It should be pointed out that Wilbur BROKE his boom by attemting to
install mid-boom sheeting on a rig not strong enough to allow it.

The Coronado has the minimum of everything. It was a price-point boat
aimed at entry level sailors of limited means. Sort of like the Yugo.

Wrong again!

It should be pointed out that I bought the boat with mid-boom sheeting
installed. It was installed at the factory as proven by the illustrations in
the owner's manual.

Wilbur Hubbard

Just as bad! Maybe WORSE! What sort of moronic landlubber would go to
sea with such a dangerous and deficient rig?

And after all that bragging about your "blue water capable" sailboat!

"Unlike non-sailors, I stress my boat to the max under sail. The
single-hander on the Allied and I used to sail out of West Palm Beach
regulary for a rowdy daysail in the Gulf Stream when small craft
advisories where in effect. And we didn't motor. We sailed out and we
sailed back."

You do that KNOWING that you have a seriously underbuilt and
misconfigured rig?

Sounds like Wilbur has a few things to learn about sailing and boats.

To paraphrase the old pilot: There are old seamen and bold seamen, but
no old, bold, seamen...

Cheers,

Bruce
