Jeeeeze. I had assumed that you had a motor boat.

Thats one of your problems lanod, your always assuming.


Your boat has a keel, fer cripes sake! It may have windage, but the keel
will resist the windage.

The marina is so shallow I have to pull my keel board up Lanod. So
you assumed again.

Hey! Don't blame me if you can't afford a proper slip!

I've already suggested a way for you to save money.




I often see clumsy oafs, like you, in our marina. They engage full
forward, and then full reverse. They seem to have no feel for the
boat's
handling at all.

Who said anything about full throttle forward or reverse Loanod?
another assumption?

You did, Eoj. You crashed into a neighbour's boat with enough force to
cause physical damage to their vessel. We've all seen people like you in
our marinas.

No sense of delicacy, no feeling for how the boat behaves, and a blind faith
in the power of the engine.

I recently saw a guy hit 5 boatsas he tried to park hi boat. At least he
hit them all fairly gently, and no real damage was done. He admitted that
it was the first time that he had sailed. What's your excuse?




So your between 3 story buildings, that funnel wind, in shallow water?
Wind hits you broadside going into your narrow slip huh?

Emmmm, that's not very far from the truth.




Now, we put the engine into neutral about 100 yards from the slip,

That must be nice to have a hundred yards to coast in and set up a
turn.

You should try it. Sailboats are good at it. Powerboats are not good at
it.




and just
glide in. The engine is rarely used at all after that, apart from the
final
burst astern.

OH MY GOD a BURST astern.... Call the Harbor master and chief
Yachtmaster.
How many tons do you stop with your burst astern Lanod?

What a stupid question!! The tonnage that is stopped is relative to the
horsepower available. I suspect that you have much more HP available than I
have.




When my younger son was only 9 years old he was able to do it to
perfection.
Maybe you should get some lessons???


Is he a physic yachtmaster like you?

You're drunk, aren't you?




Really, Joe, you are an embarrassement to real sailors. You are trying
to
park your boat as if it was a big powerboat.


It is. And its a big Sail boat. Thats why I always call it a Motor
Sailing Vessel. Nice solid floor boards to, how's about your boat.

Ask Boobie.
