You're claiming now that whenever you say "upwind" you might mean
"ever so slightly higher than a beam reach" and when you say


No, Jeff. Never said. All I'm saying is that you've made an arse of
yourself after I simply stated VMG upwind, which you ASSUMED must be
beating.
I'm not sure which is more embarrassing for you....

1) Raging over our VMG without knowing our specific POS and conditions.
2) Not really knowing what upwind means.
3) Falling into your own bucket of crap and calling me names.

Your own fault, Jeff. We went sailing. You stayed home. Same thing
happens today...but then I miss tomorrow cuz' Suzanne's working.
You sound like one seriously unhappy fella!

When Bubbles says anything at all, he's basically full of ****.

How? By trying to have a sailing conversation with the
Boobsprit, using actual sailing terms?

What else would it be?

In order to make 6 knots upwind VMG, you would have to be
going over 8 knots thru the water.

Knotmeter reported 7.2 knots when the GPS reported VMG of 6 knots.

Imagine if any of you were out sailing as we were....nope. You're all
HERE watching my sailing clips!!!!


BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Actually, to a sailor, when you combine "upwind" and "VMG", you should
be refering to to that component of the boats velocity towards a point
directly upwind of the boats present position; this is in fact an
imaginary moving point.

What you perhaps should have said is that you were sailing upwind,
making a VMG of 6 knots towards a buoy. Not quite the same thing.

Well, Martin....in all honesty I knew the video clips of Heart of Gold
sailing nicely would upset folks like Jeff and Doug. On the other
hand...ZOWEE! Jeff really went zonko!
For a pathological liar, I'm sure good at coming up with photos and
video that back what I say in every case. Poor Scotty still thinks I
went around and put shackles on all the boats at my club!

Or something other phrase entirely, without the term "VMG."

You must have an empty life, Bubbles. Why would I watch one
of your videos? I have no interest in sucking up bandwidth
(nor my own time) watching clueless people sail badly.

Except that you don't know what VMG means, and you don't
know whether the boat(s) you claim to sail are frac or
masthead, you get caught lying about the weather, etc etc.

Hey, Dummy! Didn't you even know that the H43 is a B&G rig? Poor Bart
was simply trolling to see if I'd mention it. You're one dumb sailor.
I especially like your post about not watching the video is question,
Doug. I'm NOT sailing the boat, dummy. I'm shooting the video and the
man at the helm has about 20 times more sailing experience and time on
the water than you do...and not on trawlers!

So here it is again, Doug. You're probably do green with envy to
watch...but here's Heart of Gold clipping along nicely....

I don't know what a "B&G rig" is. However, I do know what a
B&R rig is.



.... I'm NOT sailing the boat, dummy.

Good. That seems entirely appropriate for your knowledge &
skill level.

No, just the ones you photoed.

BTW, who shot those videos, your kid?
