Re: Listen Lurkers

This coming from the guy who, after I did post, sent me private messages containing insults and personal attacks. Here's a way to increase participation - don't be a dick.

Re: Small Sailboats - Trailering

This is accurate. I've owned both the MacGregor 21 and a Catalina 22. I bought the Catalina because the Mac cabin was far too small to use in any practical way. Most Catalina 22s have a...

Re: Marina del Rey to San Diego needed ASAP

I wish I would have noticed this posting sooner - I don't have the extensive experience you were looking for, but that sounds like it would have been a great trip.

Re: Ramp launching a Catalina 22

I have a 21 foot boat that I launch and retrieve after every sail in the same fashion you describe above. Personally, I think the Catalina 22 is the ideal boat for doing just that and it may very...

Re: Atlantic Delivery

So, do I take the blue pill or the red pill? I can never remember.

Re: Atlantic Delivery

First, I've made no passages and took up sailing only very recently at relatively late age. With that context in mind, one thing that I find very interesting about this thread and Mr. Boatman's...

Re: Atlantic Delivery

Note that it said "problem with the main and unable to raise it, or torn..." Did a subsequent post state that he was unable to raise the main without engines? I may have missed it, but I thought...

Re: Atlantic Delivery

Nobody on this thread thinks it is funny that he is having problems out in the open. Nobody. So it seems quite unnecessary for you to make such a comment. I don't know the man except for posts on...

Re: Atlantic Delivery

I thought there might have been something on Spot that did the work for you (because math is hard) - in any event, I calculated that between 1:43 and 2:12 he had traveled 2.724km - or 1.6926 miles...

Re: Atlantic Delivery

How can you tell he is moving at 3kts? I've looked at the Spot tracking and I do not see that information. Are you calculating it using the long/lat and time of the position v. the long/lat and...

Re: Where Do You Buy A New Mast?

Re: Where Do You Buy A New Mast?

There should have been a wire running from the top of the mast to the bow and another wire running from the top of the mast to the transom. Those are the fore and aft stays. There should also be...

Re: Do sailors drink too much?

I just started sailing recently. I drank too much before I was a sailor. Perhaps that's why I started sailing - to be in a comfortable crowd.

Don't you think the "sailors drink too much" stigma...

Re: My first boat ... a Jeanneau 50?

If you are measuring wind in miles per gallon over there in South Carolina, that certainly doesn't sound like very much fun.

Re: seasick novelist has some questions

Eve,

I think what several people are suggesting (some overtly and some overflowing with sarcasm) is that part of your research should be to live it and I tend to agree. How can you dive into...

Re: seasick novelist has some questions

To add two more cents in here - you mentioned that one of the three young sailors was either in a wheel chair or handicapped in some manner and that she would be sailing the boat while the other two...

Re: seasick novelist has some questions

I suggest googling a variety of sailboats until you find the one you have a mental picture of - and then go from there. You should be able to post the picture or at least the make/model of your...
