99% of stink boat owners are dickheads !

Kindest regards Bear

Now Now Bear, what has brought on a rash outburst and a conclusion like that?
Greg.

Bear you have stink boat and so do you Greg ?? Stink boat = diesel

John, Mine doesn't stink.
In fact I can use biodiesel or recycled vegetable oil and fill the bay with the smell of Fish and Chips.
"I love the smell of fat in the morning"!
I forget who said that now?

I think a stinkboat is one that burns hydrocarbons to achieve propulsion. Yes, I have a diesel in my boat but just like a Phantom Agent I only use it as a last resort(a necessary evil as Chichester called it). I refuse to motorsail unless I am trying to avoid a lee shore. Heck, it took me 9hrs last yr to sail back from Sydney due to my reluctance to use the iron genoa. I also always try to sail through the Brisbane Waters entrance past Half-tide rocks and have succeeded on many occasions without having to resort to auxiliary power.

So Bear I think we should take offence at being lobbed in with the STINK BOATERS. We are 'rag men' born and bred!

Mark

Only that many???
I would have thought the % would be higher.

Has been from my experience.

Hey Greg

That's must be why all the seagulls hang around your yacht ! because it must smells like a fish and chip shop. Then again I thought seagulls liked crapping on Mk3's



Mark I sail everywhere only because my Beintrouble has everybody bluffed ? So no black balloons coming out of my exhaust
