Quite a lot cut as I am interested in one specific statement I absolutely have evidence that a dismasting will cause a capsize in heavy seas. Pulling a boat over is quite, quite different than being on the ocean in heavy seas. Is there some evidence you would like to present that shows this isn't true? Have you ever been in a boat rolling from side to side in ocean conditions? I have.- Jim Are you stating specifically that a sailing boat that loses its mast is in more danger of capsizing then when the rig was in place?? I would appreciate it if you could elaborate on this as it was always my understanding that once the rig was either cut away or retrieved and lashed on deck the boat rode no worse then it had with the rig in place. It was always my thought that once the rig was gone that stability of the ballasted hull would become slightly better with no weight above the deck line. I emphasize that I have no interest in this discussion other then this single point which is probably of interest to most cruising sailors. Bruce-in-Bangkok (correct email address for reply) |
