From the Front Page "Sailing the seven seas of cheese" - Sailing La Vagabonde's New Rapido 60 TRI

[Rain Man]

Bumped into this thread and, having purchased a Precision sail recently, looked up the offending pictures and the apology from Precision.  Precision claimed in the apology that they used the pictures because they illustrated a particular type of cloth, and didn't intend to mis-represent someone else's product as their own.  Yeah, nah.  The optics of this are pretty bad.

I had to laugh at the comparison chart - they make it seem like it is a positive that they provide a measurement form and that the owner has to take their own measurements.  You have to go up the rig to do this properly for a mainsail.   I didn't mind doing that and I knew I would have to do this going in, but there are probably some people who don't want to.

Having said that, I saved over a boat buck on my sail vs. the major lofts, the shape and construction are fine for a coastal cruising boat, and time will tell how long it lasts.  I would not consider Precision for racing sails, I don't believe they have enough control over the final shape to be able to design the sail to suit the boat.  They are probably fine for offshore sails if you purchase the upgraded offshore construction option. 

Now if they would just send me the spreader patches they owe me...

what happened to the "girl with bikini and patreon account goes sailing' thread, or whatever it was called? I guess nothing lasts forever.

UPDATE: lol forgot its in the cruising forum, we follow all these jokers there. LaVags deal with the Outremer was a lease, i take it the deal on this tri is similar:

Ooh, I'm glad I had popcorn to hand for this show.

This thread sure has released a lot of pent-up anger and resentment in SA's subculture of broflakes, especially those whose attitude to women was outmoded even in the stone age.

Poor buttercups.  A working-class couple is getting themselves a second great new boat, and that hurts the broflakes like hell.  Even worse, these working-class kids are in he money after a life of rent-seeing or wage exploitation or asset speculation/inflation, or the other conventional ways of accumulating large amounts of boat cash.  Nor did they spend decades as office serfs, plotting each step of their rise to the corner office with the potted plant. Nor are they even the product of some reality TV wizards.  No, these wicked proles built their own business, by living the ocean dream and bottling it for a global audience ... and they have been very successful at it.  Ouch.

To make it worse, they have grown as sailors, and have now clocked up many more sea miles than most of the angry broflakes whose 4ksb gets out of the bay only for the fortnight allowed by 10 days annual leave.

It shouldn't be allowed, should it?  Why won't these millennial proles accept that their place is asking us if we want fries with that, and thanking us for only doubling their extortionate rent?

I do hope that the broflakes feel better after their gestalt session.   But really, Editor, you should have put a trigger warning on the front page posting of this.  Some of those broflakes no longer have strong youthful hearts, and this much gestalt can lead to coronary gaskets blowing.  If you decimate these buttercups, we'll have to get zoos to create safe spaces for the remaining fragile macho boomers, and that will be expensive.

Looks like someone is a bit smitten with Elayna. Or Riley maybe (NTTIAWWT). But either way, you go girl! Maybe next time they need a pro skipper to take them across an ocean they will call you.

Wait. Oh never mind.

But you keep hitting the paypal button in the meantime cupcake.

They certainly are a lot cleverer than you morons who pay for their 'lifestyle'.

 

[Alex W]

just where the fuck do you think you are ?

I know where am I.  It can always be better, and dropping the sexist and misogynistic bullshit would go a long way towards doing that.

Triggered much, buttercup?  Need your safe space?

I have never given any of the sailing vloggers a penny, and I don't much like either of these two let alone fancy them.

I was just responding to an extraordinary outpouring of hatred against them, which was laced with several dollops of overt misogyny.

But of course, it's entirely predictable that LB15's response is to simply invent motives for me, and make sexual innuendo.  That's the LB15 trademark style.

 

[TwoLegged]

No, they bought the Outremer with a loan.

If the Outremer was only on a lease, they wouldn't have been selling it.

So what triggered you petal? You don't like them, haven't given them a penny (well so you claim) and only rushed in to defend them to put down the Misogynists'?

'How very noble of you. Sniff sniff. Sounds like bullshit to me. 

I guess there are worse things than being captivated by a couple of grifting influencers, if it brings you joy.

You seem to know a lot about them for someone who doesn't "much like either of these two let alone fancy them."

I am not a huge fan of Covid-19, but I learnt a chunk about that too.

 

[OCS]

The proof is right in front of your eyes. The only person making assumptions and insinuations is you.

Actually my comments were about the graph showing the misleading assertions about sailmakers and their company set ups. I have spent 40+ years in the trade.

I was supporting your post

Well there you go. I didn't realise that China released 'Brows and 'Tash into the world to create economic instability throughout the western world.

You must have quite the fascinating life if you waste time 'researching' a couple of online attention whores that you don't even like...

What ever floats your boat.

I am not triggered at all, buttercup.  Just bemused by this thread's display of the rage of fragile male ego from some misogynist boomers.   The rage and fury of the OP is extraordinary, as are some of the posts that followed.

And no, I didn't "rush in".  I posted 5 days after the opening rant was posted.

Get a mirror, buttercup.  Your aggressive, misogynist bullying persona here is the personification of "online attention whore".

You just rushed in then. 'fragile male ego' , 'misogynist boomers' . No you are not in the least bit triggered. And where is all this 'Rage and Fury' , all I can see is some people having a laugh at a pair of grifters. The only fury appears to be from you. And that may be from the dawning realisation that you will never get a girl that looks like her. Or him for that matter.

 

[TwoLegged]

No, I posted 5 days after the opening rant was posted.  I am sorry if that is unclear to you.

And of course, as usual, you play your usual card of trying to sexually belittle whoever you are replying to.  Are you as vile as this all the time? Or do you just troll when you are online?

 

[LB 15]

No, I posted 5 days after the opening rant was posted. 

And a further 6 times in the last hour. You must really have a thing for these two.

 

[Gong Show]

This thread has exposed something, we can once again type GRIFTERS without getting censored.

Thanks ***********. I note the court case is the first result on Google when searching a combination of these three words.

Edited to add, guess you still cannot post naD sreyeM, backwards yet.

 

[TwoLegged]

No, buttercup, as you well know - I posted 6 times in the last hour replying to your trolling.

Your trolling would be much more effective if you tried to retain some credibility.

You think? Seems to be working just fine.

So what is your point? You are on a crusade to stamp out all examples of Misogyny (as deemed by you) on these boards are you?

Of course your definition maybe somewhat broader than others on here which may lead to some conflict. 

So to avoid further chafing of the Vag, perhaps you could simply fuck off to somewhere more suitable to your fragile sensibilities, little flower.
