You are correct. I kinda assumed the idiot was out and about saying it as much as typing it here but you are likely correct. More likely that "bigfoots dick" is fired boat boy now with nobody to talk to and nothing to do but type on his Mom's computer.
Let him keep going and be sure to quote him. Not often you get to see a slander case unfold right in front of you without Clean, Ed and the Don being present.
You are right of course. Its an absolutely critical piece of kit to avoid getting wet or a sunburn as you launch the dinghy for offshore rescue/transfer.
I am absolutely stunned it didn't sink immediately upon loss of the coachroof.
End sarcasm alert.
If you mean why not recovered - good luck finding it and I doubt at this stage its financially prudent.
If you mean why did they get off - because they are intelligent.
But no desire to respond to the shit slinging. Just stating the facts. The structure was right side up, intact, and...
Of course she had been "thru a wringer." Heck of a series of storms swept through there. But yet, there it was, structure intact, right side up, still floating.
The exact date and time we are taking your creation on its maiden voyage.
What's wrong with this afternoon exactly?
My spray top is in the car.
Its a Miata. Fun drive to work. Passing all the 4x4s. :lol:
Because they are not complete idiots.
Hats off to the principals here. The lawyers no doubt squash some ability to respond but I am impressed by the ability to keep a united front.
Clean,
Generally avoiding this (the 2) circle jerk thread(s) but will drop a line to note my thanks for the write-up. Some useful bits in there to add to those from the various offline conversations.
Certainly different challenges in taking 18 wheelers and porsches along that route.
Did...
All this righteous indignation about PJ opening a thread and SA promises of info.
What does that have to do with the skipper, crew, or owner - all of whom have been trashed here?
Clean said he would get a story and I believe he did. You guys post shot about his wife and the guy(s) he has to...
Agree with gone drinking for many reasons. You guys create an environment so toxic only an idiot would tell their story here. Sure 5 year old couch sailors will speculate and spew shit all over the internet and SA too. But if you are dumb enough to nurture and grow that culture don't be...
Slow down on that good authority stuff. See your email. I would let you buy me breakfast of you want. Heck you bring me beer when I should not drink it (that last sail). Get me when I can, LOL.
Get me back on the email chain.
Cheers.
Sorry Tim. Still having phone issues.
The short answer is yes. I don't mean for a vacation; I mean as a job. That forecast, that build, that design, and that crew for sure. Others here who have owned or skippered large cats offshore have said same. Not saying anything other than the build or...
Ugh, can't get phone to work. Rope, I believe both the owner and son had some offshore experience. But don't see it as issue. Not saying it's such but I don't care if they are potted plants so long as there is adequate experienced crew. And there was.
So then you ate back to the forecast. It's...
No. That is the job. If the owners wants to come on the ride, the owners comes on the ride. That's the job. Its the owners boat.
No different than Ellison w Dickson or Clark (and almost his wife) w Read on Comanche in the S2H.
If the owners wants to come, you hire enough crew to get the...
Much much more than a daysailer. That is from back in my day! Was a step forward and an amazing boat. Still is.
LOL, that thing may pre-date the internet but I would guess you could find info on-line. Evolved from a smaller version of same/similar that was tearing up races if I recall...
