[Sans Bateau]

Taken on Saturday morning

 

[cameronke]

Does your snuffer stow in that little white box at the top of the mast?

 

[Sans Bateau]

Would you be suprised to hear that it doesnt?

 

[Signed Out]

Well, if you don't want that little white box, I'll have it, mine was smashed when they took my mast down.

I really like Etaps, but the latest ones look pretty ugly (the 28 I think, just out). Certainly not AWBs!

 

[Oldhand]

I think you get a stern with an AWB but then they need it as they are not filled with foam....

 

[Koeketiene]

Very, very nice

agreed but tack pennant could have been eased a couple of feet ( 610 m/m ) /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I used to sail an ex baltic trader called the "Queen Galadriel"...

 

[tcm]

hm, yes, and he hasn't taken up the slack in the jib sheet ready for the picture, nor yet taken off the screen canopies. The chance of a great picture ruined

And the main halyard is too tight.

 

[fireball]

The first reefing line up the leech is too tight.
The stackpack lazy lines could have been eased slightly.
The dirty mark around (I assume) the exhaust should have been cleaned off.

Shame on you for showing us just how slap dash you are when your sailing! /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

 

[Sans Bateau]

Picky picky picky picky!

Just goes to prove the photo was not posed!

 

[Sans Bateau]

Surprised no one has mentioned the exhaust soot on the top sides.

Ah! just spotted fireball noticed it!

Trying to find out what is causing this. Started to appear about 12 months ago, checked all the obvious, but still it smokes a little. The engine is otherwise spot on, it is fuel soot rather than oil.

Expensive kicker - should get some use out of it!
....And isn't that diesel smoke I see coming from the port quarter?

"Expensive kicker - should get some use out of it!"

Actually, coz of the boom angle, the kicker looks like it would have to work very hard to have not very much effect. It would be doing more to force the boom through the mast than to tighten the leech.

 

[Sans Bateau]

The luff at this point was too tight, we had only just set sail and I was still trimming. The main was nearly on the shrouds with the wind well on the port rear 1/4. The kicker would have been tight, the boom although here fairly level is never horizontal.

and BB, no the engine isnt running, if you look at my post further up I have already had the 'P' taken for the soot on the hull.

 

[bilbobaggins]

All right, then.

Have the 'P' taken instead for including more inland waterway and sky than boat.....

Er, it's widescreen....... Blurry codirectors showin' off their '16:9' toys!!

.....Er, nice boat!

Just in case you havent worked this one out, I didnt take the photo! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[Lakesailor]

Ignore them all. I get the nit-picking all the time. Let's see their perfect trimming, and then wonder at how long they could have been enjoying a sail instead. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
