    Did you see signs of structural problems from the slamming, or just worry about it?

    Deerfoot 61 polars

    He's got a point though.  Not sure about overweight, but they drag the stern, and can't sail well upwind/in the light.

    Can't be long before status symbols that burn tonnes of fossil fuels are points of embarrassment.

    70' Cruising Proa....Big Red Yacht

    you're right, there is some leeward support, but usually the staying angles are narrow enough that freestanding masts seem worth consideration. i don't care about all the history, just interested in the boats, and especially for long distance cruising where crash gybes happen.  i'll go clean my...

    70' Cruising Proa....Big Red Yacht

    People posting on this toxic misogynistic website call what he writes "abuse"?  Lol. Having read a bit of the banter, my impression is that he stays on point and non-abusive, which cannot be said for a bunch of those who respond to him or describe him.  His boats may or may not work well (no...

    wtf Australia what is yall doing??

    Yes, 97%, I was using shorthand. If you write off that degree of consensus as alarmist you should stop all medical care and start smoking 50 a day.  I've read it and understand it. I don't read facebook. You are plainly the opposite and your "facts" are discredited conspiracy theories.  You...

    wtf Australia what is yall doing??

    I'm not sure even you know what point you are making, but consider that the biggest consensus of scientists on earth on any issue ever, having undertaken the biggest scientific study of any issue ever, all think you are wrong. I guess there's a chance they are wrong and you and and LB (who...

    wtf Australia what is yall doing??

    On your logic suggesting listening to your oncologist is alarmist. I've read the IPCC reports. If you have you haven't understood what it means.  But if writing off the entire scientific community as 'alarmist' is the way you want to deal with Australia's heat and rainfall outlook then you're...

    wtf Australia what is yall doing??

    These fires arent a culmination, they are the beginning. If your solution to Australia's looming environmental and climate crises is to hate the greens and obsess about hazard reduction burning while ignoring emissions, then you don't understand the science. Or maybe you do but have vested...

    Expedition style motor yacht thread?

    You're saying that even the worst emitters should not do anything to reduce needless emissions because somebody else is emitting something.  Fabulous.  On that basis the worst emitters can justify business as usual while the world cooks because there's a hypocrite out there, or because they're...

    You total wally.  The problem with massive consumption isn't just about scarcity, it's about climate change.  The reefs are dying right now, you idiot.

    Really cool trimaran for sale - no ad; not mine!

    Sail4 - if you can easily and cheaply manage that with your 28 foot bulb keel boat then go for it, but you can't.  The point here is that you can with fast multis.  It's pretty different if you leave local waters.  a bent rudder shaft, or a hole ripped in the bottom of a boat a long way from a...
