Geoff54 liked post by arvicola-amphibius On thread : Crash jibe buffer

I made a boom brake out of some rope and one of those belaying cleats you can buy in a shop that sell gear for abseiling and mountaineering. It is alloy and shaped like a figure 8 and a good one...

I think that Smackdaddy is actually the Scarlet Pimpernel, or perhaps just Bartleby the Scribbler, unless perhaps he is just a big old Moby Dick! Edit to add: I have also gotten some nice sea...

Geoff54 liked post by chef2sail On thread : Lesson from Sandy

What seems to have occured in Sandy posts is the mentality of some on SN to snap judge others for decisions that they are making while under the gun of this storm. If you notice most of the most...

Also, while you are at it, I suggest having separate "Port Cabin Lights" and "Stbd Cabin Lights" breakers. That way if you trip one, you won't be completely in the dark.

All due respect Mr. Parrot, I'm a vegetarian. If you don't know how to cook or eat vegetarian than you will make comments like the above. In fact, some vegetarians don't have very good diets. ...

Eyes shut, mouth wide open, brain focused inwards. Posts like this make you, Mr. Parrot seem rather naive, young or both. Perhaps you did not know that most of the rest of the world eats a lot...

Just a quick one to clarify a couple of things. Indeed, it IS only the internet, and yes, I have been sailing a lot lately. My beef? Heavy handed moderation that doesn't understand the difference...

You know, when I first started Sailnet, I was pretty negative on a lot of these types of threads. I still highly encourage caution from both parties. However, after many years of sailing and being...

The short version is that if the people racing are decent I'm going out of my way to be decent also. When I'm racing I'm going to go out of my way to communicate politely to non-racers (when I can -...

You know, it is pretty impressive that we've all argued for 139 posts and no one has gone super-nova or gotten banned. I don't think anyone has even been Mod-Edited. Are we mature or what?

Locally, every race has to be USCG permitted. There's a yearly meeting to sort out issues, propose changes, etc... no races are just set up and 'run'. This would be highly frowned apon and shut down...
