Bart,

I just wrote down 14 without counting Reefing, which could add one to
three adjustments, depending on how you're counting.

OK Salty;

Take Ganz's List and then add;
Hmmm... traveler, outhaul, cunningham, reefing lines (x3), leech line,
topping lift, boom vang, adjustable backstay, preventer, lazy jacks (or
Dutchman or StackPak), furling line (for boom or main), perhaps a boom
bolt
rope, I've heard of batten control lines.
---------
Flattening Reef, Downhaul or Barber haul on down for Broad Reach or Run,
Jack Stays (Port & Starboard) Upper Shrouds (P&S) Lower Shrouds(P&S)
Adjustable Mast Foot, Fore Stay.

These are all adjustments for Maconi Main. I wouldn't even know where to
start on a Junk Sail or even a Lateen Sail (I learned to sail with a
Lateen)

Salty, if you really need to know what & how to adjust; post me off
group. I don't want to be in a discussion with a Sockpuppet. I know Bart
& Ganz to be real.

Flattening Reef

That's kind of an old-fashioned thing, isn't it?

There are a lot of boats out there with only one reef point in the
main anyway

I was thinking about running rigging Thom. Still
I liked your answer. The flattening reef is something
others missed. There are some interesting ways
to rig a flattening reef.

True in one way perhaps.

Very much not true in another.


Ganz and Bart are no more "real" than anybody
else here. Usenet is all ones and zeros.

Everything on your computer is ones & zeroes, bud. Not just Usenet.

I have met Bart and Ganz, they are very much real. And more to the
point, they are both good sailors.

And, I've met Doug and he's a very good sailor as well. Also, he has good
table manners.

I don't need any help with this subject, thank you. I just wanted tto point out
that your answer wasn't serving the basic purpose of teaching those who don't
know. As far as "real", everybody in usenet is essentially a sockpuppet
regardless of what name they use. Ganz and Bart are no more "real" than anybody
else here. Usenet is all ones and zeros.

One becomes real, by demonstrating that fact
by meeting someone in the group, or otherwise
gaining credibility.

That's pure baloney, Bart. In any case, I have met some of the posters here in

Like, who?

Doug,

Salty knows Wilbur and Neal. Meets them each time Neal looks in a
mirror.

Neal;

I don't have a boat; period. I did and I sailed it and gladly share my
knowledge with other SAILORS. It's post just like this that made me a
LURKER.
