. .. Feel free to believe what you want. And also to believe the recommendations of references such as the Annapolis Book of Seamship Gantz? It's pretty clear that heaving to can be dangerous in heavy, breaking seas. As opposed to what? Sitting at home? Do better? Now, that's funny. Even if it didn't sink immediately, it would be completely uninhabitable, and since all the rigging would be gone, it would be unsailable. Wrong again Gantz. I'm not suggesting that the rigging and mast would be gone, merely tied securely. But even if they were, with storm anchor deployed, the boat wouldn't broach. As to your contention that it would roll and roll and roll and roll with a sea anchor deployed, once again, where is your evidence supporting that particular assertion? Apparently, you have none at all. (Seems like we have gone through this discussin several times before, yet you continue to post those preposterous speculations as fact. - Is there an echo on this ng? And, you base that on what experience JimE? Is there an echo in your head? Deploying a sea anchor is certainly a good idea. Don't worry, you won't have a chance if you take your Mac out in a storm. Despite Jim's rather bizarre assumptions about survivability in a Mac in heavy seas, the discussion did get me thinking about rigging. In other words, you're backing off your previous dogmatic position... Ummm.... this was a response to Bruce or did you bump your head on your Mac? Right. A response to Bruce. - Crawfishing on your earlier statements. It was unless you'd care to deny it. Reality, despite your best try, does intrude from time to time. Have a nice evening Gantz. Always do JimE. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |
