Yes - rarely but when someone had it coming.

You *are* a pansy, no wonder you can't cut it in the Corp.
world.


First - you're such a dickhead - and working for 13 years means I can't
cut it, huh? You're a genius aren't you? And there's is only one way to
climb the corporate ladder - you have to be a scumbag that ****s over
your co-workers - thaat's not for me, but I'm willing to bet that's
right up your alley. And since I work with people like you - I want to
get out so that I don't get infected with the same low integrity and
morality. But you wouldn't know anything about that - would you.

All that you're concerned is getting off on being a dick -0 and I'm
sure you're that way in person with people in your life. You need to
relax 'cause you aew way too uptight. Man - what happened - who hurt
you? Wife leave you or does it go back to your childhood. You're a
nightmare with some serious issues - and that at least makes me smile -
knowing that you're a mess - couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

It;s rude to use crude language in a public forum...also to make ad
hominem attacks...you have a rather duplistic set of values, Jim.
You set yourself up as a target and then "bang", revert to attack. A
nice person would either laugh off Scotty's attack, turn the other
cheek, or try to discover just what it was that set the other off. Now,
why don't we all just go back to discussing sailing. What other
questions do you have? Have you ever been sailing? On waht type of
boat? In what waters?

OK. This week a friend pointed out some things that helped
my boat to sail better. I had the jib leads too far forward
, and by heading up farther than I normally do, the boat
leveled off better. Don't know if my VMG was better or not,
but the ride was a lot smoother, with a lot less weather
helm.

Makes for a flatter sail...in more ways than one...I leave all the VMG
discussion to the guys stewing in their mathematical hazes...it's not
necessary for just sailing around...I like to tweak sails to get more
out of them and to get a higher point, but making sailing into a physics
or math problem just doesn't interest me...I'm sure that some would be
aghast at this but hey, I sail because I like to sail...it's more a
visceral thing for me than some problem to be solved. Got enough
problems to solve in real life without looking for them while sailing.

yes but, I 'm usually sailing to a destination, not just
daysailing, going nowhere for an hour .

Wherever Scotty is...that's nowhere.
In fact he was born there...and will die there.

We go places, too, and use dead reckoning, our charts, GPS, etc. Using
simple trig is good enough for me. We're never in that much of a hurry
that we go to those lengths...if we are trying to make a destination and
have a timeline, we use a simple rule...if our speed sailing goes below
4 knots, we turn on the Iron Jenny and either motor sail or run on
engie=ne alone depending on direction and seas...
I hear the gasps already...the reason is, though, taht when you have
limited time, you make use of whatever you have to ,ake that time
worthwhile. This summer we will be able to sail all summer without any
hindrances. Mr Sails doesn't have to take any classes and doesn't think
he's signing up to teach summer school...we'll get to explore a lot of
territory and have the time to do it.

That sounds nice! Are you coming up to the Bay anytime?

We might move the boat up to Hampton Raods next summer from NC...have to
see...the drive every weekend is pretty grueling...if so, we'll be doing
that long trip but will only go as far as the York...on the way we have
Pamlico and the Abermerle to explore...

Hey Scotty,

Your Jib Sheet should bisect the angle of the Clew 50/50 under normal
conditions. As the wind picks up, move it the back to to let top fall
off as you put more of the tension on the foot of the sail. As the wind
gets weaker, you want to move the sheet forward to tighten to leech and
make the sail baggy.

Often, with Auto furling head sail, people reduce sail without moving
the sheet car to maintain this angle relationship.

Proper Jib sheet angle will be felt in the helm, the heeling will be
less and the "Groove" will be wider.

WTF? How dare attempt get a derailed thread back on the tracks? Now cut
