Dick you keep trying and failing because you have no proof of what you say. Each of CB's jobs on Gunboats has lead to another job on a Gunboat, which is not a sign of a disgruntled owner. After Rainmaker he worked on both of the other 55s. New owners continue to seek his advice, in fact he...

Cue the crickets

Nice comeback dick, so you have no documentation to support all of your lies, that is what I thought.

I'd be interested in your facts dick, you are slinging a lot of shit with no documentation. CB was asked to come back and captain Panthera for a charter with interested buyers, last summer. Doesn't sound like a disgruntled owner to me. For some reason you have axe to grind with CB and are...

Read part two, it is pretty clear.

Not when you are in reverse trying to back away.

What about the 31st of January and the first of feb? I believe that was when the front was passing through the area that Rainmaker was located. I am not trying to convince you all that a Gunboat 55 is the boat for you. I have sailed thousands of miles with the crew members of Rainmaker over...

And then two days of hurricane force winds and high seas break the boat up and all five aboard die.

edith, this discussion is the circle jerk. Clean hurry please this has been going nowhere for way too long.

Maltese, while insinuating that CB and I are butt buddies probably makes you feel more manly it has little to do with the issue. I doubt that you are man enough to say it to my face. You all have the right to speculate and draw your own conclusions, I have a right to form my conclusions having...

NoStrings, I hate to burst your bubble, but I don't think that CB is feeling any grief over what is said here. Hiis computer is still on Rainmaker. He doesn't give a shit what any of you think or speculate about this event. He gave the interview as an avenue to get the story out to his friends...

If I botched the approach and crushed the hull of a 2 million dollar boat that then sank I would post it on the web right away.

As with the older GBs there are stoppers ahead of the winches for each line. Two hydraulic winches with a mechanical in the middle I think. You need to keep things pretty organized, I know that some bags were added to stow the tails that are not shown. Most any boat can be cluttered at times...

You need to read the entire thread. You can not insult what is not here. Captain Bailet has impressed me many times, I am good with the act of god, and due diligence led to five alive in the post mortem.

Maybe so, was it hit by a water spout.

Part three may answer your transponder question.

We sailed 5000 miles on a GB 66 most of it letting otto drive and it did a better job than the humans. I have no problem that they were using it. Most of the other Gunboat skippers on this thread have stated that they would leave on this weather routing, I will take their assessment over yours...
