Stay tension
A new way for yankees to test the rigging set maybe....
Is the forward stay to loose? Or is it that the back stays are to loose? Looks as well rigged as Nellens boat. http://news.bbc.co.uk/olmedia/171500..._geneva_ap.jpg Joe |

Why leave the rig under tension any longer than you need to? BTW, it looks like a 505, which doesn't have a backstay, let alone two. Is there any boat that has back *stays*, i.e. more than one? ahhh...Michigan sailing! Well, not for another 5 weeks or so. //Walt |

Why leave the rig under tension any longer than you need to? A few dinghies sail with a moderately slack rig. Snipes brought it to an art form back in the Seventies. When sailing to weather on starboard tack, the port shroud would have nearly a foot of freeplay. And we'd tighten our jib luff wires to the point that about 75% of the tension was on the luff wire and only about 25% on the stay. BTW, it looks like a 505, which doesn't have a backstay, let alone two. Is there any boat that has back *stays*, i.e. more than one? Some big boats have runners, and I believe there was a Hunter or something that had twin backstays, for whatever reason I haven't the slightest. Max |

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. //Walt |

"Maxprop" wrote 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, 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 |
