speed? what would you lose, 1/8 kt? Maybe get to the
anchorage 6 minutes later?

Spoken just like an idiot who doesn't sail. You'd lose more than 1/8
knot and also speed on all points, close hauled ability and so on.
Start that engine, Scotty.
Oh, that's right. You're not sailing again this year!!!

BWAHAHAHAHAHHA!

It should never be crunched up or crooked. The foot
should run fair.
Have a look at how a real sailor does it.

Everything's a compromise.

Depends on what you mean by "best."

Best all around Doug. Is that too hard a concept for you
to envision?

Best means the best shape, and best care, and best
preformance.

best for your vision, best for tacking?

6 minutes is 6 minutes when you're out battling the forces of OPB's...Mr
Sails unofficially pits our boat against others out there to see what
the max for the day is....hey...it's his game...he likes it...I just
tweak when things need to be tweaked...

owwww my eyes! Damn that's an ugly boat.



At least it's sailing. Yours is on jack stands!

Sail and stuff.

Will be voyaging before years

OK, in that case you'll be a year behind us.

Open deep water...and you?

Having a great time, thanks.

Sailing across oceans is boring, 99.999% of the time... unless you're
racing... and the exciting bit is usually due more to bad planning and
poor preparation than anything else. However, if you feel the need to
brag about sailing across oceans, go ahead. Oh wait, you haven't done
it yet... well I have, and am more interested in playing around the
edges.
