Thanks for the lead, I read it, didn't change my mind at all. As this is off thread here, I'll leave it at that I never said a sloop was...
You don't really need to move the satellite. If you think about it, you can vary the shape of the electromagnetic wave to make it "look" like the...
I mostly navigate by looking where I'm going and knowing about where I'm headed. Sure, GPS is a nice toy. But, I can't really imagine ever...
Very interesting boat. I great up around Kettenburg boats, build in San Diego through the late '50s and '60s. They had a hard sharp turn at the...
Yup. Here's a picture. The Dashew boats are not "pretty" (IMHO); but they sail very well and are tough. Note how far apart the two masts are...
I think I'm in love. We've been posting lots of pictures of split rigs, so I thought I'd post one of a sloop that I lust after. The Spirit-46...
All, I've been tied up with a lot of stuff and not online - too much sailing - a good thing. :) With respect to the pictures from the St....

Time spent "on the wind" Mike, a number of years ago I went through the log book of my trip through the S. Pacific to New Zealand and back....
Paul, Thanks - glad to meet you - no apology needed here. We could have the ketch vs schooner debate for years, and I think we're probably...
Thanks - no problem with the welcome - the good thing about a forum is that no one can throw a bottle. No harm done and certainly no real offense...
I agree - much of what I said was opinion, I'm happy to back it up. I think you'd find that a cat rigged sloop, which may be about the most...
I agree with much of this... but, I was address a somewhat different question I was attempting to respond to the original post with a view...
PAR, or whatever your real name is (mine is Beau Vrolyk), I am astounded and amazed that you would insult someone you don't even know, rather than...

There are a number of things mixed up in this question First, there is the question of split rig vs sloop. Second, there's question of Ketch vs...
