Hi Everyone :)

I discreetly begged Sailing Anarchy Forum to take Mighetto back :D

Within an hour 20 angry replies. Check it out.

Be warned of the "fourth dimension" whatever this may be :confused:

Way to go Wynand Nortje! You know when more sailors know who Frank Mighetto is than who Russell Coutts is that there is something special going on. I would say you just made a few VIP lists yourself. Just remember, I am not like a talk show host, spouting off to get 100 views ever hour. I actually believe everything that I post. So do the folks that feed me. That doesn't mean we are always correct. Just candid to the point of offending. I suppose there is a mess to clean up now. Carry On.

Wynand, you really amaze me mate, (you should get used to that word) I thought you made a joke or so, thus I changed fields.

My goodness, Frankie boy must have slaughtered and terrorized the lot. Even strongbellies like the SA bunch; only one guy considering to take Frankie boy back, provided we send him a "fluffer" too (new sail?).

Frankie boy, this is not a site for you, no real ocean sailors in it, capito?
I have a better site for you. There you are among friends! Real friends. Go tell them about your friendship with Jim Teeters!

Go to "BANGTHECORNER.COM"

(and send the fluffer to me)

Quote Wynand N: Be warned of the "fourth dimension" whatever this may be

Wynand, j_dirge on SA pointed out that "fourth dimension" should really be "fourth MODE". Spaghetto likes to quote Bethwaite, and Bethwaite uses that term for the way Aussie racing skiffs sail heeled over in light wind. Unfortunately, the Mac has to use fourth mode in all wind conditions. :)

Wynand, why did you do this, the cancer is spreading. Now we have his name (the name that should not be said) all over the forums. At first it was funny, but now its downright annoying to get all the e-mails telling me some more nonsense has been added to the already crowded bandwidth. Let this die, and we should all hope he goes away and annoys someone else.
All the best,
Robert Gainer

I couldn't say this better:


It's kind of like a really nasty car accident.
Your logic tells you not to look...not to get involved...
that it has nothing to do with you yet...

morbid curiosity makes you want to slow down and stare...
and if you really stretched your imagination, you would pull
over, get out of the car and check out all the nasty bits.
There, you can see where he slid sideways and you can see
the skidmarks (Remember that I was invited to defend
Macgregor Yachts at SailingAnarchy)

...then the paint scrapes on the median wall (But in a
sailing world where weight is the enemy, why would one purchase
a TP52? They so clearly have two much weight in the
bulb keel)

...then a few yards away you see the shattered glass (It is
my understanding that bringing the bulb weight closer to the hull
makes the boat faster like bringing the arms of a twirling ice
skater in makes the ice skater twirl faster)

...finally, you see the car. Completely unrecognizable. The airbag
has been deployed and is covered in blood. Next to the wreckage,
under a blanket, you see the twisted and bloodied torso (She sports
two rudders and centerboards and a canting keel. These boats are
horrors to the designers on the east coast of the US who just can
not get themselves away from bulb keels or fixed foils).

But, as you stare, you see the torso begin to move slowly. Then -
oh horror of horrors - it stands! Suddenly, it is whole again
without a scar (But for now, I think I will concentrate on
winning a few races)

so, I came into this late and it's taken me a while to get caught
up to how freakishly curious this fucking fruitcake is.

But now, I'm spent. I hope, for my own sake, that I've had enough.

Oh god, when will that ambulance get here!

I would not normally feel compelled to correct anyone on this but in light of our recent ridicule on another site for our ignorance on such topics I feel it is necessary to enlighten you in the terminology common to the denezens of these less than genteel forums.
A "Fluffer" is not, in fact' a sail, but a member of a filmmaking crew. In the world of pornography someone is given the job of keeping the star...um ready for action between takes. That person is a fluffer.
Literally hundreds of off color innuendos, puns and suggestive phrases came to mind in trying to explain this to you but I think I had more fun trying to avoid writing one as I would have had I given in to temptation.
Like I tell my crew---OK fun's over, lets get back to boats.

[Mark 42]

It still amazes me that with the entire internet
at our disposal, some people still need to ask
the meanings of various terminologies...

[D'ARTOIS]

Explaining what? Who said I was talking about sails :D

[mackid068]

Please, be nice to Mig. I DON'T agree with him, but in any case, try being nice. Nice him to death. It works.

[Skippy]

Okay mk, whatever you say. There's some more info here (http://www.boatdesign.net/forums/showpost.php?p=39100&postcount=267) if you want stuff to read.

Edit: Removed taunt after mk removed name-calling from the preceding post.

[101]

I've never seen Mackid and Mighetto together. Mig disapeared and MK showed up . . . something fishy going on here . . . Mackid, what did you do with Mighetto?

[mackid068]

Ok, look. I'm not Mig. He is not me. I am a relatively new member who looked at this post, saw people bashing someone, so i checked his other posts (Mig's) and his website. he doesn't seem so bad whatsoever. However, his ideas, though well written, aren't well researched. So, just be nice, ok?

[asathor]

Being nice didn't work. And I think he likes the bashing.

I think we'll have to try psychotropics.

[Shife]

My advice:

1. Study basic physics
2. Read the TP 52 and Secrets of Yacht Design threads
3. Repeat until you see the error of your ways

Have I mentioned before at how familiar this all was?

Just wondering.

Once again, from the New Yorker dog cartoon calendar:

"On the Internet, no one knows you're a dog."

Applicable to an awful lot of the 'Net.

[Mark 42]

... I checked his other posts (Mig's) and his website. he doesn't seem so bad whatsoever. However, his ideas, though well written, aren't well researched. So, just be nice, ok?What I suggest to do is print and read this message thread (http://www.boatdesign.net/forums/showthread.php?t=5471&page=1&pp=40).
Once you do that you will see that he has done some of the research, and
has been corrected when wrong, and admitted to being wrong about some
points, then continued to post the same drivel in spite of knowing that he
has either been proven or proven himself wrong.

(editted by request, though w/o agreement that it was primarily political...
wrong is wrong, no matter which side the person comitting it is on)

[Skippy]

Mark, we just got done discussing political content on the forum. Why don't you take that garbage somewhere else. Rather got in trouble over one political incident, and most of the criticism against him seems to be of a similar nature. We don't need people mentioning public figures alongside inflammatory phrases like "has a target he despises", and "will stop at nothing in attempts to discredit".

[WildCherry]

Frank should just crawl back to the Mac world, and leave actual sailing, (and thinking) to people that have a clue.

[mackid068]

Perhaps...perhaps. I may just agree, Wild.
