Stus-List Re: Sea stories vs Fairy tales

[Della Barba, Joe via CnC-List]

Jim Muldoon was (is?) the somewhat infamous owner of a few big racing boats 
named Donnybrook. He was a character and not always well liked by his crew and 
competitors.
One morning right at sunrise in the anchorage at Oxford the day after the 
Annapolis-Oxford race, some sailors from a boat we never found out commandeered 
a PA horn and a crab boat. They woke up the entire anchorage and half the town 
repeating "Jim Muldoon has sex with sheep". We never did find out who swiped 
the crab boat or if the crabbers ever figured out what their boat got used for. 
We were ROFLMAO!

Stus-List Re: 12 volt DC power supply

[Dennis C. via CnC-List]

Thanks for all the suggestions.  In the end I snagged a simple 12 VDC power
supply off eBay for under $10 and a cheap extension cord from Walmart.  So
for less than $20 I cobbled up this:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HWvG61PBQLb3oAdh7smmxiQGOnQQTqWa/view?usp=sharing

Works great.  Puts out 12 volts DC.  Used it to power up a spare GPS here
at the house to pre-load waypoints and routes prior to installing on the
boat.

Hey Folks,

 

Does anyone have a used racing foil they are no longer using?  Tuff Luff or
Harken #6 luff tape and approx.  45' in length.

It seems a bit quiet on the list...

The difference between a sea story and a fairy tale:
A fairy tale begins with "Once upon a time..."
A sea story begins with "now this ain't no sh*t..."

Now this ain't no sh*t:

Back in the IOR racing days of the early 80's I was a card carrying member of 
the Foredeck Union (abbreviated as FU).  As a FU member in good standing, when 
on a crew doing the foredeck (Adventure land) duties, I always felt I owned the 
boat from the mast forward.

This particular race boat was 54' custom design with a powerful sail plan to 
help with the typical light air of the PNW.  With large often heavy sails 
(including an early Kevlar #3 that seemed to be made of plywood) some sail 
evolutions took longer than others.  The owner/skipper/tactician (top guy in 
Fantasy land) was (still is) very competitive, spent considerable $$ for the 
extra 1/10th knot speed increase, and he thought he owned the entire boat 
regardless who was on the bow.

In the middle of a long point to point race with many transitions, head 
sail/spinnaker/head sail etc., the owner yells something at the foredeck I 
couldn't quite hear but maybe something like "a bunch of little girls could 
hoist that sail faster". Being a young (ish) arrogant card carrying FU member I 
responded with a full throated "F*ck you".

Fortunately the pit guy was sharp witted and well placed between the foredeck 
and the cockpit.  When the owner yelled back, rather angrily "what did he say?" 
the pit guy answers "put up the #2".

Stus-List Re: Sea stories vs Fairy tales

[Andrew Burton via CnC-List]

Was this owner from Liverpool, by any chance? And were you extremely overhung 
at the time? Because I recal this exact scenario taking place in Annapolis one 
year. Though nothing beats a certain southern gentleman known for both his 
somewhat coarse behavior in social situations and his success on the racecourse 
could be heard to occasionally explain, ‘goddamnit, you guys are makin’ me look 
bad!’ To which it was suggested that he “shut up and drive the boat.”

Merry Christmas, everyone
