ian, it appears they released from gael. seasons greetings and good panhandling. Well I'll take that as misspelt, not as intended :-) Oddly enough, I am taking a haggis & all the traditional trimmings to somewhere in the Med for the new year. As to panhandling, I've belived a few plausible rogues before now. I have also helped some genuinely in need who have tried to repay me later when they could. My usual response to the honest ones is 'Pay it forward, not back'. Might do you the world of good to get outside and see who YOU can help. -- Ian Malcolm. London, ENGLAND.

.. 1) Does JAXAshby post useful, intelligent information in his responses to others? Yes, once in a while. 2) Does JAXAshby ever post replies to others that are NOT insulting and rude? Yes, but seldom. 3) Is there anyone on this newsgroup who thinks that JAXAshby makes it a better place? Define 'better'. -- Scott Vernon Plowville Pa _/)__/)_/)_ |

Is there a snubber or other shock absorber in there
somewhere? the author anchors on rope, using the cable for chafe protection. Read a copy of GOB on a newsstand. The author (and wife) uses 100' lengths (say they wish they had 50' lengths) hooked together with carbiners, hooked to a small amount of chain hooked to an anchor. Makes it easy to put out two anchors (in case the wind shifts) with a heavy kellet weight to eliminate the rode fouling the keel or rudder. |

1) Does JAXAshby post useful, intelligent information in his responses
to others? Not that I am aware of. Seems he is loaded with mis information and insults. Imature insults at that. Child like. 2) Does JAXAshby ever post replies to others that are NOT insulting and rude? If he has, I have missed it. 3) Is there anyone on this newsgroup who thinks that JAXAshby makes it a better place? I can't imagine any place that ol Jacks would make a better place. Can you imagine stuck with this man on a boat and haveing to listen to his insesecent rants? ekk I have said it before, and I shall say it again, when ever jax posts, it's as if someone farted in the room.

James :
I would like to ask three questions: 1) Does JAXAshby post useful, intelligent information in his responses to others? Yes. But so rarely that I can't think where I saw the last one like that. 2) Does JAXAshby ever post replies to others that are NOT insulting and rude? Again yes. But also again rarely. Still more often than the answer to question #1. 3) Is there anyone on this newsgroup who thinks that JAXAshby makes it a better place? No. I have been deleting all his messages for the last two years, it has made reading rec.boat.crusing a lot more fun. Earl Colby Pottinger -- I make public email sent to me!

or the invalidity of the concept of "hull speed", It is a perfectly useful prediction of an approximation of the most economical cruising speed in some cases. nonsence. cut your speed to 80% and you will save 35% on your fuel. cut by 50% and save by about 75%. fuel required goes up with drag, which goes up at the square of boat speed. Cut it to zero and save 100% |
