LARGE SAILBOAT PASSING IN STRONG WINDS

[nabreucow]

His first time sailing??? Job poorly trimmed, should be flying a smaller one anyway, and I would put one reef in that main...

[yammer123]

boring..

[RetreatingBlade]

Could have done with a smaller jib and maybe a reef in the main. Would make for a more comfortable ride and probably faster.

So why did the boat with the camera not give the guy a break and steer clear farther? A little courtesy can go a long way on the water.

[charliebergy101239]

@counciousstream  we were never even close to being on a collision course.

[FantasticBob7000]

So is this boat passing wind?

[charliebergy101239]

[dandotreillydot42058]

[charliebergy101239]

@dandotreillydot42058 ha ha... we weren't in the way of this boat.

[charliebergy101239]

@dandotreillydot42058 we were far from being on a collision course the whole time.

[BertHigginbottom]

He seems in control, wouldn't mind betting that's breakfast to him.

[Bullvine69]

That boat is big enough, especially when its heading straight for you.

[Ti83MJ]

I dont know bout your definition of "Large" or "Big" but tht is a 40 feet, tops! Id rather classify it as a small cruiser.

[127rally]

San Francisco bay, i suppose...

[ruddorthner1]

less fore sail in this case will make more hast

[starguard]
