Wow...

[Nessa]

what's worrying is I glanced at that on fleaBay and didn't notice anything amiss. But I have seen that done.

I've seen an Enterprise sailing around like that at Whitefriars in the past, but the gaff bending so spectacularly adds another dimension.

... but might be good on downwind legs...?

Serious question, would this point like this? (I am not going to try it).

[solentgal]

Yes....spotted this and was going to post it on the thread about training etc.......a wonderful example of something that should never have left the shore.....and, more importantly, is the sort of stupidity that puts our life-boat crews at unnecessary risk, and will eventually lead to everyone needing some sort of certificate to go afloat. This makes me really mad I'm afraid......but luckily by the time safety afloat (on the coast, anyway) is policed, I will probably be arranging my own Viking send off!

Can I remind everyone that this is public forum so this thread has been moderated and posts deleted

Whilst the rigging issue is valid please be careful about making assumptions about the boat and the content of the eBay advert.

If you want further information please contact the seller via eBay rather than making assumptions and posting them here.

Sorry.
Looks like I've been hanging round Sailing Anarchy too long
