Nope. You don't even know what a wake is...and you proved it.

Wakes are backwards in the matrix.

I see... can you even see 5?


The lazy sheet on the jenny looks taut,
the fender on the sidedeck is very poor seamanship,
I cannot figure out what that pile of string on the coachroof is
I'm surprised at the level of heel in such a light breeze
the belly of the main seems too far forward
The jenny car is too far forward
Is the topping lift too tight?

The fender on deck is certainly "not" very poor seamanship. Wrong.
You can't figure out the pile of "string" even after I identified it?
Level of heel is correct as she's just to put the boat to starboard so the sun
would be abeam. So wrong again.

Wrong and wrong again. There are OBVIOUS errors. So far you people list things
that you can't certain of.
Very depressing indeed.

I happen to like cartoons,

No surprise there! You also like trawlers better than sailboats.

I decline to look. I prefer to look at pictures of good sailors and note what they have done to get their vessels to respond. Looking at pictures of Bob's and Neal's boats is like looking at cartoons on Saturday morning.

There's a good way to look at it. I happen to like cartoons, but the Crapton and Bubbles are rarely funny.

Yes, actually it is. Fenders should be stowed unless you're
using them or getting ready to use them.

We were. We were only out for an afternoon sail...a couple of hours. No need to
stow fenders and they're not in the way or impeding the operation of the boat.

I agree with you on some points. The pile of string must be a jenny or
main halyard but he's made it up in way that is not good seamanship. The
fender is very bad and shows pure laziness -an anathema to a real
sailor. The mainsheet is way too tight and traveler positioned badly.
The helm is not paying attention to what is going on. The section foot
of the main is too flat. looks like a major lack of chafe protection on
those shrouds and screws. The lazy sheet _is_ tight. Life lines are
slack. Other ropes are cheesed (cheezing is for port only). Lazy jacks
have not been taken down along boom.

Gosh that's 11!

Outside of the course change, which I had to give you, you've yet to list a
single serious error, even though I see them clearly in the photo.
Fender? Lazy jacks? You gotta be kidding!
I thought you "know how sails behave?"
Look again.
