HFC Hunter 147 #701 Posted August 26, 2016 I think that boat is in a state of suspended animation, more than it is undead. Great photo, and nicely done to wedge the keel into the rocks so cleverly.The skipper must have thought of that right before or right after putting out all the fenders just in case a large dock drifted alongside, or in case someone wanted to raft alongside as the tide was going out. I gather November Charlie can be substituted by skying a halyard and hanging an mob light below the transom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Ed 439 #710 Posted August 28, 2016 That looks like a close sister ship of Lady Mary, a Harrison Butler something-tonner, who is on her mooring outside our window as I type. Owned by our very good friends Keith and Janet. Lady Mary spent something like fifteen years in their suburban garden as a zombie, with a painstaking restoration going on. The photo doesn't really do her justice - she's a very pretty boat indeed.

Shu 121 #720 Posted September 1, 2016 Maui Punter is onto something. I am now aware of 3 boats that have been Rimassed. A grading system needs to be employed in order to compare the quality of the various Rimas maneouvres. As Maui's post suggests, beginning, standard, and Advanced may be a good start. Or perhaps a five-star rating system. Points could be awarded according to a maximum possible score based on difficulty, with points deducted based on the quality of execution, similar to gymnastics or diving. Like figure skating, points could be awarded in two categories: technical merit and artistic impression. The bold statement presented by Knight Star's apparently undamaged hull standing proudly atop the rock outcrop and silhouetted against the sky, coupled with its juxtaposition with the light house should give Knight Star the maximum possible for artistic impression. Furthermore, the extraneous presentation of the fenders provides a whimsical sense of comic relief to an otherwise austere setting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lark 1,450 #721 Posted September 2, 2016 You must deduct points for the halyard flying in the breeze and that sloppy tow line astern. Not even a bridle! These little details become important in the advanced division. The great use of distress flags and oversized flag of convenience, as well as a safety conscious radar deflector show true artistry. Rimas keeps the title, though the emulator is quite good. The goal is not merely an epic fail. One must demonstrate utter incompetence while providing the appearance of true seamanship.

Shu 121 #735 Posted September 27, 2016 Not sure if it qualifies as a zombie, but it definitely can be scored on the Rimas scale. The apparent distance from any body of water could give it a maximum difficulty score, even if the execution is a bit wanting, seeing as how it is significantly out of fore and aft trim. On the other hand, that same remoteness from water is more likely an indicator that this J-24 was sitting propped up for a long time, and once the keel had sunk in, the supports were removed. I have two possible scores: A. accidental Rimas, deposited far above the high tide line: Difficulty 6.0 (maximum possible) with 2 full points deducted for poor execution; 4.0 points. Artistic Impression 3.2 points (again the poor for and aft trim ruins the effect, but points are awarded for the partial covering of leaves, which gives a back to nature look that belies it's ultimate fate) for an averaged score of 4.6. B. sloppy boat storage resulting in appearance of a Rimas: DSQ. It's a fraud; a cheat. I put it to the panel to determine the cause, and therefore the appropriate score.

I've got to disagree with you on the artistic impression. I give it a full 6. The impression of it rising to a difficult sea on the starboard bow gives the whole scene an animation that rivals the finest representations of sea, the equivalent of Gericault's Medusa, or Hokkusai's Great Wave: it can also be seen as a caged or wounded animal rearing up in protest, a protest that is guaranteed to be futile, since it's actually set in concrete. Can you not hear it howl? How often have we all felt like that, when shackled to a desk miles from the sea? In any case, a magnificent commentary on the ambivalent relationship between land and sea I nominate it for the Turner Prize. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SloopJonB 8,316 #744 Posted September 28, 2016 Sailboats The Rules of the Road began in the days when most ships had square rigs and had trouble sailing to windward. The rules made the downwind boat "give way" to those sailing to windward, the "privileged" boat. Don't forget that racing rules apply only to the race and the racecourse does not provide special exemption from the international rules. Tack is determined by the mainsail. For example, port tack means that the wind is coming over the port side (left side facing forward) of the boat and the mainsail (or largest foresail) is carried to starboard. The port side is thus the windward side. Starboard tack rule: A sailboat with the wind on the port side (port tack) shall keep out of the way of a sailboat with the wind on the starboard side (starboard tack). Windward rule: A sailboat on the same tack but to windward shall keep clear of a sailboat which is to leeward. [This means a boat sailing downwind must alter course to avoid a boat sailing upwind on the same tack. Older books say "a vessel which has the wind aft shall keep out of the way of the other vessel."] A sailboat on a port tack that sees a sailboat to windward and cannot determine which tack it is on, shall keep clear of the other.

Sure. This is windward-leeward. Sailboats on the same tack. I dimly recall a rule from long before either of us were sailing, to the effect that a racing yacht with a spinnaker hoisted had right-of-way over another yacht which does not; presumably this could give port+spinnaker R-O-W over starboard. This may have only been a rule for inland scows, which my grandfather raced back when they had gunter mainsails and asymmetric spinnakers with two-piece spinnaker poles, all hoisted to windward of the jib. But I don't think a boat sailing free on port has (or ever had) R-O-W over a close-hauled boat on starboard, under ColRegs or anything else. FB- Doug Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SloopJonB 8,316 #746 Posted September 28, 2016 You guys have been sailing too long under those NASCAR derived racing regs. "a vessel which has the wind aft shall keep out of the way of the other vessel." That goes back to the days of square riggers when ever yard to windward was paid for in blood. Ever since I started sailing I thought it made more sense now, with fore & aft rigs, that downwind would have ROW. Can you imagine BITD a ketch under chute, blooper, main, mizzen chute and mizzen meeting a boat coming upwind? The upwind boat could clear by simply luffing for a few seconds at most while the downwind boat faced a potential catastrophe of tangled lines and destroyed sails trying to keep clear.

I hung around surreptitiously to watch because the way the stitching is unraveling out of the sails, it could potentially be a pretty spectacular sight.

boatcat65 10 #782 Posted June 21, 2017 Somewhere in the NW- a Shane "Trimmership"- typically about 45-50'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boatcat65 10 #783 Posted June 21, 2017 One thing the NW does better than just about anywhere else is moss- thick, verdant moss. ;-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Ed 439 #784 Posted June 21, 2017 Gosh - that's not a boat, it's an artwork. A metaphor for the mutability of dreams. Wonderful photos. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

robert644 0 #787 Posted June 21, 2017 Another Buccaneer, this one a twin-mast conversion. The picture is about 5 years old and the resident has since moved on, God bless him. The boat was taken to the dump last year and I neglected to photo it in it's state of ultimate zombie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Twin masts on a Buccaneer? A turbo Buccaneer? Sweet. What's its PHRF rating? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
