    how would you respond to this missive from your commodore?

    At least the commodore doesn’t have to deal with the rusted out tools that “Bump” leaves on his dock for 8 months. I don’t know why, but the lack of attention to caring for tools bothers me more than this post.

    how would you respond to this missive from your commodore?

    This whole thread makes me happy I don’t sail with you thin-skinned pussies. And “bump”... shouldn’t you be sailing 1d, instead of handicap in the WR? Annapolis competition too much for ya?

    Covid Casualty or Deliberate Fraud? Not such a Great Circle

    Everyone likes to bitch about North & Quantum's prices, but they deliver and when something isn't right, they fix it.  I once worked for a small business / contractor, who funded funding his ongoing operations (aka alimony and a coke habit)  with new customer deposits. It all works fine...

    Poll: Ban Jack Sparrow from Sailing Anarchy?

    Yeah you post above is sort of my point. I  can't follow your incoherent string of quotes.  And more annoyingly, I can't follow any other poster's conversation because everywhere I look, you've spammed it with hundreds of self-quotes.  I sense I'm wasting my time here.

    Poll: Ban Jack Sparrow from Sailing Anarchy?

    Mr Sparrow - my issue is that I don't have any fucking idea how your posts relate to any topic at hand.  I gather that you are very upset that Australia has been allowing too many people into the country, which is fine... I couldn't care less one way or the other.   But I don't understand why...

    Poll: Ban Jack Sparrow from Sailing Anarchy?

    Mr Sparrow - I haven't been on this part of the board for a long time, because it seemed to be mostly pointless Trump vs non-trump political covid crap early this summer. But now it seems like it's just you and LB15 going at each other. He was funny though, so I left him off my poll. In any...

    Poll: Ban Jack Sparrow from Sailing Anarchy?

    I can barely navigate this site any more, it's all @jack_sparrowspam posts all the time. They are verbose, unoriginal, humorless, and of such a volume to make any engagement pointless.  I'm guessing I'm not alone here - @Editor, pls give some consideration to improving the discourse here by...

    What is considered running a "Good Program"?

    Best way to Measure keel foil section?

    @12 metre. That’s genius, thatnk you!     The middle of the keel is basically flat (lazy builders/casting) so I don’t expect it to match exactly with any NACA foils, and will require a lot of fairing build-up.  Is there Any software or method you recommend for matching the points to the...

    Best way to Measure keel foil section?

    Trying to identify what foil section was used, any ideas on how to best take measurements of the keel?

    Annapolis YC Double handed distance race

    No, these safety requirements are not just “recommendations.”  Each of these races will have a very specific SER list and often pre-race inspections, and winners should be prepared for a post-race inspection too.    I don’t think you are going to find a one-size-fits-all answe her, you really...

    It’s time to replace PHRF once and for all!

    This is exactly what is happening in Annapolis...  new ORC-optimized designs like the Italia are cleaning house, winning or in top 3 in most races.  They have great crew too, which matters too of course.  (And old phrf rule beaters are instead racing in the phrf division... which means smaller...

    Chesapeake racing recovery

    After what looked like a pretty bleak season with covid, Chesapeake racing season has really turned around in the last few months. AYC’s Solomons distance race this weekend has 57 entries, up 20 from last year. Scratch sheet: https://yachtscoring.com/event_scratch_sheet.cfm?eID=11747 And the...

    I hate Yacht brokers

    @Jackett  In either case though, the issue of the delivery captain getting stiffed is separate from the sales agreement. That liability lies with whoever actually hired him.  The OP has been conspicuously silent on this matter, which makes me think that both sides were in communication with the...

    Annapolis Performance Sailing - OFFICIALLY DEAD

    Never had any problem with their rigging and don't know anyone else either, the only concern was that usually had a backlog, because they had the best selection of line and did the most business locally.  I heard some of their riggers went over to Bacons when they were laid off last year.

    I hate Yacht brokers

    I wouldn't ever want to make boat enemies. Too many opportunities for someone to drop by the dock and slip the lines or open a seacock.
