Why is it that sailing boats can manage perfectly well without a reverse gear/brakes but a motor boat seemingly can't?

Why is it that sailing boats can only seem to tack erratically when a motor cruiser is heading toward them but can hold a straight line if the approaching vessel is another saily

Why do we have to have flappy thingies at all, ought to be banned, the lot of em

Just kidding of course. When safely moored up I love the sound of the sails flapping on a gentle breeze, just don't like trying to pass one zig zagging all over the ruddy place

Two big hand fulls of wheel to port, then four to starboard, all the way down the Ant comes to mind, going bank to bank all the way down.

Too obvious attempt....be more subtle next time.

Surprised you ever caught any fish.

Another thought for the day, for how much longer will the PC feminist brigade allow us to call boats 'she'?

Ladies, like boats, should have shapely transoms!

Blimey JM, you must have been on the sauce and had target painted on your head.

All women and boats have shapely transoms, just some are the wrong shape.

Perhaps I should have written 'have transoms that are pleasing to the eye' then !

No you shouldn't

You should have said boats are beautiful, women are beautiful,  (it would be OK to have your fingers crossed behind your back)

Stop digging
