Abbreviated rules 07/28/2017
Underdawg did an excellent job of explaining the rules. Here's the simplified version: Don't insinuate Pedo. Warning and or timeout for a first offense. PermaFlick for any subsequent offenses Don't out members. See above for penalties. Caveat: if you have ever used your own real name or personal information here on the forums since, like, ever - it doesn't count and you are fair game. If you see spam posts, report it to the mods. We do not hang out in every thread 24/7 If you see any of the above, report it to the mods by hitting the Report button in the offending post. We do not take action for foul language, off-subject content, or abusive behavior unless it escalates to persistent stalking. There may be times that we might warn someone or flick someone for something particularly egregious. There is no standard, we will know it when we see it. If you continually report things that do not fall into rules #1 or 2 above, you may very well get a timeout yourself for annoying the Mods with repeated whining. Use your best judgement. Warnings, timeouts, suspensions and flicks are arbitrary and capricious. Deal with it. Welcome to anarchy. If you are a newbie, there are unwritten rules to adhere to. They will be explained to you soon enough.

Do rental companies in NA require any licenses/certificates to rent a boat or is it money only? In Europe the rental companies usually require much more and higher licenses from the renters than legally required to operate a boat in those countries. Add to that that rental boat are almost always insured. Contrary to this private boats can be operated with less or even without licenses. Taking this into account such a clause would make sense. Also i disagree with jamhass regarding the statistics. The overall percentage of crashes is relevant and not a percentage within a subset. The overall hazard is relevant regardless how many boats are operated privately or rented.

On IOS there is also a new update for the App available for download The boat name (username) can now be changed in the user profile (tap avatar or existing username in app)

Ramming Speed! Tall Ship Docking Adventures

Put a even bigger flag up -
I doubt there will be strong enough winds for the strong wind sails and the foils. So choosing those two is a waste of credit.

I have done all the races with the new App and finished most midfield (some 5.000-7.000) and haven't spent a cent yet (granted there was a partner code for the zanzib races which gave you higher credit upfront). To the contrary even with those midpack finishes i was able to increase my number of credits. Key is not to buy every upgrade, as Your Mom mentioned, and it helps to collect as many card as possible and not use too many (e.g. i don't use the forecast or stealth cards ans hardly any waypoint or navigation cards) since the payback after the race for them is quite good. Also the interval between getting cards seems to have chanced to 7 hours. And thanks for the tip regarding zezo. Will definitly use it in the future. My boat name is Cambodunum by the way. The Inshore version of the game is a joke in my opinion. The enforcement of rules rather random and the steering of the boat is rather unpredictable.

Yeah, those billion dollar fighter jets come in handy during a disaster recovery Pretty much BS above.

Incredible how fast this went from an tropical disturbance to a Cat 5 hurricane. All the best to those in its path.

Swapping was tried only after Junior got disqualified for initial keel as i remember it. In case of Carlo: Sounds like disqualification by association with Riva shipyard. But could also be an smoke bomb to deflect responsibility.

Idiots and insurance with partial damage i get . But don't know about insurance with a total loss .
-
Can't understand why those big yachts didn't hightail it out of dodge before the storm since most of them probably have a permanent crew.

Na, remember America First means America Alone. I guess you guys can take care of this yourself as it seems almost 50% of the voters wanted it that way. And the rant was spot on just hard to swallow for those Trumpies, Alt-Right ... and fortunately people are just too decent to stick to a knucklehead like Cruz.

Don't vote politicians who ignore/renounce climate change or this is going to happen more often. Oh sorry, too late, already happened..

Renting a comfortable cruising sailboat in the keys
Marty6 replied to SeaMission's topic in Sailing Anarchy
The span you mention is insane. Twice as much at the upper end than the lower end. I would say 400$/day is rather cheap for high season and the 800$/day sound normal. Broken down to a per person amount and compared to a mid- to highend vacation, which cruising is, it looks ok. -
I feel for the people, but every time i see those woodframe houses in regions where storms happen quite frequently i think "Build cheap, build often". The amount rain coming from this perfect storm is unbelievable. Really a worst case with the high pressure system to the North which holds Harvey in place along the coastline.
