Why women and sailing don't mix.
 

A recent posting by Rosalie B. solidified my opinion that women and sailing
just don't mix. It's a crying shame that some sailormen are burdened with
women that they will never be able to please but have to carry as a burden.

This is what I am referring to. Rosalie B. wrote: "I would have said a
smaller boat myself - either a CSY 33 or 37. But that's not what Bob
wanted, and the love of a specific boat isn't rational."

So, right away it seems that the poor man is viewed as irrational for
wanting the boat he wanted, not what she wanted. Right off the bat, a
source of contention?

And then she wrote this: "I find both sailing and fishing a little bit
boring. I go with Bob because I think he wants me to go, and I think he
needs me to go. I would be just as happy at home. BUT - if I go sailing, I
want a boat that is comfortable to live on, not just someplace to camp out
on the water."

Again the poor man's sailing is ruled by a spouse who doesn't even like
sailing. She finds it 'boring.' She only tags along because she thinks
she's wanted. She'd rather be at home but in lieu of home she wants a
floating home. While her loyalty is admirable, being a man myself, I think I
would quickly come to understand that she wasn't really too keen on sailing
and that she was doing it only because she thought I needed her. This would
do little to bolster my self-esteem and it would make me feel like I had to
carry the entire burden when sailing. How could I really enjoy sailing when
I knew my mate didn't enjoy it? How could I enjoy sailing when I had to sail
a floating home with a new problem to address every day just to make her
happy? Sort of ruins the experience for a man, doesn't it?

And she continues: "It's not that fixed a schedule - it is only that if we
don't go to a marina, one of us has to cook, and that's not going to be me.
So I try to plan so that we can go somewhere that Bob doesn't mind going and
I would like to see and where we can pull in and go to a restaurant for
dinner. A plan is not the same as a schedule."

A woman who doesn't cook? What's up with that? What good is a woman who
doesn't cook aboard a boat? The poor man! He must be a saint to put up with
what he puts up with. Even to the extent that he has to sail the boat to
places just because she wants to see them or to eat at a particular
restaurant. I couldn't live like that, could you?

Then there's this gem: "I don't like outboards (we have two), and I've never
claimed to be a sailor - pure or any other kind."

Imagine how the poor husband feels. He has a wife who proudly proclaims
she's no sailor. In other words the entire burden is his. Not only that, but
along with his woman comes a lot of baggage, so much so that one cannot see
overtaking vessels because of the large and high pile of stuff abaft the
helm that can't be seen over. Not only is this dangerous but it's
unnecessary if only the woman was a sailor. A sailor would not abide
dangerous conditions such as that, would they?

My intent is NOT to pick on Rosalie because, in many ways, she's a loyal and
remarkable woman. But, my intent is to simply point out how women and
sailing don't mix. It really is too bad that this is so often the case. Is
it any wonder that real men are so often found plying the oceans of the
world lone handing?

Naw, that's just Greg fooling around. He's been doing it for quite a while
now. For some reason he thinks it bothers me signing my name to his posts.
Kinda dumb when his name appears in the From: line, duh! Check out his
headers. He posts from alt. net. I use Octanews. Two completely different
news servers.

Even though I, Wilbur Hubbard, am a multi-millionaire, I didn't get that way
wasting money on two of anything when one will do. That's why I recently
sold my Swan 68. I turned a tidy profit on her as well . . .

I hope this helps.

Hey Dumbo!

If you are going to post as Gregory Hall try to remember to change
your signature block to Gregory otherwise you have just identified old
Greg as another of your sock puppets and now you'll have to go to the
bother of making a new one.

Seems kind of sick to me; Wilie-boy extolling the merits of his

O.K., you screwed up and forgot to change your signature and you got
caught. Stop making excuses, just say you're sorry for the mistake and
move on. And next time be a little more careful.

Multiple personalities aren't life threatening and they are treatable
so be of good heart and see your psychologist.

