Posts: 473 Panama City, Florida | I'm pretty sure this guy was not "brave"; he was "bold". Bold is not being afraid and doing something. Brave is being very afraid and doing it anyway. Fear is a natural feeling that keeps us alive. When it is missing, you don't stay alive very long.
I heard a cool saying that fits this subject well...

Tin Man never had a chance over there, too bad the multihull community didnt embrace him either...but really, how could we?

Posts: 749 Santa Cruz, CA | EEEHH, It wasn't that bad in retrospect. It was just a little hazing. A few posts later I came clean with everyone and told them what was up...and actually got sort of an apology from the offender. Mid page (login required): http://forums.sailinganarchy.com/index.php?showtopic=67669&st=50 As far as the flow of USEFUL information goes, you can't beat catsailor. And dare I say, even more specific if you're into it, the Hobie forums. Especially since both are so focussed on what we like...cats. The ratio of useful info to BS here is much better than SA. I've been sailing here on the West Coast for a long time and was a hired gun for a well known racing monohull distributor both in Socal and Norcal. That, coupled with the fact that I'm recognizable and generally have made a jerk out of myself at every yacht club in CA. I think, people tend to remember me. The year I was Santa Clause at the O-side YC comes to mind...That's a story for another time. On a more serious note...My vision for joining SA is to interject some positive cat info every chance I get. It's like outreach to the yacht clubs. And, I've been PM'd by a bunch of people I haven't talked to in years, so it's been pretty neat. TinCan As one of the few people that have been aboard the Tin Can while it was in the water. I can tell you it's a sketchy boat. I couldn't imagine it in a seaway. The decks on the sides of the cabintop were so narrow, I couldn't even get a good footing, no lifelines, sitting in the '****' I was about 2' off the water, and everything was slippery. I'm overall a pretty positive person, but that boat is dangerous! Meeting Vann was cool though. I don't agree with the people that say he's a scammer or any of that. I think he's one of those eccentric artist-types thats a bit misguided. Thanks again gree and MB and others that defended my n00b postings. I'm still a giant loser though, [color:"red"](EDIT) [/color] as there is only one person in the world that has seen past my idiosyncrasies and posted as my friend on SA, Karl. Thanks, Man! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> It's all fun and games! | | | Re: TinCan Tri

Just for my own entertainment I posted a new thread on SA. All it had was a link to a youtube video of me sailing the FXone. I can't wait to read the idiotic responses of anti multi crap. Where did you post it? Looking for it, I usually love to join in the multi fights. Although the multi bashing seems to have calmed down a bit, I wonder if people got some emails. | | | Re: TinCan Tri

So far only one insult, and a bunch of opinions. You go trolling for insults and get nothing. There is some really quick witted people on there for sure. Well, they seem to mostly just not like the video! But, as far as the video goes - how did you get your video to look so clear on YouTube? The things I've tried go from clear to crap when they get posted there. Quite the thread hijack here... | | |
