Maybe....

he wants to get all the sludge in his diesel tank to settle under the (port side) inspection cover?

new boater, first trip, underestimated the effect of a force 6..........[sad]

Looks OK to me. Bet he gets cheaper berthing charges than in the 'real' marina!

Maybe he's an ex-raggie who can't get used to the boat remaining level all the time?

Surely its obvious, the owner's an aging and recently retired raggie, can't get the hang of sleeping on a boat that doesn't heel over, Shows bloody good initiative, note the fact that cockpit covers are still in place so owner still putting out serious Zs, Proving to other, sadly more cynical types that there are those who know and those who think they know. Once a raggie, always a raggie ;-) Cheers, Mike.

Re: Stingo Challenge : plan B

He heard about Stingo's stability test and thought about doing it differently because being a stinkie, he obviously could get thirty people on at the same time....

Re: Stingo Challenge : plan B

I'm delighted to see that he has put his fenders out to help anyone who wanted to raft up alonside.

I have to say that I am most impressed that she has not rolled over, that is a bloody steep angle. She must be right at the edge of her stability there. Did he get off the next tide?

She was well secured with shore lines run to stakes in the ground to prevent her rolling. I expect that the marina staff had done this. IanGrant came back on the next tide and didn't see her so presumably all ended well. Impressive angle, as you say.

The mystery for me was that she had to run under the pontoon walkway (background of photo) to get to this position which would only be possible close to LW yet she's aground closer to the HW mark.

Its a Colregs test isn't it?
OK then - Powered vessel on starboard tack on our port side, restricted in its ability to manoevre and constrained by its draught, not under command and its under 30m long?
How did I do?

[snowleopard]

if it's one of the brokers' staff who operate round there he'd have no trouble getting up there at low water with the speed they go at.

Reminds me of a stinkpot found well up the beach at Toward Sailing Club a couple of years ago. The crew (father and son) had left Rothesay the previous evening "well and trully refreshed" bound for Rhu. Set the autopilot/GPS just ommitted to put in any way points! The boat tried to go over the Cowal Peninsula.

interesting - either Ian had other things on his mind or he remained another 3 hours on Asterie after I left! I have a picture too as she was still sitting there when we came in. It was however dark and the picture is not up to Tom's quality.

They were over in UK on a boat swap holiday. Their normal cruising ground was the Chesapeake Bay where we have a maximum 2 foot tide range

I just took it to be normal motor boat activities, never gave it a thought really!
