TP52s

Well...

Are you gonna answer the question? What boats have you been "invited" to sail on?

If there were, name 'em (by the way, if you claim SSSS boats, I'll know if you're lying there bud).

Oh wait! That's right, you're insane. There were no "real" boats.

 

Dork,

Well gee, seems like I was invited onto Sugar just last Friday for the run to Winter Vashon. Got emails about not making the party and everything. I really have no interest in meeting Bubba and Tripp Gal but I understand they were on board Sugar and were "impressed" that Murrelet was racing. Its a small world. Hey I am waiting on a ride for another hour. Want to chat about TP52s instead of Me. It is all about Me. Isn't it. Did CB really chat with Teeters?

 

I apologize anyway. Does one of us have to be wrong? OK it is me. I am not a girl. Or girlyman. I do vote republican when I can.

I will certainly check out a TP52 if any of them show up at a boat show or Swiftsure or something like that. Because I am headed to the Galapagos in about a month, I would like to wrap up this investigation soon. We tried to charter a multihull but were told there isn't any wind this time of year so have settled for a state room on a trawler. Anyway lets try to keep on the TP52 topic. I think it takes a half a life time to sail any model sailboat really well and you harm your potential by sailing many different kinds of boats. This is especially true in moving from Skiffs to keel boats.

Friends do not let friends sail keel boats. Thats a joke. Well ok you may quote me. Where are those NZ guys. Can the NZ sailors say hello?

 

I think we already established that the S-2 isn't a high performance "big boat" (No offfense to Scott of course).

And didn't you say Boats (plural)? There's more?

Also, you weren't invited on ANY boats because of your sailing knowledge or abilities (like that ain't obvious). I thing for the most part it was because people were starting to feel sorry for your crazy ***.

 

Four things:
1. Bubba was not on Sugar and Tripp Gal never said she was impressed she said surprised you were out. However not surprised that you failed to make 5 miles in 8 hours.

2. Bubba never wanted to meet you and you were not invited to any party that Tripp Gal was. She tried to be nice to you early and I put a stop to that because you are not a stable person. By your own writing you stalked McKee and Guzzwell cornering the latter in West Marine after a year of looking for him.

3. Your X is a slow POS compared to the keel weighted modern design Mac 26M. Why don't you sell that POS and get you a real advanced design.

4. In 12 hours everyone on here will begin to delete their posts. You will cease to exist on yet another board.

 

Dork,

I think I get invited because they need the weight. 220 lbs of crazy *** on the rail can keep a boat flat enough to get her on plane. I feel sorry for the Samurai warrior class sailors. The ones with boats that can only look good on WinLee race courses. Oh it is the wine talking. No, I am on record for saying that on SA.

A 52 footer isn't a big boat. Sorry. We might as will bring this up now. I expected it when I started the thread. The notion that 52 feet is big is laughable among my power boat friends and even some cruising friends. MacGregor Yachts has a 70 footer and this may not even qualify as a big boat when it comes to ocean racing. These are big for buoy racers. That is all.

When it takes half a life time to learn how to really sail a model well and that half a life time just happened to be during the failed experimental period of the bulb weighted fin keel there is a sad situation. It isn't honerable to just cut those with that skill set out of the sport. Hence the new WinLee buoy courses at our club. But I do look forward to the fast buoy courses again in a few years. Hey, I am running Murrelet around Hope Island on Saturday. What are you racing on. Strider crew have been chatting me up to ride recently. I hope to do that eventually. She is a Seattle Grand Pre multihull. If that is what it takes to get feed back from defender, I will negotiate with Rod tomorrow. But I also have a standing offer on He Lives - a J boat. Being an arse doen't apparently cut you off from crewing.

1. Bubba was not on Sugar and Tripp Gal never said she was impressed she said surprised you were out. However not surprised that you failed to make 5 miles in 8 hours.

Bubba's (or Tripp Gals) crewing explained what slowed Sugar down. She would have done much better with out those keel boaters and their wrong-about-sailing ways aboard. Empressed was the word used. There is much that can be learned dockside and over warm piss. Did I actually make 5 miles? FYI, a boat that does not contact the commitee boat doesn't get a DNF. They get nothing. Not even a mention. Anyway, it isn't like my POS always finishes last anymore. We get better just from chatting.

2. Bubba never wanted to meet you and you were not invited to any party that Tripp Gal was. She tried to be nice to you early and I put a stop to that because you are not a stable person. By your own writing you stalked McKee and Guzzwell cornering the latter in West Marine after a year of looking for him.

I am told that Bubba is the husband of Tripp Gal. His melt down of poo poo dropping on SA has soiled all of SA and Polsbo. The party was at the Tacoma Yacht Club Friday night. Stalking? really. Well I do know who is worthy of taking my hat off to and who isn't.

3. Your X is a slow POS compared to the keel weighted modern design Mac 26M. Why don't you sell that POS and get you a real advanced design.

I love my POS Xboat. So do all the owners in Puget Sound. Seriously, check 48 north. Note there is not a one up for sale. Bubba and Tripp Gal will have to register for the Chrismas Light parade on the Mac26x Blown Away. You know I do not make stuff up. It just Blows me away. Read 48 north. It is a great and Mac friendly publication. Anyway the X is keel weighted. The M is internal ballast and keel weighted in the same way as the X (water ballast in the center board).

