....getting a pretty good main and genoa with the stackpack from Doyle. *ALL* afternoon? WoW! Yeah, all afternoon on a J29 isn't the most comfortable sailing, but it was fun! Where are you going? Sailing. Don't you ever go sailing? It doesn't. Hoist the sails and it might. RB 35s5 NY |

DAYSailing. Don't you ever go DAYsailing? No, I go cruising. I'm taking Heart of Gold to Port Jeff in two weeks for a funeral sail. I'll bring her over on my own, then meet Suzanne and other mourners at a private dock. I'll spend a couple of days aboard on my own. Does that count? I like daysailing. Sorry that bothers you.

I put 275 miles on my bike last week in the Rocky Mountains. Golly! That's nice. I played darts today. I hope to be swimming several miles a week this winter. Yowzers! That's nice. I did really well in the darts game. How thick are the callouses on your butt? The darts would go right through. RB 35s5 NY |

. .. "Capt. Rob" wrote in message ups.com... The jealousy is here is really sad. Of course we have those who are pretty obvious about: Doug, Ellen-Neal, Ganzy and so on. I have no idea why they post what they post. But here are the facts for the sea trial. It seems to me that none of the people mentioned here are at all jealous. Rob, however, consistently comment about his "superiority" and his expensive toys. I find that truly sad and boring, thus I won't read his posts unless they're reposted. If you really think he's entertaining, feel free to read and respond to him, of course, but I won't read them directly. 1) Sea trial is a short sail as part of survey. Engine is run and systems checked underway. My job is to both power and sail the boat for the surveyor and new owners. The boat is now SOLD. That's not what a sea trial is. A typical sea trial is sometimes part of the survey, usually adding to the cost of the survey. More typically, it's after a deposit is given and before the survey. The purpose of the sea trial is to confirm that the new owner likes the way the boat sails in a variety of conditions, including how the boat handles under engine. Typically, the buyer is at the helm with the broker and perhaps the owner along. Some systems are checked, but many of those are more easily checked at the dock, obvious expections noted. The typical inland (or near) sea trial should last a couple of hours, depending upon what is agreed. I know of sea trials that would take most of a day, for example, if the boat is intended for offshore sailing. 2) Wind conditions were between 12 and 16 knots with stronger winds near Big Tom at City Island. Gusts are common there, just as they are between Hart Island and Manhasset at times. Who know and who cares. Maybe that's where the trial was, maybe it wasn't. But, calling a good breeze 10 kts is, out here, a light air day. 3) I had no trouble trimming the sails. Ganzy must know some pretty awful instructors. The H43 is big & heavy and her sail-plan is easily managed. As Thom noted, the boat is in the groove. I've sailed this EXACT model in 20 knots steady brought back from Coney's and she was easy to handle then as well. Trimming the sails? What does that have to do with anything? You don't need to be muscle-bound to trim sails. We rarely use a winch handle in 25kts wind with gusts much higher. It's all about timing. Even trimming under heavy air isn't much of an issue without a handle if you know what you're doing. Use the helm to help by heading up briefly after a tack if you must. Perhaps you would use a handle while jibing in heavy air, but on the Yamaha 30 that I teach on and certainly on my boat it isn't necessary. We didn't need handles on the H42 that we had out the Gate in the 15+ kts winds either. Rob must think I really care about his opinion of fellow instructors, so I won't bother to comment. 4) I had this boat available for sale over the winter and the website is now coming down. I have removed it from Yachtworld and our broker page. This must be intended to impress someone. 5) Yes, I was out sailing yesterday while you were posting. I was also out sailing all afternoon on a J29 today and will probably be sailing Heart of Gold tomorrow evening. All afternoon? Big deal. |
