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.

You got me hooked. I had a closer look into this. I do not know the site, but if the requirements are listed here https://www.longmontcolorado.gov/departments/departments-a-d/city-clerk/licenses-and-permits/special-events-permits All you need is Certificate of Insurance: 1) Combined Single Limit of $1,000,000; ("This is General Liability. the Limit is pretty low. You should get a reasonable quote") 2) Must name the City of Longmont as an Additional Insured; ("Usually an usual extension for the General Liability Insurance, this should come at no additional premium") 3) If serving/selling alcohol, must include Liquor Liability ("Well, this might be unavoidable - good that this is not required in Germany") Name of Gowrie Group had been raised before. They offer a complete package https://www.gowrie.com/USSailingPrograms/BurgeeProgram.aspx which you do not need to cover those requirements. So all you need is explained here e.g. http://skippersplan.com/sail-canada/water-regatta-liability/ . Hope this helps..

Look exactly what type of insurance they are asking for. Probably all you need is: - (General) Third Party Liability Insurance (when you or your team as an organzier hurt/damage a third party - will pay if it your fault or will protect you (legal costs) if you are not liable) - Property Insurance for Equipment you are renting (or rent equipment which comes with insurance) Anything else in regard of insurances should be avoided - those costs usually are not worth the protection (I work in this business, our sailing club does not buy any other insurances). Make sure that you all participants will sign the usual participant letter which would limit your liability (as far as legally possible). Perhaps any club member is a lawyer - get her/him help you. Good luck!

In Germany there had been a TV show years ago who deliberately mispeled KFC to KSF which they gave the long title for "Kentucky Schreit Ficken". It was really funny at time - to be translated as "Kentucky Cries Fuck". Now I know that had a hidden meaning ... although I never ever went inside of one.

Nonsuch 26 What are its good points...what are the bad
Knut Grotzki replied to Bastiat's topic in Cruising Anarchy
DDW, could you direct me to the thread that discussed your cat yawl - I am very interested in this. Is this about Anomaly 43? Thanks. -
Rigging details regarding reefing lines (Nonsuch example) Why Wishbone? As the front end is higher than the clew it acts as an automatic downhaul. Foot tension applied via the "choker" which changes the distance of mast to front end of wishbone. In the end it will be lighter (but higher than a conventional boom) and the stress induced by a (rigid) boom vang will be eliminated. If you want to have the worst of both try the Wobegon Daze solution... (freestanding and rotating masts)

How close can the sails be? (i.e. the "slot")
Knut Grotzki replied to SoFastSoSlow's topic in Sailing Anarchy
I could give you some pics of best looking bloopers which are not flatter than most ... well ok, back to business ... here is one: Anyway, their thrust vector should point in the right direction, which I doubt at some pictures. Or they counteract the side force of the spinnaker, but in the end the induced drag needs to be overcome. This is what probably killed them - when boats sailed faster than the old lead mines permitted. -
Oh and I forgot, the principle "raced the Chicago-to-Mackinac Island regatta twice, and dreams of sailing obscure parts of the world. She lives in Chicago’s Lincoln Park neighborhood with her labradoodle, Juni". This might be where the sailing olfection of the picture comes from.

Beware Ed, they will surely add SA to their list: http://ballastgroup.com/media-results You will then find yourself between Sacramento Bee and Sarasota Herald-Tribune. Not too bad...
