I Made my First Sail
 

20 foot jib. 100% canvas.

Just thought you should know. :D







Row, row, row your boat....

our local lake doesn't allow internal combusion engines which eliminates gas, alcohol and diesel engines.

An old Yamaha Exciter 135 hull with waterpump, 300 pounds of batteries where the gasoline used to be, and an electric motor would give enough RPMs to get the boat to 45 with 5 passengers. I figured a two hour duty cycle per recharge. However, at idle, the boat wouldn't be using power.

Conversely, I figured, a propane powered steam engined day boat would be cool. Not nearly the speed demon that the electric jet would have done, but, probably 12mph with 8-10 people, a nice gantry for folks to disembark at picnic destinations, and, able to handle rougher waters.

Then, there's always the j-boat or hobie cat. I saw a j-boat on the lake one day and thought, now there's a guy that knows how to have fun. A j-boat with a rigid sail would be pretty slick and sized about right for this lake. However, I lack the decorations on the lake that Chop has.

Can you make a Useless Rigid Sail for a j-boat?

Could it be a new business for you? Useless Sails.... has sort of a catchy ring to it.

WOOT.. now get back to work.. i hear that sails will be in great demand after hurricane season.

ROTFLMAO :D

Congrats UW I hope you make lots more |thumb

A window on one of the canvas doors for my jeep is coming unstitched. Your post reminded me I need to stop at a local sailmaker's and get a big needle and some heavy thread.

Congrats on reminding me. |thumb

And many more! :D

I remember when I made my first sale. It was for an AVS Platinum site featuring Briana Banks.

Now I'm picturing her in a row boat. Her long legs way up in the air with silk panties stretched between them and the wind blowing us across the lake.

I haven't even started drinking yet.

Congrats!

My sails all have a unique patent-pending design which prevents wind damage. One day, while sitting at a traffic light in town, I noticed that the banner hanging across the street (announcing some sort of fair) had rows of curved slits through it, which allow the wind to pass through the banner rather than forcing the banner and its restraints to fight the forces of nature.

My new sails have those genius pass-thru slits, so they really are useless sails.|thumb

One of my friends makes sailboats, I can bring you in contact with him.

Congrats and may more :D

|haha that's truly a post only UW could have come up with |thumb

Only you would row a sail boat.
|hammer


Congrats on the sail though. I'm sure you will make many more in the future! |bananna|

Damn you were late in your post. Bo just destroyed about 100 useless boats that could have used your useless sails. He does have an old sewing machine for sail.

Maybe I can use that on my Shrimp boat . . . .Shrimp is the fruit of the sea ya know. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, sautee it. There's, um, shrimp kebabs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo, pan fried, deep fried, stir fried. There's pineapple shrimp and lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich...

Great... with all this talk of sailing, I now have Christopher Cross going through my head. That's a cruel thing to do to anybody, UW.

sweet & sour shrimp...mmmm yummy now I'm hungry :)

You forgot shrimp with potatoes, shrimp qiche, shrimp sushi, shrimp tandoori, shrimp casserole, curried shrimp and shrimp curry, shrimp rolls, shrimp pie... I think... I think that's about it.

I had him autograph my T-shirt at a concert in Orlando FL, back in the 80's. He wrote it right on my right boob. |bananna|

UW was in concert in Orlando in the 80's?

Yes, I was 18 and working on my wind-powered submarine design.

UW wrote on Lorsha's right boob. I am sure it is gone by now. Since he is less than an hour away from her, maybe he can drive over and redo it.

I was having a bad day and in a pissy mood. Now I feel better and I am hungry! Thanks UW :)

I was in Orlando for a short time this morning. But UW wasn't there. |potleaf|

That would be Christopher Cross who did the writing, lol. And it was on the T - shirt, "over" my right boob. |bananna|

|noclue| Okay wait wait okay no wait okay . . . so some dude named Christopher Cross signed your UW concert T-shirt?

LOL!

I think I'm spending too much time in this forum... this conversation actually makes sense. |loony|

Lorsha, did you know UW T-shirts make excellent cum rags? |thumb
