Heart of Gold clip to windward

You really don't know anything about sailing, do you? Yes, if you're on a close reach you're still making way to windward. However, your VMG to windward will be **** poor, unless your speed increases a huge amount. Holy backpedal, Batman!!!! No backpedal by me, only by you. Now jeff admits that a close reach is upwind and windward!!!! After saying the 99% of all sailors only think windward is BEATING!!!! I never said "windward" was "beating," I said the most sailors think that measuring VMG to Windward implies beating; certainly that is the time it is most important. However, it does not mean going at the precisely optimal angle, only that the best VMG is obtained at that angle. Since your boat's best VMG to Windward is lower than 6 knots, your point of sail is not meaningful - whatever it is, your VMG to Windward was not 6 knots. OOOPs!!!!! You should change your pants after that, Bob. Now he's prattling on about VMG without even knowing the bouy we were headed for or really any other details. One doesn't have to know. You specified "VMG to Windward" which only means one thing. |

VMG to windward is measured from 1 degree above a beam reach and higher all the way to the highest point of sail possible. And THAT'S a fact. Anyone want a slice of Jeff-Fish? It's a bit fishy, but just throw some lemon on it! RB 35s5 NY |

However, the highest VMG is always beating to windward. And the highest that your boat has is well under 6 knots. Thus, your claim of 6 knots is bogus. |

So...you NOW admit that sailing upwind or to windward is not necessarily beating. We were not beating as I CLEARLY stated, therefore the VMG of 6 knots to windward was 100% accurate and certainly possible and you just shot your own argument in the head and backed over it with your car. Someone call 911!!! I saw Jeff do it! BWAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!!! Now I'm going to sleep. I'll check in the morning for Jeff's feeble mule kick. G'night to ASA. RB 35s5 NY |