I ahve to agree most married guys with a boat are whipped. I would nt
say women have no place on boats Id say, "fat ignorant bitches" have
no buisness on board.

Ive met lots of qualified women who are great on board! Met a great
26 woman who was an AB on one of thoes big traditional sail boat. I
shook her had and it was a callased vise ! Smart...... strong.... way

My advise. dump the ignorant cows and date a women in her 20s. Ive
been dating a 23 yo and she is fun ! These "new women" grew up playing
soccer. lots are great jocks. I doubt shell ever turn into one of
thoes 50+ year old fat helpless cows i read about here. But who
cares... Il be dead by then

Exactly correct to the detriment of what sailing is really all about. And it
ain't floating some condo so you have all the conveniences of home along on
the trip. If you have to take all that crap with you to be happy then just
STAY home.

I have no knowledge of the body type of Rosalie B. but that's none of my
business anyway. She sounds like a typical woman of her age and quite set in
her ways. But she also sounds quite loyal and willing to help out her
husband which is laudable. What I do not think is helpful to a sailing
relationship is the way she makes it known that she sails more out of
loyalty than for any real love or even like of sailing.

If a woman did this to me I would find myself telling her to just stay home
then. I think I would enjoy myself more by myself because seeing her around
the boat would just be a reminder that she's not really very happy to be
there. This would make me unhappy myself. But, perhaps her husband doesn't
get those feelings or has other good reasons for wanting her company?

However, I think the attitude of Rosalie B. is very typical of most woman
who "bless" their men with their presence on their sailboats. I don't know
about you but if I don't have an enthusiastic partner then why bother having
a partner?

As for fat women, I have an aversion to them, too. Show me a fat woman and I
will show a woman who lacks self-esteem, has health problems, has
handicapped herself, has no will power and is undesirable sexually. Just not
my cup of tea. I feel so sorry for married men stuck with fat wives who
force them to take Viagra so they can "perform" without ever realizing that
the Viagra would never be needed provided a sexy, slender, fit, athletic
young woman was available. So the man gets (and accepts) the blame and is
accused of having erectile dysfunction because the woman is unenthusiastic,
obese and a turn-off. When will men grow a pair and render the lard?

Ive met lots of qualified women who are great on board! Met a great
26 woman who was an AB on one of thoes big traditional sail boat. I
shook her ha[n]d and it was a callased vise ! Smart...... strong.... way
cute and able...

That's the kind of woman every good captain wants to have aboard a vessel.
And I bet she likes to cook and is a good cook as well. But the main thing
is she's there because she wants to be there and that attitude goes a long
way towards making a man feel good about being there, too.

My advise. dump the ignorant cows and date a women in her 20s. Ive
been dating a 23 yo and she is fun ! These "new women" grew up playing
soccer. lots are great jocks. I doubt shell ever turn into one of
thoes 50+ year old fat helpless cows i read about here. But who
cares... Il be dead by then

Yes, if any older gentleman can find a young woman to play with he will get
a new lease on life whether aboard of ashore. I train with a younger woman
who is a triathlete. She can out run me and outswim me but I can outbike
her. I'm about four minutes faster than her in a 16K time trials and about
eight minutes faster in a 40K time trials. But her enthusiasm is contagious.
And her body is very stimulating just to look at it. I get disgusted looking
at old fat woman and sex becomes the furthest thing from my mind but with a
young, fit, athletic woman it puts lead in my pencil.


In conclusion, women DO have a place on a boat. Jus not the old fat
cows.....

I'd say, for the most part, woman have no place aboard a sailing vessel.
There are exceptions, however. The exceptions, by my standards, would be
young, fit, enthusiastic, competent, strong and sexy younger women. This
type enjoys working their body, sweating and overcoming problems. This type
loves to be sailing and she shows it. This type, after a hard days sail,
will crawl into your berth all rearing to go after one of the other great
pleasures in her life - unabashed enthusiastic sex. This type knows she
looks great naked and knows it turns a man on. Unfortunately this type is
one in a million.

