Fair winds and following seas is a gesture of good will toward all. It is a term of endearment shared between friends when they are parting company. I am surprised that many of you appear to have never heard it or at least are not familiar with it.

If you do a Google search you will see how wide spread its use is. Fair winds never bring undue following seas and it is meant to convey the benefit of the wind at your back as you travel forward in your life thus easing your journey and not hindering your progress.

Heard of t? Yes? Agree with it? No.

Fair Wind? Why? We're not sailing - and who needs the waves?

Following seas are awful on an F32 (and maybe other F boats).

So - the Trojan gesture of good will should be "No winds, light seas, a full tank and a bottomless cooler".

Just ribbing you a little! Still stuck in the midwest and yearning for home ...

Cheers!

And I guess you never been on a F32 in a following sea ( not that a F36 is great) and yes I have heard it before and most understand what it means . but do a search on following seas here.

I have never noticed any particular problem with following seas on my 36 tri-cabin. I have only had it for one year but last summer on a couple of occasions I was in 4-6 foot following seas and didn't notice that the boat handled in any unexpected or undesirable way for that sea condition.

I guess I am not aware of the problems that you that have the F32's are talking about; but they sound serious. I have never even been on an F32 that is underway so I have no practical experience from which to draw.
