That picture is old. Her name is Caroline and she is now
in her fifties.

Not buying it. The model is in her teens in the photo, maybe 20 max. And
that Lewmar-type hatch in the photo hasn't been around for thirty years or
more.

She was 35 in the picture. The body was built by ballet.

Busted again, Neal. Ever hear of French Nails?

Of course I have. But I guess you never heard of glue on French nails?

If you break a nail or some nails it looks dumb. It takes them a while to grow out. Weeks. So
you buy some stick-on nails and use those instead. Duh! Keep your real nails short and use glue on
nails for dress up and picture taking.

A flabby old girly-man at best. By the way--how's the inflatable doll doing these days? Is "she" worn out, or has
she been superceded by your left hand again?

Do do do do, do do do do, do do do do, do do do do...... You and Katy, peas in a pod.

Cheers,
Ellen

Do you know that for a fact? If she really was 35, she'd done well to stay
in such awesome shape.

Why would I give a rat's posterior? But you were the one contending that
such a manicure job couldn't have been done on natural nails. Busted again,
Neal.

Here's why you're so busted, Neal. I've referred to the photos of the kid
model as a bimbette repeatedly. If you truly were that attractive young
thing, you'd have been soooo outraged and calling me all sorts of
epithetical appellations. Busted!!!

I'm starting to worry about Max, first he's spouting gay
rights and now he's arguing about nails with Ellen.

Rig tension looks about right to me - very loose when the boat is not
actually under way. Why leave the rig under tension any longer than you
need to?

Because flex=fatigue. A rig left loose wears out faster as it flops around.

Um. No.


Sorry.

Um. Yes.

Perhaps you should ask Brion Toss.


Be my guest. Phrase the question like this:

"I've got a 505 that I dry sail from a launch dolly. Should I loosen
the rig when I bring her ashore?"

Here's the answer:

Absolutely. With a dry sailed dinghy, you always slacken the rig once
ashore. It takes the tension off the hull, which will fatigue if kept
under load. On many dinghys you even sail with the rig loose.

Now, a keelboat that stays in the water all the time is a different
story. But that's not what's in the picture.

I never said that. Some stupid people where saying those were my *real* nails.
I couldn't be sailing with nails like that.... Why not? It isn't too hard to get them
off if they break you just glue another one on later.
I just said real nails aren't white on the ends like that. Sure you can give real
nails the French Nail treatment. But, in the picture my nails aren't even French Nails
like Katy said. Duh. Katy's just a dummies. French nails even if they're glue-ons are
light pearly pink on top and white on the bottom. But even the white has a pink tint
because the pink covers the whole top of the nails.
I wouldn't expect Katy to know that. She's way to plain and dumpy to ever
have been a model. Just like you're way too ignorant to know about nails...

Cheers,
Ellen

You call what Maxprop does arguing? That's pretty lame arguing IMO.
No facts, no logic, no system, no couth, no results. lol
