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. |

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." --Ed Gordon |

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! RB 35s5 NY |

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 can't reason out why? 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. More pics and vids coming while Jeff waits for his next sailing break! 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. The sails are over-trimmed and the boat is moving sideways. Are you claiming that what they wanted to do? 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. They're showing how well the boat "points." 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! RB 35s5 NY |