4. In 12 hours everyone on here will begin to delete their posts. You will cease to exist on yet another board.

Oh no. Haxor. I look forward to 10,000 views on boatdesign.net. Why should SA get all the glory. E Gad this wine is good. Let me point out that boatdesign.net is superior in both length and debth to the trophy kid anarchists. Huzzah Huzzah. Minon's should I call for the minions?

 

<b> a boat that does not contact the commitee boat doesn't get a DNF. They get nothing.</B>

Incorrect. They get a DSQ. Worse than a DNF. Just ask the crew of Couragous.

<b>but I also have a standing offer on He Lives - a J boat.</B>

Not a bad boat but I'd suggest getting on a boat with a more competitive owner/crew. "He lives" doesn't race often and when they do, they place towards the back.

<b>Strider crew have been chatting me up to ride recently.</B>

Once again, get on a boat that competes. Strider is a fast boat but has no competitionThey're the only multi-hull in Olympia although out of the two of them, Stryder would be my first choice. Rod is a good sailor and could teach you a few things (Hint: You'd have to listen).

 

I am Tripp Gal's husband you *****. I thought I was clear on that. I was on board Sugar and impressed was not the word used. I don't recall you being there to hear it, oh that's right you weren't. But by god you know don't you. You are a seriously delusional person. Seek help. And by the way you spell it Poulsbo ***** and Bubba doesn't live in Poulsbo. We have been lifelong friends something I am sure you can't understand. You love for a POS that is such an inferior boat to the Mac26 M is strange given all you have spouted here about being on the leading egde. You talk all this garbage about being on the leading edge and yet you cling to the ways of the old and outdated. No Tripp Gal nor I will be riding on any POS. Not only do we not have interest in motoring around on a poorly designed motorboat with a pitiful rig we don't find any reason to go out and motor on a boat to see a sailboat.

There is nothing you can learn dockside about sailing a boat you twit. By the way how did you do in the race? Oh that's right you didn't finish, infact you didn't get close enough to SEE the finish line. We finished and with only one boat in front of us. Was that you and your POS, no, oh well maybe next time.

If I remember Bubba had offered you a ride, he also offered to race you on a course of your choice without his headsail. He offered to pay your race entry fees to have you actually come out to a race of significant size and see what it was all about. Bubba was much nicer to you than I would have been.

11 hours left until your time is over. How does it feel Frank? In just 11 hours you will disappear from this board and you are powerless to stop it. People will delete their posts and all you will be able to do is plead and grovel and blame it on some conspiracy by others when the simple truth is they just got tired of your drivel.

 

dork,

Rod is my teacher and a former MacGregor Yacht owner. Do you ever attend his Performance Sailing Seminars?

Hey look, I have a spot on Andrew Kerr's training program in January. If you moderate just slightly I am inclined to give it to you as a reward. Even if you are Bubba or Tripp Guy. And empressed was how the story was told to me. I was thinking of CB or defender but, wow. Bubba or Tripp Guy. Anyway, since the Galapagos deal came through I can not make it. Contact me at the breakfast on Saturday before the Hope Island race or at the Winter Feast. This is several hundred bucks worth of serious training. It is an all day deal. My cost was $25. There may be additional slots open if others are interested. Trip Gal can go since I will not be there. My club does not give DSQs on the longer races; only the buoy and short ones. If you know me you know the club and web site and can check it out yourself.

I am not willing to race for pink slips when the pink slip to be won is a fixed keel boat. Bubba is not a nice man. Tripp Guy, I think this may be the first time we have chatted. (if you are not Bubba)

 

frank what could you possibly learn from andrew kerr? why buy the ticket?

 

CB, are you interested? I have been to two presentations by Kerr already. It is great to have a man like that settling in the Puget Sound area. Check the web site or chat with Scott. This drunken sailor is being carted away. I hope all readers can enjoy the banter tomorrow morning and hope to chat more. The education of mighetto may or may not be possible tomorrow. Haxor is a powerful hackor.

 

scott already passed along the info. i have contacted DD and the check is in the mail. sorry

 

Re "I think it takes a half a life time to sail any model sailboat really well and you harm your potential by sailing many different kinds of boats. This is especially true in moving from Skiffs to keel boats."

Well, Frank, anything you think must be wrong (by definition) and you're wrong again on this one. It's not at all impossible to be a champion (at various levels) in very different boats at once; you can some "really well" in dinghies, yachts, offshore yachts, windsurfers, skiffs, and catamarans - if you listen to those who are more experienced in each sort of boat.

It's the guys like you, who are too arrogant to listen, who can't change from one class to another.

I' ve just registered again just so I can delete my posts.

 

Frank,
Tripp Gal and Hubby's presence on Sugar during the Herron Island race was not the reason we did not win. The reason was the wind died and all the boat behind were able to catch up. It is just a part of sailing. I learn more sailing with them for 10mins than I could learn from reading your post for 10 years. They are some of the best sailors I know and are real great people. You could learn alot from them. They are welcome on my boat any time they want.
