Paul B is trying to make me cry again. Now he is going to all the threads I post to antagonize me. Don't make me call your mother.
Australia, the USA boat.

Surely a condition for Zap Cat ownership must be an official certificate of abject stupidity. Cerebral abiotrophy maybe ?

Do you know what happens to an engine when it is flipped/submerged while at speed? Broken con rods, fractured block, crankshaft often sheared at or near the flywheel, etc. There goes 5 grand or more in an instant of insane behavior. Then of course there is the very real possibility of having the overboard fool become sliced and diced by another boats' prop. Also the possibility of concussion and subsequent drowning. These crazies must be using some serious hallucinogenic substance. Lord grant us the good fortune, never to be in the same ocean as these silly bastards.

I, last night, inquired about importing to U.S.. That was a race, an out-of-control one, at that. Those look like fun!

Paul B: this should reduce your ignorance. Two 12M that broke in half:

http://www.nytimes.com/1995/03/06/us...l?pagewanted=1
Also, in your posts you critizised and insulted me because I stated that not all rigs can be used succesfully with full battens. Now you say that the Sharpie 500 is an exception. Are you detracting?

There was never a 12 meter called Australia that broke in half during a race, or ever.

There was never any USA 12 meter that broke in half during a race.


Your ignorance is showing..again.

It is truely funny that you post something that is so ignorant, in order to try and prove my "ignorance". You only show how little you know.

Wrong thread.

FYI: Not REtracting (I use modern English, as well as modern sail handling methods). Using modern materials and systems it would work fine. By the way, where are the largest Sharpie 500 fleets sailing these days?

Using modern brain sometimes helps!








At least would help you to see you are allways in the wrong thread. After some 1000 posts still insulting is your only goal, is it so?

sad individual you are paul b

Your post makes as much sense as most of Gonzo's. That is, it makes no sense.

I agree with you about that race messabout, there was nothing really sporting about that race--there can be no contest of boating skill in such a chaotic and dangerous environment. If they really wanted to test the boats and crew in a fair competition they should stage an offshore race, maybe around an island or some other open water challenge. As much as i love a challenge, there is no way on earth i would jump into that free-for-all.

Gonzo, sorry you are being dogged the way you are--i know what it's like..

I doubt that! especially the part >>>I know<<<

And I am still waiting for your lawsuits! As does PAR. Threatening a community is one thing, getting it done is another.

Monday was at the beginning of this week.

And doŽnt tell me again I was insulting you. You have contradicted the professionals here and offended us from the very first post.

You have to stand when we piss on you, as long as you prove your idiotic statements right!

Nahh, I am not willing to prove ME or PAR right! You are the one to deliver! And the next monday is already coming up. Where are your lawsuits???

the wannabe

You are the one who told us to involve lawsuits!



Not PAR, not me, not anybody else!


You are the one who insulted a whole industry! Whithout backing only ONE of your statements!



Not PAR, not me, not anybody else!

I thought that the America's Cup boat that broke was common knowledge. All the world news showed it. Even people that knew nothing of boats were talking about it.

You mean people like you?

Let me give you a hint: What year were the sinkings? What year was the last year the AC was sailed in 12 meters? Compare and contrast with your claim.
