Heart of Gold Sails on...and on....
"Capt. Rob" wrote in message oups.com... Well, with Heart of Gold back in action, I knew August is always a questionable month for sailing with light air common on the LIS for that month. Well not this year! In fact this has been one of the sweetest summers for sailing in a long time. I think we've had just a single day with calm conditions. Yesterday was blowing 25 knots plus at Execution rocks, but by around 1:00 it had calmed a bit and we had a great time. The winds kept many sailors home, but if they'd hung around it became a perfect day with about 12-16 knots and cool breezes. We caught up to friends aboard their J24.... http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/a...35s5/Week3.jpg Sunday didn't look good. Predictions were 5-10 knots and when I checked the link for Execution rocks it read gusts to 4 knots or thereabouts. Well, Thomas and I met up with some friends and we set out for a short daysail in dead calm conditions. A LOT of sailboats were out. No one could fill a sail. We raised the main and waited 30 minutes...and it started to blow...5 knots...10....and finally gusting to 13-14 and a nice overcast to keep the sun out our eyes. My buddy aboard his fast Santana joined us.... http://s196.photobucket.com/albums/a...nt=SantMov.flv snipped the rest That video really stinks. T'aint nothin more pitiful than some lame amateur video of a floating day care center with a cockpit full of plain school marms. They're slobbering all over some kid. There's land close enough to spit on and a smaller boat going faster. And, how can anybody stand the non-stop hen clucking? Arrrgh! Barf! You honestly think you can impress sailors with that kinda garbage? No way, man! It's all too domestic. Might make a good spread in "Woman's Day." It definitely doesn't belong here. No man would post something like that seriously. It's gotta be just more creative trolling . More proof that Capt. R.B.'s the life of the party. He'll even debase himself to get bites on his hooks.

Even a beginner should be able to see that. The sail is
stalled and the boat is going sideways. Or are you claiming that's normal? Even if the sail was stalled, the 30/30 sure aint going sideways. This is more proof you have no real sailing experience. In spite of being a masthead rig, she's driven well by her main. That's why there's no indication of her going sideways. Her wake is straight as an arrow, CLEARLY shown in the video. Oops. There goes Jeff's efforts! yah, right. That's why you posted pictures of another boat, so we wouldn't talk about it. Notice how no one else jumped on your little effort? That's because others can see the boat is sailing straight and they probably know that a Santana 30/30 doesn't slide easily. You know nothing about the boat and I bet you never sailed one...faster than a J30 or Express 30. Not as funny as your inability to understand what's wrong. It is funny! But I can see it. You're pushing 75 and it's all wrapping up. I'm 44 and having more fun sailing than you can stand. I think everyone can see that! stop! stop! You're embarrassing yourself! Being over sheeted is not that big of a problem; not understanding what means is truly sad. He's not oversheeted. You don't know what his course is relative to the wind, except for a few seconds. Sorry. There's no evidence to support you're silly comments. It's akin to you claiming how deep the water was that day! Bwahahahahha! Right - I've spent more time racing high performance boats than you've spent in boats in your life. Yeah...a guy who bought a Nonsuch! BWAHAHAHAHAHA! And FWIW, my old Nonsuch could hold its own against any of your previous boats. BWAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!! Hey, Jeff...I sold a Nonsuch 30 and 36 and I sailed the 30 They are nice boats, but get over yourself. We have a few around and they are **** slow upwind in anything below 10 knots. Upwind we pass a pretty 35 everytime we see her. Nobody buys a Nonsuch for speed. In fact the tubby 36 is rated in the 158-165 area...slower than a well sailed Catalina 34! And maybe someday you'll be able to afford a boat as fast as mine - if your daddy gives you some more money. Well, Jeff...what boat did you own when you were 43 or 44? Was it a 65K boat? But if money really matters to you (and you always bring it up), what will you do when we buy our new boat that costs more than yours in two years? When Thomas tops 5 we plan to buy a DS style boat over 40 feet. Guess that will really fry your bacon...if you're still breathing in 2-3 years! What is that supposed to mean? It meant I'm younger than you. It meant that I'm outsailing you now and in a race aboard J24's I'd leave you for dead. I'm certain of it. I did more sailing that you have by the time I was 20 years old. Probably. I didn't sail until I was in my 30's. But that even further demolishes your sad point. At your age, floating around with the grandkids, what excuse do you have? Why aren't you making REAL passages? It's so pathetic that you're terrified of going out overnight Sharks feed at night! , that you can't sail on the ocean because you get seasick It's the smell of diesel from my leaky fuel lines, Jeff. that you're too embarrassed to race I'm not a lonely guy, Jeff. Racing is for the desperately wealthy or the desperately lonely. I have a sex life...and enough cash to buy a 300K + boat in a few years. that you don't even know the basics of sailing. Basic Sailing = Sail fun and safe your own way. Yup, I got it! And now you're reduced to ranting "I'm better because I'm younger." I guess I hit a live nerve. Who knew you had any left???!!! BWAHAAHAHHAHA! KER-SLAM!!! I think you need non-sailing land-locked Scotty Potty about now! RB 35s5 NY |

Flying a 150%, while we flew a 125%, it was a very even match up. Heart of Gold had the edge off the wind of course, but I think the Santana has the upwind edge. Of course Heart of Gold made her good speed with little fuss. It was a great sailing day and Thomas loves sailing. Few things rev him up like three little words...."Let's go sailing!" I everyone is enjoying their boats and a great season! BTW, a new folding prop has really given Heart of Gold a nice speed increase! RB 35s5 NY Very nice but, why oh why are you still sailing with your dfenders whomped up on the rails???? So he won't hurt the other boats when he side-swipes them? |

RB 35s5 NY Very nice but, why oh why are you still sailing with your dfenders whomped up on the rails???? Did'ja see the boat in the last picture? Must be a law up there to have the dfenders at the ready? Someone should report those guys in the J-24 |

Bob's not a beginner, he's a washed up has-been, know it all, no talent, loser who still can't sail after all those years of pretending. Scotty |

Just think......in about a month, you can put her back on the stands
for the winter. Must be a great sailing season up there. We usually sail through mid November. It has been a great season, so thanks! RB 35s5 NY |

"Capt. Rob" wrote in message ups.com... Notice how no one else jumped on your little effort? Jeff never needs any help in slamming you down. That's because others can see the boat is sailing straight and they probably know that a Santana 30/30 doesn't slide easily. Maybe it's because others, like me ,don't bother to look at your crappy pics. It is funny! But I can see it. You're pushing 75 and it's all wrapping up. I'm 44 and having more fun sailing than you can stand. I think everyone can see that! What I see is a seasoned sailor smacking down a wannabe pretender. When Thomas tops 5 we plan to buy a DS style boat over 40 feet. Do you plan to sail *that* boat in the Round The Island race, too? You taking *that* boat on a ''cruise to nowhere' (out of sight of land), also? Why aren't you making REAL passages? This is hilarious, coming from the dock queen of LIS. I have (sic)...and enough cash to buy a 300K + boat in a few years. After you inherit 295k in a few years, right? |
