Why did I know that it would be the oldest inhabitant from the costa del geriatrica who'd say that. Oiled the zimmer lately?

Re: Today\'s gale
Our top gust was 51mph, but it's settled down now.
My little boat has been very steady (it's the grey one to the right)
Others have been a bit more lively

It had been at the London Boat Show, heading towards Chichester - where the main Bav dealer is situated.

Actually it's Kiel. In Finland we don't speak so much of sailing capabilities of Bavarias rather they have a name Yak-boat, who knows what it means ? /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Don't worry about it Helina - LakeSailor was trying to play on words (Kiel - Keel)but its too long and contentious a story to tell - and will bring up a load of old issues which are best left buried /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Re: Today\'s gale
You have a nice attitude towards Lakesailor. Are the people sailing on lakes abusing their boats on drinking water ? /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
I have to admit I've seen some very nice photoes shown by him and I don't mean Ladies in Chains.

Re: Today\'s gale
Well you know what you like. I don't have any poor opinions about Bavarias, apart from the fact they have a reputation for losing their keels. But having said that, and judging by what I have seen on the lake, Beneteaus are less stable, so I can't claim to be an expert, other than to say that any boat that keeps going where I want it to in a squall is OK by me.

Re: Today\'s gale
I might be wrong but that Sonata should have a mooring buoy on the pennant - it would ride much easier in such conditions.
BTW
It was gusting F11 here at Sheerness around 13.00. Only blowing Westerly F2 now.

Oiiii, gimme my bora back!!!! Here in Trieste we've got fog, and it's been like this for days. Ugh! We're used to having winds at 150 kph. How about a swap? /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Looking at the long range forecast you won't have long to wait. We've kept it in good condition for you.

Re: Today\'s gale
It does have (it's a Europa), but the guy has put his strops on the top eye instead of shackling them to the riser. I mentioned it but you can't help some people. He's only been down a couple of times in over a year and still hasn't replaced the missing pintles.
