"Heart of Gold is a United States Coast Guard inpspected vessel and carries
all required safety gear. The co-captain is also a nurse, so feel free to
break a leg!"

Inpspected??? Bwahahhahaha. There's that liberal education showing.

What became of the project you told us about a few months ago about
replacing her with some unspecified make of larger boat that would have us
all green with envy when we learned what boat you have bought?
I said so when you bought it, and the photos confirm, my belief that a
black mainsail looks awful. Leaving spinnakers aside,sails should be white,
red or tanned, depending on the type of boat.

We get many compliments on our dark Kevlar and quite a few boats have
dark sails as well.
As for a new boat, we're looking at the Corbin 39 as a strong
contender, but I'm not really interested in seeing you or anyone else
"green with envy."

We're just sailing and having fun and I hope you are too!

Yes, and maybe this summer we'll actually raise the sails! :-)
We were away from the dock so much the last two summers that this summer
we won't have a "home" marina. We're committed to leaving before July
and not being back until after Labor Day.

He may have had a CG auxiliary "courtesy inspection". They give you a
sticker showing that you have had a recent safety check, with the idea
it may reduce the chance that you will be detained and boarded for an
inspection at some less convenient time. The CG boards very few
sailboats for inspections anyway, figuring that sailors tend to be
more knowledgeable and observant of rules than folks in Sea Rays and
Cigarettes.

The CG is also rolling out the "star" rating system. I know it's in effect
in Alaska, and there's an information line open in Northern Cal. I don't
know if it's anywhere else (http://www.mxak.org/fivestar/5star.htm). Of
course, you have to have an actual license to get the rating, which he
doesn't have. I seriously doubt his got an offically inspected vessel, other
than the courtesy inspection you mention. The courtesy inspection is a
no-fault inspection.

FYI, they do board S/Vs out here a bit more often, but certainly not as
often as the power boats. I just missed getting boarded last year. The cat I
was on had been boarded the week before. Apparently, the Coasties are doing
a pattern around the bay for these boarding.. at least that's the
scuttlebutt.

Aren't you the guy who just a few years ago peppered alt.sailing and
other like newsgroups with posting after posting to the effect that
you believed B's to be shoddily constructed, that B's don't sail well,
and that they're otherwise a ****ty product, etc., etc., etc., and
that, above all, you never would deign to own one?

Oh, why don't you two lovers get a room or something.

Joe would have been better off giving it up. He's no seaman! And he sure doesn't know boats. Now, it's a two masted schooner. That's a thoroughly outdated and inefficient design. And another ugly and dangerous pilothouse? Why doesn't the putz just get a real motor vessel where a pilot house has a rightful place? I bet Suzanne doesn't wear combat boots when she dresses for a formal dance. If a woman (though she totally lacked discretion in her choice of a man) can can understand the simple concepts of from and function why can't Joe? Oh, that's right, I forgot, Joe's a retard!

Let's get serious here before you waste your money and your dream on such an ill-conceived design. I checked your web site out where you had sketch drawings for you schooner that had a container on deck amidships. Dumb! Just plain dumb! You're trying to turn a sailing ship into a motorized container ship. Stupid and dysfunctional. You don't want that kind of weight on deck on a sailboat. You want in as low as possible to act as ballast.

So please redesign that abortion so the container can be lowered into the bilge amidship with some kind of waterproof sliding deck doors to cover it all up. I know why you're thinking two-masted schooner because with the container on deck amidship there is no room for a mast there.

Think out of the box boy. The main mast can double as a cargo boom. The mast can be a bipod set amidship with a roller furling main sail. A traditional Marconi rig would be best for upwind work but a bipod mast with boomless roll up mainsail would to the weatherly job almost as well. You could even consider a ketch sailplain though not as efficient upwind it is better on a reach.

Rightful place?

See what 'nice' got you on "Red Cloud." I maintain had you been using an outside helm you would not have tried to continue to bash your way to weather. You would have turned tail and run before it (prior to destroying your rudder linkage) like you should have had you been able to gauge the true force of the elements. You have to be outside for this.

You would have not met schedule but you would not have sunk your vessel either. And it's all because you were sequestered in your 'comfy' pilot house. Ask yourself what is more important. Being comfortable or being safe?

You would have turned tail and run before it (prior to destroying your rudder linkage) like you should have had you been able to gauge the true force of the elements. You have to be outside for this.


Neal I was all over the deck and knew the true force of the elements.
These waves were very close together with high peaks that would
explode on you. Three sister type waves that were combos of a 15 ft
set out of the NE and 30's out of the NW. Top that with a 4 kt current
heading directly N into the sets. Had I ran on a jib (A 25% bullit
proff stay) I know I would have been pooped from astern...often.

RedCloud had more of a hard dodger than a true pilot house.

You would have not met schedule but you would not have sunk your vessel either. And it's all because you were sequestered in your 'comfy' pilot house. Ask yourself what is more important. Being comfortable or being safe?


Cant I just have both?

Joe, don't you understand that by actually getting out into a real sea
you did more than that pompous clown ever did? Your mission failed and
so did those of a lot of great sailors who returned for success. He
can't stand that you already did more than he ever could and have the
resolve to try again. He can't stand that you have the resources. He
can't stand that you had sex this year. He can't stand ANYONE who's
enjoying life and the water more than he, which is why he really can't
stand anyone.

Don't even bother with him, Joe. He's a small man who once owned a
small boat and never committed to anything or anyone.

Keep up your efforts. That moron's obvious jealousy and self loathing
is just another perk!


Cheers,

Right...The Eagle was pre- **** poor.


The Eagle was originally called the "Horst Wessel", named after a Nazi
activist, and designed as a German training boat prior to WWII.
