A Real Race
 

I have no doubt he
can sail circles around you.



I have serious doubts that any of you sail enough for that to mean
anything. 5 years ago I drew on the vast experience of friends who do
regular crossings and race one design. I bet you heard or even know a
few of them, Bart. I still learn from them, but they would certainly
tell you that I can trim a boat nicely handle the helm. I'd love to
see Sloco sail circles around me since no one else can. In a race
around the buoys he'd probably win since I don't race and could care
less.
So your point means little and I truly think Sloco knows **** about
boats. Like Doug, he walks around thinking he's a vast store house of
sailing knowledge. But like most sailors, he has opinions about stuff
he doesn't know much about. I know people who have designed sails,
built boats they crossed an ocean with and make a real life of
sailing. The fellow who sold me my 35s5 has sailed around the world,
sailed Turner's boat during the Fastnet disaster and is now building a
boat. I'll sail with him next month. It's funny how guys like that
don't have time to post here. He's read these forums and found them
funny as hell.
With a couple of exceptions (Such as Joe who's had professional time
at sea and owns a serious passage maker) you're all weekend warriors
and not too good at that. Bart, get real. You've been working on that
boat...a lovely Ericson I think, for how long? We had a guy come into
the yard last season and he bought a pretty far gone Valliant 40. The
boat needed everything, including blister work and keel damage repair.
He refit that boat in half a season and sailed it home to Ireland.
You've been fixing that thing for YEARS.
Sloco is probably a good PHRF sailor. He's obviously impressed with
himself about it. But he's also a trailer trash asswipe and I like
pointing it out as often as possible!

If you start now and race two or three days a week, you
might
be able to catch up to loco's experience. I have no doubt
he
can sail circles around you.

I think you hit a nerve, Bart.

So not only is Sloco a tool, but he's also dumb enough to still be
smoking?
I see.

Off for a sail. Keep posting!

Care less? Didn't this guy just post that he was in a "real race"?
Trumpeting that he beat up on a 27 footer with a 29 footer while
claiming they were close in performance. Oh, that's right there was
no starting line or pre start or upwind turn or tacking or jibing
or........................ It was just a drag race between a 29
footer and a 27 footer. That's how it's done in the Matrix.

35s5................ Quick in the Matrix.

Care less?


Yup. The only one who's filled with care about this stuff is you!


Didn't this guy just post that he was in a "real race"?


More real than your silly handicap races.


Trumpeting that he beat up on a 27 footer with a 29 footer while

J27's beat J29 fractionals all the time, boat for boat. I guess you've
sailed neither.


Oh, that's right there was
no starting line or pre start

Nope. We raced for FUN, plankton breath. FUN is something completely
alien to you aboard a boat. You've made than more than obvious!

Yea, a couple of feet of waterline always make a boat faster. Tell us
all about it sloco! Now, care to explain how we got to the bridges and
under stepping stone and back to our docks without tacking or gybing?
Who knew drag races had so many course changes!?


Sloco, you're not just an idiot. You're an enraged idiot and love it!
Going sailing, lubber boy! Keep posting!

What a great troll, Bubbles! You've all but admitted that this "race"
was totally imaginary then contradicted yourself a dozen times or
more, and here you have pulled in a couple of dozen answers from real
people who really sail.... sucked them right into your fantasy world.
Congrats!

I very rarely read your posts, but this one was a lulu.

You mean my fantasy world where I post pics and vids of the sailing I
actually do. Then I come home from sailing and find that you've also
responded to my posts during the day while we sailed. I'm off now,
Doug. I have to meet crew by 1:30 while you help your wife do some
shoe shopping.

I'll post pics/vids tomorrow. We may sleep aboard tonight, or come
home tonight for BBQ and sleep aboard tomorrow.

Too bad you're missing the joys of owning a sailboat, Doug!
