Hi, again :{))
"Wilbur Hubbard" wrote in message anews.com... Wrong, Dumbo! You show what type of sailor YOU are with the above dunderheadedness. (Can you say 'fair weather sailor') It just so happens some us sail in gale or near gale conditions. Under those conditions external halyards are slapping all over the freaking place when sails are raised. It becomes even more of a whipfest when lowering the sails and you know, Bruce, what goes up must come down. Duh! Everybody with those pile of junk triangular mast loops will end up with a halyard tangled in them when dousing sail. And, they will be stuck at the worst time with flogging, flailing, out of control sails when they least want or need it. This will require a trip up the mast CAUSED BY THE VERY STEPS that are supposed to make it less likely that one will need to ascend the mast under emergency conditions. Dumb, stupid, lame and bordering on the pathetic, I say. Speaking of pathetic... I have well over 100# of mainsail. It's heavy enough that even jumping I can't pull up the last foot or so; I winch it before cleating off, rather than just tensioning the halyard. I CONTROL the line as I flake the sail. That means I let it slip through my (bare) hand while I have my hand on the sail to control how it falls. There is NO slack in the halyard, let alone enough to go around a step. And, you've not been paying attention, either. I only want _1_ more, so I can stand at the top of the mast. If the conditions were so severe as to cause my otherwise-taut (I keep it taut when I've lowered the sail, and the weight of the sail keeps it reasonably taut as I'm lowering it) halyard to managed to navigate a 5" (not counting the half-depth mast) step to foul on it, at (you work out the math; the step will be about 2.5' down from the pulley exit, which is about 1" off center, and the mast has an 8" cross section) a reasonably broad angle. Carry that angle down even half (considering the possibility of "catenary" due to the wind, which would have to be abeam [thus providing a gravity equivalent so that the theory is similar when turned 90*], unlikely when stowing sails), and it is probably close to the shroud. Ain't gonna happen :{)) So, I conclude that the massive sail on that yacht of yours is more than you can handle by controlling the halyard, and so you use folding steps that only a child's shod foot can fit within (never mind the lack of a means of not sliding off the side if you got the least bit of lift causing that pitiful little edge on the plate they give you for safety to be meangless). Maybe Jessica would come sail with you and handle that chore for you, and you'd have this lovely, flaked, sail without burgeoning your tender little hands.... L8R Skip, down from the top of the mast today, stopping in the middle just for fun (to measure how far that halyard would have to fly to get around my step, of course!) |

Please don't be envious of how my boat shines and Flying Pig is sort of all dull and chalky looking. Wilbur Hubbard I see you took off that fancy rig for lifting/storing the dinghy. I see you also got another new engine (well, at least there's a white one in this, and the others I see are black). And made a LOT of topsides improvements since seen in the yard when you were doing some other work (apparently redoing the stripe at the top and other trim items which hadn't been done in your original yard shots). The paint job, and all the improvements, especially cosmetic ones, make her look just like she must have 20 or 30 years ago! Taking off the name was a good idea, too... Come to think of it, it looks so good that it could be used in a brochure!

Wilbur Hubbard I see you took off that fancy rig for lifting/storing the dinghy. I see you also got another new engine (well, at least there's a white one in this, and the others I see are black). You got things confused. The picture on top is the OLD picture from several years ago. The ones down below are the new pictures. And made a LOT of topsides improvements since seen in the yard when you were doing some other work (apparently redoing the stripe at the top and other trim items which hadn't been done in your original yard shots). Yes, I've been sanding and painting. Still have some to go but the weather has been too windy for much work standing in the dinghy and trying to sand and paint so I'm biding my time. It will calm down soon enough. The paint job, and all the improvements, especially cosmetic ones, make her look just like she must have 20 or 30 years ago! Taking off the name was a good idea, too... The name is still on the topsides. People have to know what boat is sailing past them so fast. . . Come to think of it, it looks so good that it could be used in a brochure! Thanks for the compliment. I like a boat that looks simple and uncluttered. You will note the newer photos look less cluttered than the older one at the top. Wilbur Hubbard |

Now, you're gonna get it since I have some typing time . . .

