RL! Where you been? I've been missing you. And I never see you on IM. You're AWOL.
Is that any way to talk about the Lonnie Bruner? That girl scooted us around the bay nicely if I recall, maybe not like the Segel, but she did her job. Which reminds me - are we all going to have to shit in a pail again or is there a head? Any thoughts on sailing through the night? We have 7 berths and 9 crew, so we could if we really wanted to. We could double our mileage and shoot for those islands in the lower bay - what are they called? Just a thought since it sounds dangerous and exciting and risky and an opportunity to create a feeling of "mission mentality".
Jason,
No, we aren't going to have to shit in a pail. There is a nice head that can convert to a shower should any of you panzies want to actually wash yourselves on this trip.
I agree, the LB is a fine vessel but you haven't truely sailed until you've sailed behind a 4-foot in diameter wheel.
As to the other things you'd like to propose, I suggest starting a separate blog post instead of a comment on an existing one. That way we can all comment and pitch in on your idea/ideas.
Holy shit this boat is awesome! So the motor gets you up to hullspeed? so much for the noisy outboard on the Bruner. Also, I hadn't realized she has a 135 percent genoa foresail! What is typical speed in a good wind, anyway?
Jason,
I went out on the Segel last summer with a load of 13 people and it hauled ass. There was 14 knots of wind and we did about 7 knots at times. No doubt, we'll cruise just fine.
I think there's also a 150% genoa on board as well. It has a whisker pole that we can use, which is just to keep the genoa out from the boat while sailing downwind. It's no where near as cool as a spinnaker but we won't be complaining.
There is no spinnaker on board.
Will it be worth it to pull out the 150 and whisker poll?
Jason, I think putting up the 150% genoa on the Segel will be a pain in the ass. Plus, you can use the whisker pole with the 135% anyway when sailing down wind.
The 135% should keep us busy.
