If you enjoy sleeping to the sound of 100's of 50 ft. wind chimes, it can be relaxing. To me, not so much, I would rather spend the night in the flight path of the Atlanta Airport.

Oh - I'll have to take a picture of the Wind Harp they have up at Woodstock Academy. Beautiful sounds. Almost ethereal. |

I think you are using contradictory terms here. How could anyone who wears sandals and a kool tie be a pansy? He sounds like he must be a very smart, good looking, fashionable boater. He doesn't wear long pants on the boat does he? ![]() I actually do enjoy wind chimes that have a balanced tone, but halyards inside a mast, banging and clanging in discord does not have a harmonic sound to them. I would rather put my head in a bucket and beat it with a hammer, which explains a lot about me. ![]() So do you want me to mail you a kool tie and kool do rag? |

The rope halyard pinged on the outside of the aluminum mast. Nobody ever said word about it. I guess it didn't bother anyone. How does the wind get inside a mast? It doesn't, so what made the wires move? Casady |

Casady The boat rocking back and forth would cause the halyards to bang, then if they had not tightened all of the sheets and the booevane and topping lift, and centered the boom, you can have the boom flopping back and forth so it just adds to the non - harmonic crescendo. If the wind gets over 15 mph, you then will start to pick up the whistling sounds of the wind in the rigging. As I said, some people like it, me, not so much. I prefer the sound of waves or wakes from passing boats against the hull of my boat. Now that i find relaxing. |