That means I let it slip through my (bare) hand while I have my hand on the sail to control how it falls. There is NO slack in the halyard, let alone enough to go around a step. It sounds to me like you need to lubricate the sail slugs or the sail track. It shouldn't be that difficult to raise the mainsail. And, here's a trick for you since you apparently have not learned it yourself. Raise the mainsail as far as you can by strength alone - do not jump up and down. Then take a wrap or two around the cleat and PULL OUT on the halyard. This will leverage it up to the top (provided the boom goose neck isn't fixed). Then cleat off the halyard, and push down on the boom at the gooseneck and tie and cleat the downhaul line. Your method of lowering the mainsail and letting the halyard slide through your fingers will result in a significant belly in the halyard that in any kind of a stiff wind will be flopping all over the place due to wind and seas and this belly is what gets tangled in the crappy mast steps you have installed. And, you've not been paying attention, either. I only want _1_ more, so I can stand at the top of the mast. If the conditions were so severe as to cause my otherwise-taut (I keep it taut when I've lowered the sail, and the weight of the sail keeps it reasonably taut as I'm lowering it) halyard to managed to navigate a 5" (not counting the half-depth mast) step to foul on it, at (you work out the math; the step will be about 2.5' down from the pulley exit, which is about 1" off center, and the mast has an 8" cross section) a reasonably broad angle.

Ain't gonna happen :{)) It will foul eventually - don't be so naive. And, when it fouls there's gonna be hell to pay. BELIEVE IT. If something bad can happen, it will happen. That's Murphy's law. So much discussion about the proposed TOP mast step when you have a series of lower ones that will give you nothing but trouble. Boy, Skippy, you need to look at the whole picture. So, I conclude that the massive sail on that yacht of yours is more than you can handle by controlling the halyard, and so you use folding steps that only a child's shod foot can fit within (never mind the lack of a means of not sliding off the side if you got the least bit of lift causing that pitiful little edge on the plate they give you for safety to be meangless). My mast steps are 6" wide. Measure your foot, not length-wise but sideways. If your foot is over six inches wide then you're a freak. As for my foot slipping off the outer end, it's never happened and it's never come close to happening. And, even if it should happen, a wise climber NEVER allows himself to be supported by one appendage only. Maybe Jessica would come sail with you and handle that chore for you, and you'd have this lovely, flaked, sail without burgeoning your tender little hands.... Duh! Another sign that you are clueless. When anchoring under sail one doesn't waste time flaking the mainsail when dousing it. One lets it fall down on and around the boom any way it wishes to fall. Only after other necessary anchoring chores are completed does the captain or crew return to the mast and flake the sail adding gaskets as he flakes the sail from the outer end of the boom to the inner end. You, obviously don't quite have sail handling down to an art yet. Practice some more and come back when you have it down, please. L8R Skip, down from the top of the mast today, stopping in the middle just for fun (to measure how far that halyard would have to fly to get around my step, of course!) As he ignores in his arrogance the pile of junk steps he's used to get up to the top. LOL! Skippy, you're a real hoot. Wilbur Hubbard |

Wilbur, Wilbur...
Jessica must have made you go soft. The below is nothing as compared to some of your earlier works. Wilbur, I thought I knew ye... It's so insipid I can't even give you the usual satire points, let alone riposte your egregious mistakes in your encyclopedic knowledge of us and our fine home.. Who are you, and what have you done with Wilbur???

When Skippy has no valid response for the many valid points I made concerning sail handling, it just might indicate Skippy has no defense for the INVALID points he has proffered as stand operating procedure. As for work mode, YES! Start by compiling a long list of lubberly items you carry aboard - items which do little more than require your constant attention because of maintenance issues which keep you from learning the basics such as navigation and sail handling. After you have completed the list, give serious consideration to lightening the "Flying Pig" by several thousand pounds by removing said items and gracing a nearby dumpster with them. Simplify, simplify, simplify. And, while you are working hard you can send Lydia down to the Keys where I shall be happy to give her a few sailing lessons so she can teach you how it SHOULD be done on a lightened, simplified and faster "Flying Pig." I'll even be pleased to give her an informal class on plotting a course that takes advantage of wind and current instead of a course that actually has the wind and current working against the hapless occupants of aforementioned cruising yacht.

Wilbur Hubbard Promises, promises. The last time we spoke of being in your area, you disavowed any promises of sailing, with or without either of us, limiting it to a friendly beer. Get your stories straight :{)) As to the project list, just as was the time in SSI, my projects, having kept up with my chores aboard, are short (other than the bottom job, which will be pretty labor intensive, as I'm going to make it naked before I put on whatever critter-killer I decide on). Her chores, which, once started, seem to expand exponentially, have already involved me about half the time, so I'm sure I'll be doing half her work while I finish (or have finished, already) mine. THEN, we'll both come down and sail with you, as I've gotten the first major chore, that of getting a car, out of the way... Oh, ya, you'll have to mail us (which I'm sure you know how to do as I've never concealed my address), rather than here, cuz I know you'd rather not have folks know how to reach you. Just as in several other folks who like to remain unknown but who communicate with me directly, I'll protect that with/for you. Looking forward to meeting you...
