Have you no shame Doug? Putting yourself in the same class as real world yacht designers? Come on. You can not show a minute of your Fire Arrow in sustained foiling mode. You won't show up to race any of your innovations even when you are offered $1000 and more to do so. You haven't even...
Dougie here is your chance to prove us all wrong. Since you claim you have a foiling tri in Florida, please post a video, taken anytime in the last six months showing your boat foiling for one minute or more. No stills, no video from two years ago, no crayon drawings (I assume you aren't...
I've been dealing with Doug for over twenty years now from his days when he was getting banned from r/c sailng forums. Fact is he derives his entire self worth from his internet postings and the underlying reasons for all his posts is to try and validate what from all indications is a very...
I'll add another $500 to the above 50 yard w/l FA challenge. Winner take all?
And Dougie, you still haven't answered the simple question I posed a while back--In the last 24 months, how many hours have YOU spent successfully foiling either full size or r/c?
Or how about this even simpler...
Two simple questions Dougie-- 1. Over the last eighteen months how many hours have you spent foiling either full scale or toy boats? 2. Over the same period how many hours have you spent posting about foiling either full scale or toy boats?
Dougie has been doing the same act for close to twenty years now. First it was toy boats with what he called a working spinaker, then it was canting keels, then other forms of moving ballast and then foils. Always posting endless math that doesn't add up, still pictures that never really...
Ugly? Have you read Doug Lord's posts? His regular attacks? Do you realize how many years he has been trolling and fucking up sailing forums? How many people he has burned by sucking them into his delusions? Have you seen his pictures? After years of trying to be rational, I've come to the...
In thinking a little more about why Doug Lord can't find a single person to assist in his revolutionary efforts, I remembered a recent picture of his lordship and wondered if perhaps dougie's problem is olfactory. Which lead me to wonder what in fact Doug Lord actually smells like. At first I...
Come on everybody.....Doug Lord needs a boat buddy....someone to share his love of stained, sweaty t-shirts, ratty beards, Internet trolling and not sailing....Won't anyone volunteer to be his new assistant? Please, this is your chance to give us all a full report on Doug's living and working...
From the "you can't make this shit up" department, it seems that over on the toy boat forums where Dougie also posts, he claims based on his "testing" ( read " drifting") of his catamaran, he is modifying his foils and rig. Shocking! Even better he is asking for a volunteer to help him launch...
Sorry to disappoint, but if you have seen Dougie's workmanship close up you will find it is not up to display boat standard. Shouldn't come as a surprise given his personal appearance and the shots of his "shop" (kitchen table?) that he periodically posts. I think his logos and arrows and...
And the foiling mini 40s have no "power ballast" nonsense, no styrofoam float at the top of the mast, no special jib boom, no miracle Velcro reefing system, no "carbonated", "up tip" or "batwing" foils,and no stupid arrows anywhere...most important, they sail regularly in all conditions, tack...
Doug Lord has been around for so long putting out the same self centered delusional crap (often accompanied by very nasty attacks on his critics) that the only way to deal with him is as a source of amusement. Accordingly, i applaud Chris and all others who respond to Doug with humor. After...
Why do I doubt the accuracy of your wind and speed readings? That video sure don't show a boat moving at above wind speed. Somehow, though I predict this is only the first of many extraordinary claims you are going to make coming out of this "test". In the real world, you could have put the...
