It appears the the front stuff fell off.

Because if the pilot got on when they were inside the port they wouldn't need a pilot would they?

The "Rainmaker Dismasted" thread. As far as the Ed and Clean are concerned, it is the thread that keeps on giving. Keep on clicking anarchists!

Good thoughts, one of the better posts in this thread.

" It was beauty killed the beast".

Well, they certainly aren't the IOR warriors of yore, when the men were men and the dolphins were nervous, instead of jammers, somebody just gripped the line in their teeth and you didn't dare reef unless it was blowing at least 70 lest somebody accuse you of being a pussy after the race, that's...

I think they are operating on the same principle they used in Viet Nam a long time ago concerning the town of Ben Tre. 'It became necessary to destroy the town to save it' Perhaps it is necessary to destroy sailing to save it?

Because you need to justify the 2 million+ price tag somehow. Besides the fact it looks like a condo with a mast in the living room, another reason it can't be a real sailboat bis because according to the website, the trim throughout is oak! Oak for god's sake. Everyone know if it isn't teak...

IMO moonduster has a classic case of vagina envy. As humans we all have the urge to return to the safety and comfort of the uterus. We act out this act symbolically through vaginal intercourse (well intercourse also helps create more vaginae) as well as cunnilingus. Men are perpetually...

At least I can count on Fox News because they are "Fair and Balanced'!

Aww shit. Next thing your going to tell me is that there is no Santa Claus, right? Fucker. Destroyer of my dreams!

Edith is either having PMS or her period perpetually She is on a 24/7/365 cycle. You would think she would have bled to death now.

Thanks Windward, to quote an old song, "What a long strange trip it's been". At my age things get a little fuzzy and it takes some energy to get these old arthritic fingers to work on this computer thing, but someday I might tell you folks about the time I taught this little, fat, loud mouthed...

Fine Mr. Koch, you want to measure cocks, let's do it. I started sailing back in '98, that is 1898. I signed on as a cabin boy on one of the last of the tea clippers at a young age because mom was kind of worn out and I was number 14. You think those old IOR boats were shitty, try sailing on...

So, given that the only people that stretch things more than fisherman are sailors, let me deconstruct your post. All of the awful events you described happened in probably one trip, two at the outside. You were a junior crew member, possibly even the cook/back up grinder. After you got back...

I think that is the single most disturbing think about this whole affair.

Problem is Marv, with just a handful of posts you have managed to antagonize one of the editors of this site and a well known and very successful designer with many boats to his credit. Not a very good start is it?

In that case I would suggest your problem is failing to properly consider the weather and consistently setting out in less than seaworthy boats. Maybe you should consider a different hobby, eh? What is that old saying, god protects fools and babies? And I don't think you are a baby anymore.

Maybe it is your questions Marv, I see you are asking "innocent" questions over in CA too. Yeah, you are just a simple curious troll guy, right?

It appears that Rkoch also has little or no experience with real emergencies and doesn't realize how quickly things can go from bad to worse. In the middle of an emergency there is no shame in getting out while the getting is good and nobody is dead yet. The first thing a first responder does...
