Gentlemen, Gentlemen, please lighten up.

There was no obvious attemp at plagarization.

Nowadays we all cut and paste things we find on the web as
explanations. Seldom, unless it is portrayed as one's own writing,
which this clearly did not, does anyone give the source.

Yes, perhaps each item should give credit, but does this particular
situation really warrant such emotion. Besides NE sailboat is a
frequent poster. He never claims to be an expert.

I like that quote about the Fastnet race that Bob has posted a few times so
much that I've put an excerpt on a page of my web site with some thoughts of
my own:

Few things I've read say so much about the nature of the sea and sailing on
it.

I like your sentiments. I tell my students that I know it sounds
counter-intuitive, but you'll find that if there's something you need to do
urgently on a sailboat, such as put her in reverse or turn sharply, slow
down rather than speed up. There will be far less damage when you hit
whatever it is you're intending to avoid.

It's not clear to me that he was referring to a Galway Hooker. I think a
"hooker" in British usage might be any funky, traditional craft or modest,
handy boat. If anyone across the pond can enlighten us on this point, I
would appreciated it.

I'm a great admirer of the Galway Hooker type though. Developments of
these craft by the Boston Irish fisherman were renowned for their
seaworthiness and influenced the thinking of a naval architect named Collins
who worked to develop a safer type of fishing schooner due to excessive loss
of life in the industry. The hull characteristics we now associate with New
England fishing schooners thus trace their lineage back to these boats.
These developments in turn influenced smaller craft such as the Friendship
Sloop. There may be no traditional type that has had as much influence on
American vessels.

If it was a Galway Hooker that Burrows saw, there are few tradittional boats
better suited to taking your family across the Irish Sea on a night like
that.

I believe that the racing boats of the time were just as seaworthy as
traditinonal craft and perhaps more so. Many did quite well in the storm
and some arrived surprised that there had been any casualties. Generally,
the higher the speed they maintained, the less trouble they had. This takes
a lot out of the crew so the seaworthiness of the racing type in heavy
weather may depend on a large crew that can rotate helmsmen often enough to
keep them fresh.

Danger at sea quote
 

The Galway Hooker was an 18th century development; a boat constructed with
the specific needs of the fishermen of the West in mind which quickly became
their very own. The Galway Hooker is a unique variation, developed for the
often unwieldy seas off the West Coast. It is most easily identified by the
sail formation, which is extremely distinctive and quite beautiful. It
consisted of a single mast with a main sail and two foresails. A derivation
of the Hooker was the Pucan, which had one main sail and one foresail, and
is also unique to Galway. Recently there has been a major revival, and
renewed interest in the Hooker, and the boats are still being painstakingly
constructed. The best place to see them? - Cruinniu na Mbad at Kinvara
annually - the sight of twenty odd hookers on the bay will take your breath
away!

Charlie,, you stupid F'n a hole.

I looked up the link that was posted in the message before mine. Since the
link was there, but not posted, I figured I'd just copy and post the info.

No big deal. Just trying to help out. Make it easier to follow the link.


But that isn't good enough for an A hole like you. What a jerk!

People like you should be banned from this group for being annoying.

Mr Knows everything.

Are you this annoying in your everyday life? If so ... kill yourself and do
the world a favor.


I can't believe you can be this big a jerk.

No, you used someone else's work without giving proper credit or

try and appear as if you knew something. It's quite clear you don't know

It is hopeless. You are one of the biggest A holes I have ever come across.

In the future, whenever you see a post from me ... do not even think about
responding.

You are in my "Biggest A holes on Earth" file.

I imagine anyone following this thread can easily see who is a jerk (and a
plagerist) without any guidance.
