Mommys Gone Crazy

In answer to the comment that all Olympic competitors have coaches and coach boats: That's a good indication that sailing should remove itself from the Olympics and return to its former status as an amateur sport. In answer to the comment about cheating, I think Tillerman is too trusting.

Coaches whose kids don't succeed don't get hired; all the incentives are in the dangerous direction. Most coaches are honest; that's not good enough. Of course coaches are valuable in practice sessions; a regatta is a test of sailors, not coaches. Monday, January 03, Mommies Gone Wild. We've had a good rant intelligent rational discussion here before about the topic of Mommy Boats, the pestilence of so-called "coach boats" that infest an increasing number of Laser regattas these days. Some agreed with me, that the "mommification" of our sport has gone too far.

The practice of certain sailors having Mommy Boats bringing them warm coats and hot drinks between races, and of course towing them to and from the course area, is undermining the spirit of independence and self-reliance which is the very essence of our sport of single-handed sailing.

Others pointed out the unfairness of a competition in which only a few competitors have Mommy Boat drivers to provide them with physical and moral support, not to mention passing on information obtained by radio from other Mommy Boat drivers of what the wind is doing around the course. Of course access to a Mommy Boat gives a sailor an unfair advantage. That's why, at the highest levels of competition, the major international Laser regattas, almost every sailor has a Mommy Boat.

You can't hope to compete at that level without your Mommy to help you. And it's getting worse.

All these Mommy Boats get in the way of the competitors and interfere with the racing. Sometimes race organizers try and write Sailing Instructions to keep the dratted Mommy Boats away from the race area but it's not working. A case in point was an incident that happened at Sail Melbourne a few weeks ago. In spite of that the following incident as reported by the International Jury happened When starting in the afternoon on Charlie Course the Laser Standard class and their coach boats caused problems by going through 2 course areas whilst earlier fleets were still racing.

The jury were requested by the Charlie Race Officer to assist in clearing the boats, especially near the inner loop gate. This was done but numerous competitors were intransigent and the jury were moving close to one Laser when a fast moving coach boat came towards the jury boat and Laser.

The driver had to make an immediate fast turn to port to avoid a collision which would have ended in damage. In doing so, the other judge who was sitting on the sponson talking to the competitor ended up in the water under the hull. The driver responded very quickly in turning off the engine preventing serious injury. There is another account of the same incident as reported by one of the sailors and which differs in some details at Unruly.

It's bad enough that some Laser sailors were "intransigent" in not responding to requests from jury boats to clear the course area on which another fleet was already racing.

It is unforgivable that their Mommy Boats were on the course at all, in clear violation of the SIs. And it is absolutely shameful that one Mommy Boat driver almost caused an accident that could have seriously injured one of the judges. What can be done to deal with this menace? Clearly it is not enough to state in the SIs that Mommy Boats must not be on the race area after the first prep signal of the day; in this case the Mommy Boat drivers just ignored the SIs. What sanctions can be used to enforce such a rule?

My husband responded that what was going on was that we are tired of having to pick up after his dog because he refuses to curb her and clean up her excrement. For those of you who are not aware of what this racial epithet means, let me enlighten you. As a result, my husband advised this crazy guy that it was a good time for him to go inside his house if he wanted to keep his teeth. The next day, I met with his perfectly normal and wonderful wife. She promptly begged for forgiveness and admitted that their 21 year old daughter had indeed admitted to letting their dog defecate and urinate in front of our house and not cleaning up after her.

I expressed my concerns over the fact that I work hard to keep the outside of my home clean and that my children play there where I am constantly having to pick up after her dog. She was apologetic and I think she kicked Crazy Guy out of the house because he left with a suitcase a short while after our conversation. To make a long story short, she eventually let him move back in at the end of the week and he approached my husband to apologize for the racial remark that he made. He also went on to say that he is seeing a Psychiatrist and that he takes prescription medication.

I am beyond disgusted. And to insinuate that you were just overly sensitive…Reason why people suck…lol. Chela, I completely agree with you.

People who use racial epithets know exactly what they mean and how they feel when they use them. It just publicizes how they have always felt deep down inside. This guy definitely sucks big time and he does not know how much he offended us by even going there.

I feel your pain.

Really, how hard is it to just stay on your own property? We have a set of neighbors with 4 boys. Those kids are all over. It drives me nuts. We have 2 boys of our own and we never let them out of our yard to wander all over. Fences make good neighbors… not the best but good is better than nothing. Mona, I completely agree with you.

I hope he has gotten the message. You are a lucky woman, Lori. The good news is that he is renting which means that he will hopefully be leaving at some point. Use the HTML below. You must be a registered user to use the IMDb rating plugin.
