No problem with a re-post: It's a unique Monty. Your GASP makes sense. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: ">Mboats<" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, January 14, 2003 11:08 PM Subject: Minnesota 17 spotted
Sorry if that's a re-post. I don't know if my understanding is a GASP....Generally Accepted Sailing Principle....:o) but I take the term to mean that if a boat is "knocked down" with it's mast horizontal or possibly touching the water that it will right itself. The unballasted dinghies I've sailed all seemed to want to go on over at that point unless the crew is doing something like standing on the centerboard. Tod ---------- I think I may have posted a link for this same boat a few months back: If I remember right, the pic then showed it in the water. Very cool hull color. One thing I'm curious about, does Hooper's use the phrase "self righting" correctly? For instance, to mean that it has ballast down low so is more like to regain its feet without help than, say, a Laser? I don't know if I've seen the phrase "self righting" previously to describe the 17'. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: ">Mboats<" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, January 13, 2003 11:12 PM Subject: Minnesota 17 spotted saw this ad at Hoopers web page: http://www.hoopersyachts.com/usedboats_one.cfm?usedboatid=361 _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats
