OOOh, Fab!!

 

[Ecosse120]

You don't often get a trapeeze on boats that big !!

 

[Lizzie_B]

No, Hee Hee. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif She's a little over heeled /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif She's fastest at about 20/25 degrees,with a full racing crew of 8, instead of three cruising - life's a compromise! Yank Destroyer at anchor off Annapolis sent gun boat out to investigate and spoilt the fun /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif

a little overheeled? Most non sailing types if onboard would assume capsize imminent and start screaming - my experience of swmbo's on saily boats that heel dramatically

Did that with Jissel in a gust off Lee on Solent yesterday. I thought it was great fun. SWMBO was not amused...

 

[Lizzie_B]

Actually SWMBO'd is on the helm /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif That's why only the middle size Genny is up /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

There will be four C 38's out together when I go out to play on Halloween weekend, big party saturday night. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif
'Scuse my burbling like an excited kid, but I feel like an excited kid. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

 

[BrendanS]

Can't blame you, I'd burble too!Looks like wonderful fun, and just wish I was there to witness it

 

[fflakey]

Overheeled?????

Get the crew on the rail!

HIKE!!!!

 

[Lakesailor]

Bloody dangerous I'd say. What where you thinking of?

 

[longjohnsadler]

As someone said to me once - ' You were showing a bit of keel...'

 

[TheBoatman]

As they used to say in old naval parlence - your over powered hun -if you want more boat speed then throw in a reef or two and fircristsake take some of that genny off. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Peter.

PS
Nice pics.

 

[Lizzie_B]

[Lizzie_B]

This is one of the other owners with a full racing crew. /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif
Count the bodies /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

 

[Lizzie_B]

What /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif An put the spinney up you mean /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif
This guy who usually sails short handed has named his boat after a high speed train. /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif Very apt /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[Lizzie_B]

Buy a ticket and I'll see you at EWR on the 24th /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

One of the lady skippers has painted her C 38 black, and called it The Black Pearl /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
That's dangerous with all the USN patrolling against piracy /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
Looks great though,will try and get a pic when next out there. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

 

[TheBoatman]

That's a different pic - the one you posted showed a boat hard on the wind - why the change to a spinney /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
