A couple of sailing pics.
« on: October 12, 2014, 09:35:45 PM »
This is a friend's boat. I've been crewing with him for our club races this year.

Last race we had some serious fickle winds. Sails hanging like rags one minute rail in the water the next.






2nd pic was timed pretty good, just about then we "rounded up" when the rudder lost it's bite and the boat slewed back into the wind.

Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Neat name for the boat... 'cept the Aire wasn't that Bon that day, eh?  Too much Bon is worse than no Bon at all, judging by the heelover.  Good thing there's a reg'lar Heat Engine in the back end.... what do they call that, the storn or something like that?  Sten?  Something.

I'm not signing this one so nobody will know who posted it.

WHATEVER YOUR DEFINITION OF "INFRINGE " IS, YOU SHOULDN'T BE DOING IT.

The boat can be sailed pretty fast. We've managed it quite a few times but that day we managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