What happened was - Bob decided that we would charter a boat because
he wanted to have a boat to sail down to the Virgin Islands, and
wanted to see if I would be OK with that. So we chartered a CSY (we
did a crewed charter) and he fell in love with the boat, and before I
had decided whether I wanted to go sailing or not, we (he) had already
bought the boat. He isn't going to get to sail down to the Virgin
Islands though unless he is willing to have at least one more person
as crew because I'm chicken to do it by ourselves. Or unless he
decides to go solo. But he doesn't want anyone else on the boat but
the two of us and I really don't think he wants to go by himself or he
would have done it by now..

He's done that kind of thing before. In the first 40 years of our
marriage he bought and restored two 1932 Plymouths, and we have toted
all that car stuff all over the country while he was in the Navy. Then
he decided to convert a regular car to run on batteries. So he did
that. He's got a million projects. I just let him do them - I don't
complain. I'm not whiney. I support him. But I certainly never
would have been interested in those things on my own.

Today, he put the cutlass bearing back on the boat, and I came down to
help him put the flange back on. He put ice packs on the shaft, and I
heated the flange up with a torch. He put it on inside the boat and I
hammered it in from the outside. Then we put the Max-Prop back on,
although it took us three or four tries to get it right. It needed
two people/four hands to do those things, and mine were there to do
them.

Exactly correct to the detriment of what sailing is really all about. And it
ain't floating some condo so you have all the conveniences of home along on
the trip. If you have to take all that crap with you to be happy then just
STAY home.

no buisness on board.

I have no knowledge of the body type of Rosalie B. but that's none of my
business anyway. She sounds like a typical woman of her age and quite set in
her ways. But she also sounds quite loyal and willing to help out her
husband which is laudable. What I do not think is helpful to a sailing
relationship is the way she makes it known that she sails more out of
loyalty than for any real love or even like of sailing.

If a woman did this to me I would find myself telling her to just stay home
then. I think I would enjoy myself more by myself because seeing her around
the boat would just be a reminder that she's not really very happy to be
there. This would make me unhappy myself. But, perhaps her husband doesn't
get those feelings or has other good reasons for wanting her company?

However, I think the attitude of Rosalie B. is very typical of most woman
who "bless" their men with their presence on their sailboats. I don't know
about you but if I don't have an enthusiastic partner then why bother having
a partner?

As for fat women, I have an aversion to them, too. Show me a fat woman and I
will show a woman who lacks self-esteem, has health problems, has
handicapped herself, has no will power and is undesirable sexually. Just not
my cup of tea. I feel so sorry for married men stuck with fat wives who
force them to take Viagra so they can "perform" without ever realizing that
the Viagra would never be needed provided a sexy, slender, fit, athletic
young woman was available. So the man gets (and accepts) the blame and is
accused of having erectile dysfunction because the woman is unenthusiastic,
obese and a turn-off. When will men grow a pair and render the lard?

Ive met lots of qualified women who are great on board! Met a great
26 woman who was an AB on one of thoes big traditional sail boat. I
shook her ha[n]d and it was a callased vise ! Smart...... strong.... way

That's the kind of woman every good captain wants to have aboard a vessel.
And I bet she likes to cook and is a good cook as well. But the main thing
is she's there because she wants to be there and that attitude goes a long
way towards making a man feel good about being there, too.

My advise. dump the ignorant cows and date a women in her 20s. Ive
been dating a 23 yo and she is fun ! These "new women" grew up playing
soccer. lots are great jocks. I doubt shell ever turn into one of
thoes 50+ year old fat helpless cows i read about here. But who

Yes, if any older gentleman can find a young woman to play with he will get
a new lease on life whether aboard of ashore. I train with a younger woman
who is a triathlete. She can out run me and outswim me but I can outbike
her. I'm about four minutes faster than her in a 16K time trials and about
eight minutes faster in a 40K time trials. But her enthusiasm is contagious.
And her body is very stimulating just to look at it. I get disgusted looking
at old fat woman and sex becomes the furthest thing from my mind but with a
young, fit, athletic woman it puts lead in my pencil.


