Re: Interesting 'bluewater' test !! RTW

Not my intention to make him out a hero. Just trying to give him his dues as a sailor.

As for the race, if it does happen it will be done by the same kind of guys that do flips on motocross with...

Re: Interesting 'bluewater' test !! RTW

In as much as I feel I am strong, smart and charitable enough to care for my fellow man there is room in my world to look after a ne'er do well or 2.

I do give in and deck a loud mouth on...

The picture is a taken from this morning forecast of the southern ocean. Looks like just another day there,

I find it hard to comprehend how a solo sailor can take this on in a small...

Re: Interesting 'bluewater' test !! RTW

Sounds like a true masochist. Certainly a driven individual.

What can I say? I am a fan of cold toilet seats.

Interesting 'bluewater' test !! RTW

While a testament to actively dealing with heavy weather and the stability of the Contessa 32, it seems in line with my point.

Rolling a boat 360 or turning turtle is more than likely going to...

Re: Interesting 'bluewater' test !! RTW

The race under discussion is the longest to my knowledge.

Re: Interesting 'bluewater' test !! RTW

This continuing hope that the ability to right a boat after turning turtle is a saving grace is something of a false hope in my book. It is certainly not the single reason to sail a mono.

I do...

Re: Interesting 'bluewater' test !! RTW

Implying cowardice of a solo sailor that attempts to go RTW by way of the southern ocean is ludicrous to say the least. That voyage was not taken on a whim.

None of the entrants where cowards in...

Re: Interesting 'bluewater' test !! RTW

While the ongoing argument about the limits on boat choice for the race has gone on and on, I have not seen a post from a user intent on doing the race.

Re: Interesting 'bluewater' test !! RTW

I'm thinking he might have made the statement in jest. RTW non-stop is one hell of a commitment.

Not just in time and money.

Re: Interesting 'bluewater' test !! RTW

It is an invitation only race, from what I read. That being said if CF decided to sponsor, an invitation from the committee procured and Boaty would truly want to sail in it, I would chip in.
