How to sail with piston powered, LMAO, what a scam!!!

[hmmcrunchy]

and more importantly where are the life jackets!!!!!!!!! not good for a sailng school

[DeepCdivin]

I WONT GO DOWN CAUSE ME DICK CAN FLOAT!!!!

[newsnetuk]

Hopeless in every way. . Not only were there no lifejackets being worn by anyone but the current was clearly carrying the boat towards the pier because he hadn't reversed out into the channel; . He says the gasoline is OK . How does he know that? If the engine had stalled at this point his students and the know-it-all "skipper" would have been in big trouble.

I can never remember, on these gasoline powered mono-slug lead mines, which button do you push to raise the main sail?

The fuschai button or the perriwinkel button?!

Okay lets say its up to you if you wear a life jacket or helment so if you get hurt or disable dont come crying to the taxpayers for their assistance.

@mousepad99 My 16 foot hobie will do 22 knots in an 18kt wind, while your MonoSlug leadmine is lucky to break 9kts. I can blow your hatches off all day long.

If the prevailing winds are onshore, you dont build a marina for sailboats there, you moor your SAILBOAT in the open water.

have fun sailing in circles around orange bouys, you are almost really good at it, Mr Second place. When you want to take a real sailboat our on the the ocean and GO SOMEWHERE, call me.

[MrHobiecat]

@mousepad99 Hello? Hobies cats have fully battened sails. I have no problem SAILING the boat backwards, sideways or any other direction i want it to go.

Ive sailed 80 foot twin masted schooners on the atlantic - and I didnt NOT need a video to show me how to start the engine in the river and back the boat out of the slip.

This video is a JOKE. If you want to talk about sailing, talk about sailing, but having an engine on your sailboat is a dirty little secret, and you know it.

[MrHobiecat]

@mousepad99 Joshua Slowcum was the first person to sail around the world alone, in the late 1800's. It took him over two years, he built his ship himself out of wood, and obviously he did NOT have a motor. He was a sailor, you sail your motorboat in circles for a wooden plaque.

If you cant get your boat out of its slip without an engine, maybe you should stay in the harbor. How do you make the boat go where you want on the open seas, if you cannot navigate the marina?!

[MrHobiecat]

@mousepad99 apparently you could not get a laser off its trailer without a gasoline powered crane.

A motor boat with sails on it is NOT a sail boat.

[MrHobiecat]

Joshua Slowcum spins in his watery grave, everytime this video is played.

How to SAIL?!

WTF is that black thing on the back of your boat spewing all that noise and smoke?!

If you cant SAIL away from the dock, maybe you should make a living doing something else.
