Care to elaborate? Buttman could refer to someone who enjoys looking at women's buttocks, which is a highly heterosexual behavior for a man. Well you're the one calling homo's dumb. I haven't called homosexuals anything. |

Are you speakin' from experience or is that statement a result of a sim? Well you're the one calling homo's dumb. I haven't called homosexuals anything. So you call them nothing. Compared to playing golf, or owning a 1/2 assed boat, flying is still a cheap hobby. What a $100/hr gets you a rental with a CFI, of course if you "Mx" is an invalid, then that's different...are you?

Your doing a tack with the sail fully stable suckin' energy from the wind, cuttin' water and bouncin' waves off the starboards, that's the sound you hear. Next, you reverse tact and the sail flutters (stalls) until re-acquistion of stability going in nearly the opposite direction and you're still heading into the wind, so the net motion is into the wind. Every pilot should do that. I was on trapeze, with a good fat old captain on the til, and me being a skinny lively bitch loved jumped to either side of the boat, pulling the sail to max the energy out of the wind. Regards Ken PS: Read about it. |

Well you must try it. I can't swim, which is bad if you intend to go out on the ocean in a tiny boat. |

Regards Ken PS: Read about it. On our boat we put the crew to the windward side to keep the mast more vertical. We adjust the sail by pulling on the correct strings, and it depends on the tack as to which is the lee rail going awash. As for stalling a sail -- on a beat there's lots of flow separation on the low pressure side of the sail, but it continues to drive the boat. The luffing at the trailing edge just means there's marginal flow separation there, not at the leading edge. If you want to really see a sail stall, do a jibe, not a come about. If you don't duck you'll learn soon enough why the part sweeping across the cockpit is called a boom. |