In conclusion, women DO have a place on a boat. Jus not the old fat
cows.....

I'd say, for the most part, woman have no place aboard a sailing vessel.
There are exceptions, however. The exceptions, by my standards, would be
young, fit, enthusiastic, competent, strong and sexy younger women. This
type enjoys working their body, sweating and overcoming problems. This type
loves to be sailing and she shows it. This type, after a hard days sail,
will crawl into your berth all rearing to go after one of the other great
pleasures in her life - unabashed enthusiastic sex. This type knows she
looks great naked and knows it turns a man on. Unfortunately this type is
one in a million.

A recent posting by Rosalie B. solidified my opinion that women and sailing

women that they will never be able to please but have to carry as a burden.

This is what I am referring to. Rosalie B. wrote: "I would have said a
smaller boat myself - either a CSY 33 or 37. But that's not what Bob
wanted, and the love of a specific boat isn't rational."

So, right away it seems that the poor man is viewed as irrational for
wanting the boat he wanted, not what she wanted. Right off the bat, a
source of contention?

And then she wrote this: "I find both sailing and fishing a little bit

Again the poor man's sailing is ruled by a spouse who doesn't even like
sailing. She finds it 'boring.' She only tags along because she thinks
she's wanted. She'd rather be at home but in lieu of home she wants a
floating home. While her loyalty is admirable, being a man myself, I think I
would quickly come to understand that she wasn't really too keen on sailing
and that she was doing it only because she thought I needed her. This would
do little to bolster my self-esteem and it would make me feel like I had to
carry the entire burden when sailing. How could I really enjoy sailing when
I knew my mate didn't enjoy it? How could I enjoy sailing when I had to sail
a floating home with a new problem to address every day just to make her
happy? Sort of ruins the experience for a man, doesn't it?

And she continues: "It's not that fixed a schedule - it is only that if we
don't go to a marina, one of us has to cook, and that's not going to be me.
So I try to plan so that we can go somewhere that Bob doesn't mind going and
I would like to see and where we can pull in and go to a restaurant for
dinner. A plan is not the same as a schedule."

A woman who doesn't cook? What's up with that? What good is a woman who
doesn't cook aboard a boat? The poor man! He must be a saint to put up with
what he puts up with. Even to the extent that he has to sail the boat to
places just because she wants to see them or to eat at a particular
restaurant. I couldn't live like that, could you?

Then there's this gem: "I don't like outboards (we have two), and I've never
claimed to be a sailor - pure or any other kind."

Imagine how the poor husband feels. He has a wife who proudly proclaims
she's no sailor. In other words the entire burden is his. Not only that, but
along with his woman comes a lot of baggage, so much so that one cannot see
overtaking vessels because of the large and high pile of stuff abaft the
helm that can't be seen over. Not only is this dangerous but it's
unnecessary if only the woman was a sailor. A sailor would not abide
dangerous conditions such as that, would they?

My intent is NOT to pick on Rosalie because, in many ways, she's a loyal and
remarkable woman. But, my intent is to simply point out how women and
sailing don't mix. It really is too bad that this is so often the case. Is
it any wonder that real men are so often found plying the oceans of the
world lone handing?

As In Norse mythology, Freya is a goddess of love and fertility, and
the most beautiful and propitious of the goddesses, the patron goddess
of crops and birth and the symbol of sensuality and was called upon in
matters of love it sounds like an ideal name for a boat.

Particularly for those who are prone to carry young things wearing
string bikinis on the foredeck. At least until your Missus catches you

As usual Wilbur tgets it wrong again.

