Guard rails look a bit slack too...

Nonsense! Leave them on deck, that's where they belong. You're not
racing, people have better things to do then to drag slimy fenders
back and forth.

If you want to do something do make the boat look more seaman-like,
ease the sails so you don't make so much leeway.

Somebody here has some common sense. That snide comment about
fenders it what's going to make me feel good about adding another
Mac 26 to the fleet of sailing watercraft.
Rob, the proper answer was "Kiss my ass."

Since you sail a Mac and could care less ablout safety, that, of course,
would be yur reply....Rob invites all kinds of people sailing with him,
most very inexperienced...navigating around obstacles on the deck is a
hazradous situation....

Katy is correct. The fenders are crowding the side decks and are
unsighlty. The starboard locker is huge with room for 30 big fenders.
As for Jeff's comment....
Could Jeff know anything at all about sail trim? Doesn't sound like
it. No surprise there. I wonder what course he thinks we were on and
what mark we were making for. I wonder if he worked out from the
camera angle that I'm behind the wheel? Sheeted in and 40%, but Jeff
can't reason out why?
Again, no surprise.

More pics and vids coming while Jeff waits for his next sailing break!

Are you claiming the sails are trimmed properly?

Doesn't sound like
it. No surprise there. I wonder what course he thinks we were on and
what mark we were making for.


The sails are over-trimmed and the boat is moving sideways. Are you
claiming that what they wanted to do?

I wonder if he worked out from the
camera angle that I'm behind the wheel?


I think that thing is called a tiller, not a wheel.

Sheeted in and 40%, but Jeff

Oh, I get it! They're showing how well the boat "points." Here's a
hint: making 30 degrees leeway doesn't really show off the boat at its
best.

Again, no surprise.

That will be in a few days, but I've been out for about 50 days in the
last 8 weeks.

Actually, they are trimmed ultra perfectly, but I've altered course so
I can stand easily and hold my camera for the movies and vids.

I'm claiming nothing. You're the only one here silly enough to judge
sail trim for a course you can't see on a boat you're not on making a
course you don't know about!!! And you look dang foolish for it.


I think that thing is called a tiller, not a wheel.


Wow. Jeff you are really OLD. I'm at the WHEEL. Our 35s5 has a WHEEL.
The 30/30 has a tiller. Jeff, time for you meds.



Oh, I get it!

I'm afraid you don't. Again.

I think folks on both boats are just having a fun time, Jeff.

Here's a
hint: making 30 degrees leeway doesn't really show off the boat at
its
best.


Hmmm. Our turning mark is 15 degrees off our starboard bow and we made
it without a problem. Of course you can't even see it, nor do you have
a clue about actual course, steady wind direction or much else in the
pics and vids. But it's fun watching you try to make up things to suit
your imaginary points! Good work!


That will be in a few days, but I've been out for about 50 days in
the
last 8 weeks.


I've sailed about 30 days in that time, aboard 5-6 different boats.
And I didn't have to wait until I was 70 or 80 years old to do it. I'm
44, Jeff.
There isn't enough time in your life to catch me, let alone have as
much fun as we are right now. My golden years are NOW and only getting
better. If I end up like you I'll just buy a motor home!

Hoooh ahhhh!

...and if someone has to go to the foredeck, there be big blue fneders in
the way..they're a hazard...better to just let them hang than to have
them on a thruway to the foredeck...
