Are you claiming the sails are trimmed properly?


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!

So you're not talking about the boat that you posted pictures of, the
one with the fender on the deck? I assumed your boat was too
horrific to even describe.

So you're claiming that the 30/30 is over-sheeted in order to slow
down for the dog in front of it? Now that makes sense.

Catch you at what? Actually knowing how to sail? Its doubtful that
anyone will ever catch you doing that!

The 30/30 is not oversheeted at all. I was talking about the 35s5. You
can't even track this discussion, let alone any course.
This is how everyone knows you have no experience sailing performance
boats. Your comments about sail trim are hilarious. It's like you
expect folks out for a spin on a fast boat should hang on to a
specific course and trim and that winds don't change every minute,
especially sailing to the bridges. That also proves that you probably
only motored in our area! Anyone who claims they can judge true
conditions or course from a few pics and vids is clearlly full of
crap!
Face it, Jeff. Fast monohulls are a mystery to you. You owned slow
tubs before and now you sail a floating radiator.

Like I said....I'm doing more sailing on more boats and I'm WAY
younger than you. When I'm your age I sure hope to be doing more.
Oh...wait...I already am!


Hoooh ahh!

Oh my! 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?

yah, right. That's why you posted pictures of another boat, so we
wouldn't talk about it.

Not as funny as your inability to understand what's wrong.

stop! stop! You're embarrassing yourself! Being over sheeted is not
that big of a problem; not understanding what means is truly sad. You
should take some lessons, Bob, before you go sailing for real.


Face it, Jeff. Fast monohulls are a mystery to you. You owned slow
tubs before and now you sail a floating radiator.

Right - I've spent more time racing high performance boats than you've
spent in boats in your life.

Plus - sailing a high performance boat poorly doesn't actually count
as high performance sailing!

And FWIW, my old Nonsuch could hold its own against any of your
previous boats. And maybe someday you'll be able to afford a boat as
fast as mine - if your daddy gives you some more money.


Like I said....I'm doing more sailing on more boats and I'm WAY
younger than you.

What is that supposed to mean? You're a noob, a novice! You still
don't even know how to trim a sail! I did more sailing that you have
by the time I was 20 years old.

When I'm your age I sure hope to be doing more.
Oh...wait...I already am!

rant rant rant. It's so pathetic that you're terrified of going out
overnight, that you can't sail on the ocean because you get seasick,
that you're too embarrassed to race, that you don't even know the
basics of sailing.

And now you're reduced to ranting "I'm better because I'm younger."
What a jackass!

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.

which adds up to what, about 72 hours...and 23 miles?

Hoo boy!
