port!

[Editor]

This appears to be dicky no matter the sitch, and while we don't exactly know, here is what Anarchist Liz said about it:

Hi, this is the second image recently taken Jan 12 on Tampa Bay at an Opti Regatta. The negligent adult skipper plowed through the clearly marked Opti race course no sign of safety. He also yelled obscenities at the children (ages 8-12) telling them to get the F%$# out of the way.

Please note he is also on Port tack. Regardless, he had the choice to stay clear like all of the other large boats and chose not to. There are several upset parents about this and I thought if I shared it here you may have advise how to spread the word for better safety on the water. This behavior is not acceptable I'd like to hear what y'all think.

Sail number USA 39511. Anyone know the boat?

The other pic is a totally different boat actually sailing THROUGH the optis. This guy seems to be behind the course and clear.  Whoops.  Just blew up the shot and saw the opti rig on the other side. Both boats being dickheads.

Two different boats??

Yeah sure but those dudes have Mt Gay hats on, they totally know what they are doing.

I remember being a Marshall for a CMRC event one weekend a few years back in Chicago. Clearly marked course, we had flags flying (not Clean pink  :wub: ) on 4 power boats on the perimeter trying to keep the Match Race course clear, 10 competitor boats, barge, and a slew of Umpire boats and spectators. 95%+ altered course when asked. However there is always that guy on the water that feels that no one can tell them where to go.

We had a huge powerboat all Rodney Dangerfield like fly through the course, fat guy with cigar and all and a few sailboats that DGAF and proceeded to cross the field of play.

Looks like a Tampa / St. Pete boat called WIRED,  at one time owned by a guy named Allen Thomas--- but it's old info, could be a different owner now ?  Based on the sail number I"m guessing a Farr 395

The photo could be misleading, telephoto can make it look closer, but if someone on the boat was yelling obscenities, etc, seems like no excuse for that.

If anyone knows Stefan or Sigurd, they ought to ask him for a comment.

HE IS ON THE HIT LIST NOW

 

[footlong]

I don't think either of those boats is a Farr 395

 

[Editor]

sorry guys, i had a different setting for the other image so i deleted it.

 

[Monkey]

HE IS ON THE HIT LIST NOW

Why?  We don’t even know if that’s the culprit. Perhaps the boat has been sold since then. Perhaps that boat bought the sail used off Wired. Perhaps the owner wasn’t on the boat.

At least get the facts before trashing someone publicly.  

Once we actually know the offenders, then we can have some fun!

 

[CrushDigital]

Why do both of the boats pictured have assholes standing tall on the rail looking around? Really can't stand this type of entitled asshole.

 

[kiwichas]

Nice boat, had it long??

 

[Cwinsor]

The facts are pretty clear imho: The big boat has no class. And the message being sent to the kids is its okay to grow up and be a dick. 

 

[Sail4beer]

Sail number USA 39511. Anyone know the ASSHOLE?

Fify

Thats why it’s good to have a brain when you operate any vessel on the water.
