Well, I paid my money and I took my chances....ordered a main and genoa
for Heart of Gold an hour ago.
Rather than get everyone worked up, I'll wait until I have them hoisted

Scotty's boat. Yes, they are less gay than Ganzy. And yes, they will
allow VMG's of 6.3 knots at 37%.

The only reason his trolls work is because you let him get to you. If you
simply agree with whatever he says, you disarm him. Do you see anyone
calling me gay? No, because if they did I would offer them a big wet
smootchie and a good spanking with a big rubber paddle. They run when they
hear that. I can't be trolled about my boat because I don't have one. No
one will ridicule my 350lb wife who has incurable acne on her back and hairy
nipples (five of them!).
This place is like a pool of sharks. Once they sense weakness, you are
toast. So what if someone says you are gay. It's effortless to just agree
with them and move on. The people who know you in real life know you aren't
gay and they know you are a kind, caring person.
RB comes across as a big monstrous troll but he's really not. If you look at
all the dirt everyone has thrown on him, he has never really struck back.
Yes, he'll troll you and say a few bad things but if you ignore him he'll go
elsewhere. In that light, he is a very generous person. If you really wanted
to get him, go sailing with him. Wait until you are a few miles offshore
then go into the cabin, strip down to your speedos and slap your buttcheeks
real loud. Walk out to the cockpit with two jars of Mayonaise (Hellman's -
you're east of the Mississippi) and slap the cheeks some more. Ask him if
it's time now as you rub mayonaise all over yourself while wearing swim
goggles. It really works, gets them everytime. (You can explain later that
the mayonaise was to be used as Channel Grease).

Ah, but I've plonked him, so all I see are the replies to his crapola. I
don't care what he calls me. Never have, never will. Why do you think
otherwise? Bob is a pathetic guy, who is desperate for attention and
deserving of our sympathy. Since you feel the need to respond to him, you're
one who's feeding his psychosis. You might want to rethink it.

Pool of sharks?? Now that's funny. This is Usenet. I couldn't care less what
goes on here. I only care about things when they go beyond this fiction into
the real world. This has happened on occasion, unfortunately.

Bob isn't going away, even though I (certainly) mostly ignore him. I don't
care either way, actually. He's been here a long, long time. At one point,
he actually contributed in an interesting and useful way. This changed a few
years ago, so something must have changed dramatically in his life... for
the worse I'm sure.

In the past, I certainly did my bit of name-calling, etc. People change, and
I decided quite a while ago not to engage in that, since mostly the people
are not worth the candle. I hope I've changed for the better. Clearly, some
people either can't or won't change. The former have mental problems and
need help. There are a couple of people like that... no need to name names.
The latter are just stuborn, and I like them a lot better. :-)

And, you're wrong about "them leaving me alone" if I show restraint. That's

The 35s5 sails were said to be in great shape....but here's what I
found during the full survey. The mylar main was badly stained with
mildew. An effort was made to wash it...a no-no, and it suffered even
more. The owner said I'd get a season out of it and he was right. The
110% was in the same kind of shape, more ugly than worn, but now has
some delamination. The 155 is in good shape, but FAR too much sail for
the boat. I'll probably sell it off at some point. The chute is
practically new. The heavier storm sail is unused. So in short it was a
mixed bag. I paid less for the boat after the sails were surveyed.
I've bought very nice sails to replace these and I'm excited to get
them up!

Well, let's see.....the J29 owner rarely flies his big genny, the new
C&C 32 owner is using a 135%....even my friend's J30 typically only
needs a 110%.
Dave, how often do you need a 155%??? We sail just fine with a 110%
(and a rather tired sail at that) in everything over 6-8 knots of wind.
Most mastheads around here have a RF 135-145% type sail and it's quite
common to see them out reefed down or with no main up. Oh, and
according to Mark at Doyle, he flew a 110 on his Beneteau 36.7 most of
the time.

I carry a 155, a 135, a 100 and a storm jib. This summer, I'd say I got
about equal use of the 155 and the 100, and used the 135 only a couple of
times.


So you either had pretty light days or some good air. Not much in the
middle? I think most of the days we sailed we had between 8 and 16
knots. Do you think a fractional rig boat with a SA of over 600 sq.
feet and disp. of under 12000 lbs needs a 155% often? I just want YOUR
opinion because no one else I know with lighter boats and fractional
rigs needs them much. In fact, the J29 here Excite flys a small
headsail almost all of the time and he has a custom ballast boat. The
go-to sail on a J30 here (and we know three) is a 110%.
See my other post regarding the change to my headsail spec.

Nutsy,

A Question; You have a Self Furler on your Head Stay, Why are you
cutting a #1? Why aren't you just rolling it up?

It sounds like your "2nd Hand head sail" isn't going to be able to take
a partial reef? Is that the case? Will you be able to roll it to a 100%
if you can't cut it?

