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



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


Your posts are just trolls, aren't they Bubbles? Nothing you say
has
any substance in reality, least of all your claims about sailing.


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
you're a great troller, and that's what really counts.... to you....



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.

I love when Doug gets busted and tries so hard to change the topic.
Joe asked about staysail booms and I brought up the furling version.
Then you jumped in with nothing useful to add and claimed it was a JIB
boom and not the same thing.
Well, duh! But you were essentially wrong since that particular model
is also usable for staysails, so your original point meant nothing.
Now you're going to point out the differences between the Hoyt model
and a traditional model? Uh, okay! Knock yourself out.
Just so we're clear, you didn't even KNOW that the Hoyt model was used
on staysails or you would have never made an ass of yourself for
100889th time!

Hoyt system is used for STAYSAILS as well as jibs, Doug. The operation
of the system is the same, you asshole!

BWAHAHAHHAHAHAHHHA!

You are right Doug,

He has no clue about the differences. He
totally loses the argument because he can't
answer the question, and then claims you
are busted again.

It reminds me of the time he thought a
kedge anchor needed 300' of rhode. grin

Yeah, sure. That's why you don't know what a Hoyt boom is or what it
does.

Why would a "staysail boom" not be used for staysails?

BWAHAHAHHHA! Keep trying, Doug!

Keep trying what? To get you to make sense when you try to talk about
sailing?

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.

DSK

Doug he is not making any sense at all now. Don't
waste your time on him.

Doug, you're not going to shift the discussion, Doug. Anyone can go
look up the info on the Hoyt boom. You made this post, which makes NO
sense.

Or maybe
you simply don't know enough about sailing to recognize the
difference
between the Hoyt boom and a plain ol' staysail boom.

As I pointed out to Joe, he could use a system like that of the IP or
Alerion. They are the same unit with only a slight mod for deck camber
on some other boats. Joe's question about a staysail boom does not
exclude bringing in the model used on the Alerion.
Now that you know this (AFTER I posted that Island Packet uses it for
their staysails!), you're sadly trying to shift the focus. It aint
working.
Joe asked a question and got answers. You had nothing useful to add.

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 and the sails won't come from China.
Why would any of this interest Doug, who is a powerboater, is anyone's
guess.

OMG, why would anyone ever consider buying sails
from a clueless newbie. I need to call down there and
tell those folk how much business he is driving away.

BTW, since you claim to have sailed the A28, please explain how the
jib boom was in your way on the boat?

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

..... I have never heard this

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.


complaint before on a boat designed for sailors to sail from the
cockpit.

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.

DSK

Slam. You got him good again Doug.
