Re: Is Sailing Sexist?

As do insecure females when they are told they are smaller, weaker and less aggressive, on average of course. ;)

Re: Is Sailing Sexist?

And when "jameswilson29" said very similar things earlier in the thread, he had people jumping all over him. And his statements were far less provocative than these.

Is it only ok to quote medical...

Re: 3/8 npt to 5/8 barb

You are going to want to match the material of the hose barb adapter to whatever the 3/8 npt is mating to. 3/8 is not a typical thread size for bronze hardware so that's why it's hard to find. If...

Re: Distant Shores - Season 9 Preview

Thanks Paul!

That's really cool. I didn't know about the first few seasons. I think we've only seen a few episodes where you were sailing Two Step in the eastern Med. That must have been about...

Re: Distant Shores - Season 9 Preview

That's great news. I've been watching on Wealth TV here in the States. Do you know if they are going to be picking up the new season?

Re: Preview - Paragon's North Atlantic Adventure

Just saw Monique's blog post about your departure. Congratulations on pushing off! I assume you are in New York by now since yesterday was a perfect day to make the jump from AC.

Are you going to...

Ha! I often feel the same way about Fisheries Supply, especially on plumbing and hardware.

Re: Defender Spring Sale...not

Re: Smackdaddy Update

Don't know what to say other than I'm very sorry to hear about your loss.

Hang tough, Smack, you got this.

Re: How do you heave to with main sail alone?

It has a lot to do withe the kind of boat you have. If you have a lot of windage forward (like my Downeaster and a lot of "classic" looking boats have) then you can typically heave-to under reefed...

Re: Full or fin keel?

Being the "performance" is a subjective term, I would say liking a boat has a lot to do with performance, as defined by the boat owner.

Re: USCG Certificate of Documentation

Re: Newbe with no experience buys big boat

I know of at least four Downeasters that have circumnavigated and one guy I've talked to sails all around the south pacific islands on one. They're capable, but they are a lot of work and they ain't...

Re: Newbe with no experience buys big boat

No way! :) There is an Island Trader at the marina where I winter Argyle. Looking at that boat, I would guarantee I would smoke that guy (and I can't say that about many boats either). :D

Re: Newbe with no experience buys big boat

I don't think a leak in the hull/deck joint will cause saturation in the deck core unless there are other breaches into the core. I haven't done that project myself but I've seen and read about other...

Re: Are Boats Built in the 70's Just Too Tired

I certainly have some experience in this area. It's common knowledge among sailors that all boats need work, and that's a given. But boats of that age, an in your price an size range, will need...

Re: Why I like a full keel

Jeff H,

In your post above, you've just repeated what you said before, that you once caught a line in a full keeler. No one has said that this is impossible and no one has said that you were...

Re: What are your other passions?

Hey, I'm going to Photonics West in a couple of weeks! Are you involved with the conference?

Did you seriously take that picture of the galaxy? That is a really great shot. Is it Andromeda?

Ha! That was my first thought. Who has time for other "passions"? Oh yeah, people with newer boats than mine! :D

I don't really have time for much of anything else. In the summer time I'm sailing,...

Re: Why I like a full keel

You seem to be forgetting the fact that as the line slides along the bottom of the keel, the prop will be protected by keel structure under the prop, hence the term 'aperture' in which the prop...

Re: Why I like a full keel

Yes, it is far, far less likely to snag a line with a prop on a full keel than on a fin keel. That is true whether motoring or sailing. It is still possible to snag a prop, so you should steer clear...

Re: Why I like a full keel

So are you implying that you have just as much of a chance of catching a line in a fin keel boat as you have with a full keel boat?
