Re: pwrboaters sailing methods
This may be true..but what happens when you need to avoid..lets say the isle of Wight....oh sorry i forgot..you just shout and tell it to get out of your way cause you've got loads more money than he has..(said in a Bham accent)

Re: cor saily/power
But that is exactly what sailing is all about.
On a power boat it's all a bout arriving and being there.
On a sailing baoat it's all about getting there.
I would much rather spend 3 hours chatting..eating..drinking..relaxing with friends than just sit still and hold on for 40 mins.

Re: cor saily/power
indeed mike, but of course there are those saily trips that become 3hours of hanging on rather than 40 mins of hanging on. There doubt about it, sometimes power is better, and sometimes sail.

Re: cor saily/power
Matts is spot on, times when power is better, times when sail. Hence his quest for a racing sloop with massive arnesons. Or do what I do, buy one of each but only buy part so all together you only own one boat but this weekend it's a power boat and next weekend it's morphed into a sloop.....

Re:you\'re right
there are indeed loads of powerboats who hold dead straight line on gps/autopilot, no deviation unless smash into anything. I wouldn't like you to assume that it only yotties that get swooshed, cos with an engine buggered so only 1 engien we wer clipped about all over by the straight liny gang.
Note however, that the nice ones miles over there that you don't notice are the ones you shd be waving and smiling at - we were only once noticed doing this on empty fri nite solent, and smart thankyou wave from taking obv big deviation. Natch the rest of the time the solent just full of part time amateur povertystricken sailors with no money for glasses and ooops a perfickly nice post ruined at the end.. sorry.
