This is what Maxprop said: "Show us a photo of you--clad any way you choose--on the same boat you showed
us in another photo, and I'll believe you're not Neal. Of course you can't do this because you *are* Neal." OK buster. Just like making Tom eat crow I'm gonna make you eat crow, too. But, probably you'll just be saying something like "I need one more picture. This time you have to be turning a winch handle." (Katy said that. Duh, maybe she needs glasses. There're no winches on Elle Niño. Only swivel cam cleats. One on each side for the jib sheets and one on the back for the mainsheet.) Oh, was it you who said the Tangerines supposed to have pulleys to hold the sheets down so the jib won't flap and flutter on the leech? Maybe it was Jeff. Anyway instead of pulleys I got fairleads. Much cheaper. Now the jib doesn't flutter any more. The fairleads pull it in and down and stretches the leech better. Are you ready for some pictures? I've got three of them uploaded to badongo. The first one's my boat from the back showing the name and home port...... http://www.badongo.com/pic/420191 The second's from the side with a rainbow in the background.

Sorry guys, no topless but it is sorta skin colored. ;-) http://www.badongo.com/pic/420193 I took the sails down this time because the wind was onshore. But what a pain. The jib kept blowing around and went in the water a couple times. Finally I put the boarding ladder on top of it to make it stay put. I think it's easier just to leave them up and anchor where the wind's blocked. Cheers, Ellen |

That's a very light displacement daysailor...doens't matter if you only weigh 90 lbs you're still going to make it list to starboard standing like that. Give it up...only thing you're proving is that you have a whole lot of time on your hands... Standing straight up in the cockpit in the middle of the boat's gonna make it list? I don't think so. I could weigh 200# and still the boat wouldn't list unless I was sitting or standing on one side of the cockpit. Duh! It's a day sailer but it's pretty heavy. It's got real ballast in the keel. It's not water like the MacGregor26s. Here's the site and the weights: http://www.geocities.com/renkensailboats/Technical.html TECHNICAL INFORMATION: Boat name: Renken 18 Sailboat (R18) LOA: 17'6" LWL: 15'3" Draft: 24" Beam: 6'4" Keel: fixed shoal Displacement: 1220 lbs Ballast: 450 lbs Sleeps: 2 adults, 2 children Sail area: main=91 sq. ft., jib=59 sq. ft. (total=150 sq. ft.) Portsmouth # (for regattas): 112.4 Tangerine / Sigma 18 / Renken 18 History and Technical Data Now there's probably 200 more pounds inside with the canned goods and other foods, stove, two anchors, life jackets, cushions, water jugs, battery, lantern, extra sails, blankets, sheets, pillows etc. And I bet I scraped a hundred pounds of guck off the bottom. But I did that before the pictures so it doesn't really count. I broke a nail on my right pinky and got a cut on a cuticle by a barnacle. And it's wide in the back. Lots of flotation back there. It's pretty wide for its length. 6'4" beam. It's probably close to that across the transom. My weight just doesn't push it down very much.

As for the jib - f***ing pond sailor, never a blue water yachtswoman to leave the boat with it like that! She's got roller furling sails in the front and probably on the mainsail too. But, your right. I should have tidied them up better. But there wasn't much wind. Only about ten miles per hour so it wasn't likely to cause any wear problems. But I don't see what's so sloppy about the main. I had it sorta rolled up and strapped to the boom with the end of the mainsheet. It couldn't flap. We teach our novices to stow sails better than that in their first two sessions. Any slow to learn get shown the invoice for the last new set, they have some respect for them then. My sails especially the jib are old and worn out. Maybe I'll get some new ones one of these days if the old ones rip. The wire cable inside the front of the jib rusted real bad and broke at the bottom. I had to pull the bottom end out and I had to sew some patches on and put some new hanks on. But it needs new patches on all the hanks. And about 3/4 of the cable is still in the sail. I can't pull it out. It's rusted in. Maybe it'll loosen up more as I use it..... Those copper or brass grommets at the hanks are mostly corroded away too. I bought some more at Wal-Mart and a tool to hammer them together so I can do that one of these days too. Cheers, Ellen |

But, probably you'll just be saying something like "I need one more picture. This time you have to be turning a winch handle." (Katy said that. Duh, maybe she needs glasses. There're no winches on Elle Niño. Only swivel cam cleats. One on each side for the jib sheets and one on the back for the mainsheet.) Oh, was it you who said the Tangerines supposed to have pulleys to hold the sheets down so the jib won't flap and flutter on the leech? Maybe it was Jeff. Anyway instead of pulleys I got fairleads. Much cheaper. Now the jib doesn't flutter any more. The fairleads pull it in and down and stretches the leech better. Are you ready for some pictures? I've got three of them uploaded to badongo. The first one's my boat from the back showing the name and home port...... http://www.badongo.com/pic/420191 The second's from the side with a rainbow in the background. It's sooo kewl.... http://www.badongo.com/pic/420192 The third's me standing in the cockpit wearing a bikini..... Sorry guys, no topless but it is sorta skin colored. ;-) http://www.badongo.com/pic/420193 I took the sails down this time because the wind was onshore. But what a pain. The jib kept blowing around and went in the water a couple times. Finally I put the boarding ladder on top of it to make it stay put. I think it's easier just to leave them up and anchor where the wind's blocked. Cheers, Ellen More Photoshop...so there's a Tangerine in Tbor City...so what...doesn't prove anything...by the way, when you blow up the pic of the supposed person on the boat, the reflection is only of the boat...and the way the person is standig in the boat would casue a slight list to the starboard side...which of course doesn't exist because that person is not on the boat...but your photoshopping is getting better... It's terrible, actually. The boat would be down by the stern as well. Neal should stick with being a conservative--he does that pretty well. Max The good Capt Neal is a brilliant Conservative! And Master Mariner! |

Hey Max,
You know she's not real. She is Make-believe. Where in the hell is the Photographer located? Is he in a Dink? Why isn't he in the boat? Ask her to put on a sweat shirt and slanks, with a sun hat? Have the camera abroad to take that picture. That will take some time to phony up that. We know she is a phony and a phony doesn't have to worry about Logic. If she can Fake it OK, if not she can lie about what you asked or pay no attention. IGNORE Trying to be logical. We know what we know. Let it go at that! http://community.webtv.net/tassail/ILLDRINKTOTHAT |

Why isn't he in the boat? Not sure whom the photographer was, but it's a sure bet that the bimbette and that boat have never been within a thousand miles of each other. Neal may have taken a photo of that boat in Florida, but who knows. Or cares. Ask her to put on a sweat shirt and slanks, with a sun hat? Have the camera abroad to take that picture. That will take some time to phony up that. The simplest request would be to have her sit in the boat, dressed in jeans and a sweatshirt, as you suggest, holding a sign that says, "Hi Thom and Max and Katy." She could be smiling and waving to us, too. Of course Neal isn't anywhere near that creative with Photoshop. But it would be amusing to see him try. We know she is a phony and a phony doesn't have to worry about Logic. If she can Fake it OK, if not she can lie about what you asked or pay no attention. IGNORE Trying to be logical. We know what we know. Let it go at that! Neal's been busted on this one. But it's fun to watch him squirm and attempt to keep up the facade. Max |
