In that movie you list at the bottom of the page. Are you the lead
boat or the one that was doing the filming.

If you were logging 6.6 K how much wind did you have. The lead boat
seems to have only the main and genoa up but there doesn't look like
there is much in the way of swells.

Cheers,

Bruce
Hi Bruce,

Yeah, we are the lead boat. That's my sweetie. (If you can find a
copy of the current Mainsail, check the 26 section!)

My friends, Tracey and Charles are in an old Hunter 27 and Tracey was
doing the video with a Blackberry. (She loves that evil little thing)

They called out the speed from their Speedometer (mechanical) so the
6.6 K claim MAY be taken with a mechanical grain of salt.
Or it may have been spot on. I've seen 6.8 on GPS a couple of times.

I kept heading up to keep some room between us (they were brand spanking
new sailors then) and not run away from the camera.

As I recall, the wind was about 12 to 15 - pretty steady.

We sail Lake Texoma, on the border of Texas and Oklahoma.
This is a flood control lake on the Red River Valley.
Lakes, even 90,000 surface acres, don't have much swell.

Really beautiful work. You have a good touch.

Thank you, Wally.
I haven't figured out how to show the interior bright work yet.
It just doesn't show in photos.
The flat panels are satin finish varnish, with gloss trim.
Looks pretty snarky in person, but ho-hum in photos.
So drop by some time and take a peek?

ROFLOL!

So, in addition to all your other charming attributes, you're also an
ethnic hater and a racist.

I'm still wondering, Willie...do you dump the raw sewage from your head
directly into the water? I doubt you use a holding tank and pump-out
station, because you might have to pay something for the privilege. Do
you
raid trash cans for food?



You sure seem to have one big scat fetish, HarryK! LOL!




Uh-huh. My feeling is that you are just the sort of guy who dumps his
dumps right into the water. You do, right?



Yes, there is water in the toilette. It's no fun cleaning skid marks off a
dry bowl. . .

And, just what makes you think I'd go through all that trouble? It's far
simpler and much more fun to just **** in a paper bag, carry it ashore and
dump the contents in somebody's front yard. Heck, then the moron lubber
blames his neighbor for letting their dog **** in his yard and it starts a
big feud between lubbers. I enjoy sitting way out in the anchorage listening
to the guns blasting away in the background. ROFLOL! Pretty soon, I'll have
the entire neighborhood to myself. ;-)

I doubt you are let ashore at many places. There's probably photos of
you and your derelict boat circulating, along with a "Do not let ashore"
warning.

IMPRESSIVE AND A WELCOME SIGHT . . .

That is indeed, a well-kept little yacht. Pride of ownership in apparent. I
particularly like the way you mounted the instruments so they swing out to
be viewed from the cockpit. The name and graphics are very fetching. The
exterior brightwork is outstanding. The cleanliness is superb. The
organization is well above average. Cabin-top traveler is practical and
functional.

Thank you, Wilbur.
I take that kindly.

The wood had been let go for way too long.
Cetol - Natural Teak on the exterior wood.
Beautiful stuff, huh?
And I'm trying out some automotive UV protection spray to help it last longer.


The name graphics I did myself.
Took about a week to draw it up the way I wanted and had the local vinyl
cutter make a set.


Things _I_ m not happy with (yet)...

The stock single-line reefing system is almost unworkable.
I need to get some pulleys where the fairleads are on the mast and try again.

As it is now, I have the reefing line run through the clew end only and use the
cunningham (8:1) to haul down the tack. It works well, but means going to the
mast to set the cunningham. Work in progress...


Things I don't like a

1) excessive beam for the LWL (must have a very choppy ride and a bit slow
to weather)

I like a beamy boat!
But my tastes in hull-form and maiden-form are not necessarily the same!


A bit of heave in a BIG chop, true, but a nice easy motion.
Not sharp at all.

And not slow to weather either.

In fact, with the new main sail, she points higher than I expected.
By GPS she can make 2.5 knots at 30 degrees off!
Add 8 degrees leeway on the ground track.
So she can pinch up if need be.

45 off, it's hull speed in 12 mph wind or better

Catalina calls her a "performance cruiser".


2) some of the more valuable space in the boat taken up with the head (I'd
gut it and make a library/chart table/storage out of it.

The new 250/270/280 etc all have this kind of head arrangement now.
The musty old V-berth arrangement is no longer used.
Heck, I couldn't fit in most of them anyway, so no loss here.

A porta-potti is
legal for that size boat and bathing can be done in the cockpit. Why
allocate some of the most valuable space in a boat to a place one only uses
once or twice a day?)

Girls...
Those soft, shapely, all-too-sensible of their privacy creatures?
I like having them aboard.
Keeps me young at heart!

I like your thoughts on this!!

Where do you sail? :-)

I'm sure that Capt. Wil is willing to make some accommodation for
women who he takes sailing. :-)

Ok, so I have a sailing question about anchors... obviously there
are
different anchors for different situations, but you don't
necessarily
know what you're going to find when you go someplace? So, how do you
decide what anchor to take with you? Clearly, as you said, you can
take two (or three?) but they must eventually get kind of heavy... I
guess there must be guides, but what if you're going to visit
several
places and they're all different?

Hopefully, this question is good enough for Justin! Sheesh...

Take them all!

And in the end, weight counts.

Hi Richard, Well, I guess I was concerned that it would be alot of
space and weight. Aren't there anchors that overlap as far as use
goes?

Yes on space and weight. The Rodes especially. I have three now -
250 to 300 feet each. AND chain (need more of that still)

That's ALOT of rope!! You must have a pretty big boat! Do tell...


Not really for the overlap...

A Danforth is good with mud and sand.
But it's not great in rocks.

Like Wilbur pointed out, a Herrschoff pattern (and a heavy Navy pattern)
work well in rocky crags.

Fishermen use a mushroom type, but I have no use for that on a sailboat.

I was just looking up anchor types... How about a Bruce... but then
you'd have to import it from Thailand! LOL (sorry Bruce...)


Geeze woman. Weren't you paying attention when the guy on rec.boats was
trying to teach you about anchors?

I've only looked at that section. There's way to many posts to sort
through. I thought I was Capt. Wil???


We know you are Nom De plume. If you think you are Capt. Wil, then maybe you
are him too.
Waldo

I think you're over thinking this stuff. Believe what you want!

Nom De Plume is an author's pseudonym, so I have no idea who you think
I am.