Women have been sailing on boats since boats were invented. Both
trading and whaling ships sailing out of New England frequently
carried the Captain's wife along. There were women sailing (albeit in
the guise of men) on Royal Navy ships during the Napoleonic wars.
Obviously the very early exploration voyages of the Pacific Island
natives must have carried women ... how else did they colonize the
newly discovered Islands? The Maori settlers in New Zealand brought
their wives. Eskimo women even have their own type of boats. If you
visit Europe and have a look at the channel barges you will find that
many have husband-wife crews.

It is possible to go on and on but why? The intelligent reader
understands while the fool will never learns.

One wonders about the vehemence with which Wilbur writes about women,
witness his tirades about Peggy, one of the most knowledgable people
posting about boat waste disposal, or his declamation above. It makes
one wonder where this antagonism comes from?

However, if one considers the lemon yellow toy boat with the mauve
interior and couples it with the obvious apathy toward women that
Wilbur so frequently evidences one can imagine at least one scenario.

As Rolf Harris, the Australian song writer and entertainer has it:

He's might like a rose,
He wears his sister's clothes,
We don't know what to call him, but,
We think he is one of those.




A fool who knows his foolishness is wise
at least to that extent, but a fool who
thinks himself wise is a fool indeed.

force them to take Viagra so they can "perform" without ever realizing
that
the Viagra would never be needed provided a sexy, slender, fit, athletic
young woman was available. So the man gets (and accepts) the blame and is
accused of having erectile dysfunction because the woman is
unenthusiastic,
obese and a turn-off. When will men grow a pair and render the lard?

Ive met lots of qualified women who are great on board! Met a great
26 woman who was an AB on one of thoes big traditional sail boat. I
shook her ha[n]d and it was a callased vise ! Smart...... strong....
way
cute and able...

That's the kind of woman every good captain wants to have aboard a
vessel.
And I bet she likes to cook and is a good cook as well. But the main
thing
is she's there because she wants to be there and that attitude goes a
long
way towards making a man feel good about being there, too.

My advise. dump the ignorant cows and date a women in her 20s. Ive
been dating a 23 yo and she is fun ! These "new women" grew up playing
soccer. lots are great jocks. I doubt shell ever turn into one of
thoes 50+ year old fat helpless cows i read about here. But who
cares... Il be dead by then

Yes, if any older gentleman can find a young woman to play with he will
get
a new lease on life whether aboard of ashore. I train with a younger
woman
who is a triathlete. She can out run me and outswim me but I can outbike
her. I'm about four minutes faster than her in a 16K time trials and
about
eight minutes faster in a 40K time trials. But her enthusiasm is
contagious.
And her body is very stimulating just to look at it. I get disgusted
looking
at old fat woman and sex becomes the furthest thing from my mind but with
a
young, fit, athletic woman it puts lead in my pencil.

In conclusion, women DO have a place on a boat. Jus not the old fat
cows.....

I'd say, for the most part, woman have no place aboard a sailing vessel.
There are exceptions, however. The exceptions, by my standards, would be
young, fit, enthusiastic, competent, strong and sexy younger women. This
type enjoys working their body, sweating and overcoming problems. This
type
loves to be sailing and she shows it. This type, after a hard days sail,
will crawl into your berth all rearing to go after one of the other great
pleasures in her life - unabashed enthusiastic sex. This type knows she
looks great naked and knows it turns a man on. Unfortunately this type is
one in a million.

Wilbur The Buffoon speaks! And the world listens?

But, pray tell, what would you - the owner of a lemon yellow boat with
a mauve interior do with a sexy young girl?

I mean Mauve? A manly color, right? One of your little "friends" down
to the Leather Bar must have turned you on to that colour scheme..
right?

A fool who knows his foolishness is wise
at least to that extent, but a fool who
thinks himself wise is a fool indeed.- Hide quoted text -

Bwahahaha Mauve and Urine yellow. You're kidding right ?

Why women and sailing don't mix.

It's a mix-n-match sockpuppet show. FWIW I think the original Crapton
is long gone, this is some wanna-be.

But it's been a long standing problem, Boobsprit used to mix up his
various "stage names" also.
