Re: With all due respect, you\'re the one who needs a reality check!
Go for it. Let us know your boat's name and where you normally berth so we can come and see the fun and games though.

Re: Steves next questions
Its been a long and entertaining / informative thread. I wish I was in Steve's position, going somewhat vertically up the learning curve.
Suggest we take a deep breath and wait for the next round of the more important questions like rig, downwind sails, reefing arrangements, storm sails, anchors and warps, dinghies, outboards, electronics, radar, etc, etc, etc, etc, ..........Now that will really generate some debate!

Re: Steves next questions
Good idea Keith. Lets let this park up.
For the next post SBS wave of q's can I suggest that the cynics and critics dont bother to respond.
Vertical learning curves are presumably so steep that one can fall of the cliff...hmm, a real risk methinks.

Re: Biology lesson
NB: it's normally the male of the species who physically defends the family, toils all day to find food and shelter and makes the primary move towards a large plastic boat with powered winches and a bit more headroom.

I can vouch for the fact that especially viewed through a rear-view mirror, paulineb is very real indeed.

Re: Back to reality ?
If I can stick my oar in among this lot. Your first boat will always be the wrong one. Need at least three to get it right.

Re: Oh come on Nigech!
c'mon nigech, a farr50 isn't really posh now is it? OK it's posh compared with uk boatshows -cor look : carpet! But not posh compared with twin genrators, decnt stauary and some kentia palms in the saloon? Lee-hah - we're changing the CD!

Re: bowthrusters: the alternative
Bowthru8sters can be excellent. But note that there is a point in the experience/skill/power/damage curve at which it is much more cost-efficient to have no bow-thruster, and hand over folding cash in exchange for lightly smashing into other boats' pulpits? I couldn't justify spending more than £3k on a b'thruster, and would gleefully accept £200 for a hardly-noticeable bend in the forward ironmongery.

Re: 100
No prize for a mere 100. You need to get stuck in with something really outrageous and get past the 150 mark for notoriety. Nonetheless ,100 in a few hours is good going. And don't blame me for stirring it! Or pauline! Mind you, we always seem to be there in these rucks!