I guess I'm asking; If you furl it, will it lose its driving force and
just be a Heeling Producer?

I don't understand the mentality of cutting down a head sail on a Self
Furler?

Please explain?

NEW Sails!!!
 

I guess I'm asking; If you furl it, will it lose its driving force and
just be a Heeling Producer?



All good questions, Thom. I feel that sails perform best when they are
not furled, with a sharp leading edge and proper shape. 125% combined
with our big main is a lot of sail area and as I've said, we found the
110% more than enough most of the time. The sail will also last longer
with loads distributed across the whole grid, rather than a section of
it when the sail is partially rolled up. Now add to that the fact that
these hi tech sails will power up the boat even more and I happy to be
a bit conservative by cutting the genoa a bit. Sure it will furl,
pretty well I bet. Remember that the 35s5 is all about her mainsail. I
sailed all the way to oyster bay on a close reach with only the main,
and well to weather at times. No jib required with 15 knots+ blowing.
Also keep this in perspective: I don't race and I do a lot of easy
daysailing and overnighters. I won't demand a lot from these sails 95%
of the time, certainly not what they were built for. On the other hand
they will be fun when I do push the boat and are a great deal for the
money. It's a win/win all around.

windward performance, trim, acceleration on all points and reduce
weight aloft...do you?

Do you think a fractional rig boat with a SA of over 600 sq.

rigs needs them much.

Hell, what do I know about it. I don't have either a fractional rig or a
particularly light boat.

You've a real boat, a Canadian boat, a boat with enough glass and resin
to make two Bennies of the same length!

Real boat = too much glass and resin and poor technology?
Oh.
I prefer a boat that doesn't need a 155% genoa on the LIS 50% of the
time.

Nutsy,

Or should we address you as; "2nd Hand Rose?"

Are you putting ultra violet protection on the the Leech of your 2nd
handed Butchered Head Sail?

Seems like your wonderful Deck Level Furler is just "Junk" now. Worth
nothing on e-bay because of the Track attached.

Seems like a very poor mental error on your part. I want to go on
recorded of not agreeing with any thing you've done with your Head
Sail. Starting with the purchase of a racing jib for a cruising knock
about boat, The need to go to the pointy End of the boat to hank on a
head sail and remove it from a useless Self Furling system.

I'm really not sure that you are that stupid. Is this just another of
your; "Lying trolls?"

I thought that is why you have a 155% on a Roll-up Furler?

Thom, I paid nothing for the Pentax Mylar. I thought I e-mailed you and
gave you the facts. I traded a sail from my closet, a 1989 Kevlar Lt.
#1 from a J35. To be fare, it's in like new shape and worth more than
what I'm getting, but I couldn't use it or recut it and I got less that
400 bucks for the last one I sold.
The pentax mylar has only been cut down 8% and a new cover added. I've
been promised that it's 8-9 condition or my money back. Same for the
main and that sail, already delivered, is hard to rate much below a 10
for condition.
The Genoa was cut high to make it easier for a small crew to handle and
for singlehanding. The deck sweeper is a pain and I don't race. On top
of that the loft threw in new battens for the main and is including a
lazy jack system for free. I can't see the downside of a basically free
hi tech sail, cut for easier handling that I will use for bopping
around the bay. True, we're not taking advantage of the below deck
furler, but so what? I'm not taking advantage of all the 35s5's
potential or any boat for that matter. Who does? Perhaps you can
enlighten me?

Nutsy,

Years ago, when I lived in NY and Herb Hild was still alive and sailing
his Tartan, he had a saying that has stuck with me. He said: " Anything
that keep me, my family and my friends off the pointy end of the Boat is
a GOOD THING!"

Nutsy, you have turned that completely around by going to a Hanked on
head sail!

You've made Neal happy and me disgusted. You've gone against a
cruiser's way. Sorry, I disagree with you (For what ever that means
coming from a Beached Bum)

Thom, I think you're confused. The Pentax Mylar has a UV cover and was
built to be furled and left up. Perhaps if I was going away for a week
or more, I'd roll and stow, but otherwise it's no different than my
current Mylar 110% except that it's in great shape and will be easier
to fly.

Sorry Nutsy,

I asked about Ultra Lite protection and didn't get an answer or at least
I don't remember an affirmative answer.

Is you have it set-up for Self Furling and storage on the Head Stay;
GOOD ON YOU!! I stand corrected. Carry on.

You are more gay than Liberace! :-)

No, because if they did I would offer them a big wet smootchie and a good
spanking with a big rubber paddle.

Ummm, promises, promises!

They run when they hear that. I can't be trolled about my boat because I
don't have one. No one will ridicule my 350lb wife who has incurable acne
on her back and hairy nipples (five of them!).

You have Ozzy beat, his wife only has 3 nipples!
