donaldsc Posted March 20, 2023 #51 Share Posted March 20, 2023 We did a recent trip on the Clipper Cruise Lines Star Flyer. The Star Flyer is a full rigged sailboat. Sailboats heel which is a lot of fun and the greater the wind the more they heel. Occasionally you get a good puff of wind. On this day we had a steady good wind so we were cruising along at about a 10 to 15 degree heel and the kitchen was handling it w/o problems. You all know where this is heading to. We got a really good puff and based on what 15 degrees felt like we must have gone to 20 to 25 degrees followed by a big crash and a lot of yelling in the kitchen. It was a hoot. BTW - l of the sails blew out at that time and the sail master or whatever they call him spent almost a week patching it. One of the things that he used was the biggest sewing machine I have ever seen. DON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
