Re: A "Simple" Boat

You bet.
Lots of boats have been re-rigged to junk.
Blondie Hasler, for instance, converted his Folkboat JESTER
and tested it and wrote about it in a scientific manner.
His re-rigged boat placed...

Re: A "Simple" Boat

I've always been attracted to "different."
But "ugly"?
I'm hurt :(
But then, I prefer VWs to Porsches.




Very true.
Good for the buyer, anyway.

Re: A "Simple" Boat

Yes, solar is sweet.
(I can't wait to see it become mainstream on land, too!)
We built our boat with solar in mind from the start,
with LEDs everywhere and minimal electrical loads.
Solar plus...

Re: A "Simple" Boat

Everyone draws the line at a different place, it seems.
Mine is a long way from yours,
but I agree with you on the television.

That's a good-looking boat, Troppo.
Nice solar panel...

Re: A "Simple" Boat

It was discovering the junk rig
and learning about it through Hasler's book
(and van Loan's also, if I remembered that name correctly)
that convinced me that I could build our own cruiser.
I was...

Is that your version of an apology
for taking the time to falsely accuse me
of intruding the word "worship"?
If it was important enough to rebuke me for it,
surely it's important enough to...

Seems like your rules are changing.
I thought no one was allowed to inconvenience
or even "effect" anyone else by their decisions.

It would be great if folks could respond to the points being offered.
For instance, what about people who carry EPIRBs,
which are designed, sold, and carried
for the express purpose of asking for...

Your opinion is fine.
Publicly calling others "hypocrites" is beyond opinion-
it is slander.

Re: A "Simple" Boat

For disagreeing?
Never.
For public insults and denigration?
You bet.

No doubt you also denigrate those who use an EPIRB
to call for help from fellow cruisers
who had the forethought to...

Re: A "Simple" Boat

This is one of those statements
that sound wise at first hearing
but which fail to support a closer look.

Do you maintain that same strict criterion
for those who carry EPIRBs?

Re: A "Simple" Boat

Defending friends from self-righteous malice
is not "worshipping them."
If someone advocates motorcycle travel,
does that mean it's hypocrisy for him to ever drive a car?
Are *you* a hypocrite...

Maybe we can fall in friend, Lass ;)

is both a privilege and an honour.

Re: A "Simple" Boat

Not that asking for a tow
would be unseamanlike or hypocritical,
but exactly when and where did this happen?
Did you hear the VHF call with your own ears?
Or are you denigrating two fine people...

Just as you like, Celestialsailor.
Be sure and show us the video of you
sailing past Cape Horn to starboard
in your self-built 29-foot wooden, engineless yacht.

Re: A "Simple" Boat

That sounds like a good thing.
In my opinion, over-crowded anchorages,
over-touristed villages,
the sound of motors blanketing the cries of the birds
are serious obstacles to the pleasure and...

It was the Pardey books and videos

that cruising was a safe, exciting, accessible,
and adequately comfortable activity.

That's an odd comment.
I would not presume to predict your preferences

Re: A "Simple" Boat

Thanks, Ann and Mike.
That's the difference between theory and experience.
I've never heard of using solar panels as shade.
Nice!

How is that working out for you, Mike?
No doubt it depends a lot on where you cruise,
but as a good anchorage is a sheltered anchorage (generally)
I've always thought that the needs of the boat ...

Re: a 'simple" boat

This is the heart of the question, isn't it?
And of the definition of 'simple'.
If I understand it and can maintain and repair it,
then it's simple.
