Bubbles, you haven't answered the question: what is the difference
between a Hoyt boom and any other type? It's very simple and easy.

Doug, you're not going to shift the discussion, Doug. Anyone can go
look up the info on the Hoyt boom.

Apparently, you can't... or you look it up and it makes no sense to
you.

The Hoyt boom is fixed in it's plane of rotation. In other words,
while a garden-variety staysail boom swingt side to side, and it also
lifts up & down. The Hoyt boom is fixed on two bearings so that it
swings only on an axis parallel to the stay on which the sail is set.
For any trim adjustment, the leach tension stays the same.



..... Joe's question about a staysail boom does not
exclude bringing in the model used on the Alerion.

Nope, it doesn't... Joe could use it, but you can't explain why he
should or shouldn't.

Anybody surprised?




For anyone interested in Hoyt staysail or jib booms, CDI/Furlex
furlers and sails (exotic or otherwise) you can e-mail for technical
info and the better prices. In fact, I can beat any price of typical
online lofts

Sure you can. Why wouldn't you have the lowest price on stuff you
don't comprehend?

And this excluded it from a discussion on staysails WHY??? Did Joe ask
for a specific staysail boom type? Please post where he did so we can
all know what you're carrying on about.

Gee whiz, just like the online manual says!

I did already, Doug. The Hoyt system's advantages were outlined and
anyone can read the info on the site. The advantages over a standard
staysail boom were already pointed out.
The problem, Doug, as usual, is that you can't stand that I not only
know about this stuff, but also use it.
BTW, since you claim to have sailed the A28, please explain how the
jib boom was in your way on the boat? I have never heard this
complaint before on a boat designed for sailors to sail from the
cockpit. Just what did you go forward for and how many times did you
trip? We're dying to know!
Keep reading those issues of Cruising World.

It doesn't.

That's why I mentioned it.

I don't know why you claimed to know all about it, when you didn't
know (and still don't comprehend) what makes it different.



I did already, Doug.

Already did what?

You got three chances to explain the difference between a Hoyt boom
and other types.... thundering silence.... kind of like when you
claimed Robert Perry said a Beneteau 35s5 has an IOR-influenced
tucked

It's in the way of anybody who tries ot work on the foredeck.

..... I have never heard this

Maybe they never docked or anchored the boat. How about you?

BTW I've not only sailed the Shumacher designed Alerion Express 28,
but an original Herreshoff Alerion, and I had a chance to chat briefly
with Carl Shumacher about comparing the designs, back when it was a
new boat. Oh wait, that's dropping names again isn't it? Sorry.

Uh, no, little Doug. I mentioned it. You only came in all in a huff
with nothing to add and all threatened as usual.

This is about the dumbest item ever. The A28 is setup so you don't
work the foredeck. I know you've never sailed one ever. There's no
need to go forward. And if you did the boom is no more in the way than
the sail would be when hoisted. The whole point of the thing is to
reduce foredeckl work for people who aren't fit or agile enough to
step over a boom...like YOU, Doug!


Carl Shumacher about comparing the designs, back when it was a
new boat. Oh wait, that's dropping names again isn't it?


Golly, Doug. We're all very impressed!

Oh no! I missed my chance to cite stuff that Doug will claim I found
on a website!
Pics of the 35s5 flanks will settle everything soon. Best to do it
when she's on the hard.
And don't forget that humiliation I'll add to your life on the J29
issue. I haven't forgotten that and she's due to be hauled soon at my
yard.
I back up what I say, while you just chant on and on, trawler boy!

I'll be sailing tomorrow while you sit at home! Now look at this,
Doug....here's a pretty lady who cares about her husband and wouldn't
want him stuck on a trawler....

And that's the only reason you even answer my trolls, Doug. You struck
out bigtime.

Like the way you found a Robert Perry article that backed up what I
said about "your" boat? Go ahead and tell everyone again what an
expert you are!

Yep, sure will.


I'll be sailing tomorrow while you sit at home!

Not quite, Bubbles.

I'm out cruising, remember? Ever hear of "wireless"?

And that's the only reason you even answer my trolls, Doug.

Your posts are just trolls, aren't they Bubbles? Nothing you say has
any substance in reality, least of all your claims about sailing. But
you're a great troller, and that's what really counts.... to you....

You mean we'll both be sailing tomorrow??? What boat are you sailing?
That's much better news!

Yeah, Doug. All of my pics and videos must be fakes, or at least
that's your sad little crumb that you cling to!


But

Why thank you, Doug. It IS what counts on ASA and makes up the bulk of
the content here. I appreciate you patronage and loyalty.

it is like I said earlier, jib booms are for people who
don't know how to use downwind sails. Swabbie
Robbie, has never flown a spinnaker, or he would
know that a jib boom is a huge tripping hazard.
