I am going on a Scum Sail yacht!!

[Whitelighter]

Taking part in the Sun Sail Sun Fast 37 wot not at Cowes week.

Might be my chance to get on sea side rescue /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Now, is there an etticate or can I just shout Racing, RACING!' at anyone who I don't like the look of?

 

[HoratioHB]

Yes but just rememebr they may aslo be scumsailers and may just shout 'racing' back at you. In which case, really confuse them by shouting 'no water' or 'mast abeam' or even 'rule 31b part 6'. that'll get tem.

And don't forget it is obligatory with that set up to either ground the boat or enjoy a collision.

You don't want to stand out in a crowd do you?

 

[Whitelighter]

Ah yes, I was hoping to experience the full Sun Sail hospitality package and experience either a grounding or a collision. Depending on the level of skill of the skipper, do you think it is too much to hope for a collision immediatly followed by a grounding which might allow me to practise my radio work?

I know how to use one, I've seen it on the Telly. 'Over and Out' is the key phrase isn't it. Oh, and you HAVE to shout...

 

[Bav34]

And don't forget to headbut the boom. I think it's mandatory. /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

 

[fiveflipflops]

Don´t forget to fill the fuel tank full of water. For the full experience remember to ram the boat into the fuel pontoon. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

 

[savageseadog]

You don't shout I'm racing, water or anything else. Just aim and smash into the other boat.

 

[Nico]

You realise you'll have to win now.

[MapisM]

Can't tell you if the shouting works, actually I never found any raggie using it with myself.
That's probably thanks to my technique for crusing undisturbed across sail races: just one engine, minimum speed, anchor ball up and a piece of chain down from the bow to just below the waterline.
Good for taking nice pics either!

You missed out the most abvious - make sure when entering any harbour under power, you must do so at full throttle and attempt to get on the plane just before arriving at your chosen pontoon!

 

[old_salt]

When all around you are fully maned and setting up sail Shout "ALL QUEERS CAN'T TAP DANCE" then all on your fore deck crew promptly tap dance the others then have to follow.
Gets for a good laugh especially when someone is doing that important bit of work relay gets their 'old man' upset.

One of the first corporate SunSail's I went on in the Solent, the skipper was first rate. He asked if we wanted a good day sail, or to win. We said win. So we spent the morning learning what to do. Winch, sail, helm, etc.

In the races in pm, we had become a pretty honed team. When the two leading boats got away from us, due to us gybing around a container boat, he came up with an idea, as we'd gone from third to nearly last in fleet.

Were we prepared for it? We went straight at the shore near Portsmouth. When the keel touched, he called for a tack, which came off, as we'd been pracisting all day

We went from about 9th to 5th with that, as we were headed straight for finish line, and two boats behind us went aground following us.

Great fun, and we learnt a huge amount
