Default how necessary is a windlass

I can't imagine that having a good boat and proceeding at as fast as
possible to avoid bad weather would somehow be more dangerous.

Sorry, but I just don't understand the logic.



You don't understand it because it's ignorance that resides behind Bruce's
misconceptions. It's the old justification those who sail slowcoaches use so
they don't become upset at how they bought the wrong boat that is actually
less safe because it won't get out of its own way. While a fast boat like
mine is safe in a protected harbor a slowcoach like Bruce's will be in the
teeth of a storm and could well founder.

I'd love to hear the logic if he wants, but I guess he doesn't want.

With Bruce, it's more a matter of lack than want. ROFLOL.

You are certainly correct that your boat will be in port before mine
as your great voyage (documented with photos) is down the bay and
back.

The great Sailor - down the bay and back.

Cheers,

Ah, Willie-boy, the wonders of an active imagination.

Just sitting there your yellow anchor buoy has morphed into a fast
sailing boat. Amazing!

Gee Willie, I didn't know you had a racer. I thought it was just one
of those Tupperware, popped out of a mold, things built for the silly
people who just want to own a boat.


(are you sure that you have a racing boat, and not an anchor buoy?)
Cheers,

Bruce
