As a not too long ago "sailboater" I agree with the comments about halyards
slapping. They are very annoying. But I believe it has more to do with the
inconsiderate attitude of the boat owner than what kind of boat it is. We have
found the halyards slapping against trawler masts also. Chuck

I have to chine in here, as the "blowboaters" are once again at arms!

Yes, us stinkpotters use our generators.
No, most are quiet.
No, I have not experiences an exhaust problem from a generator yet, however 
it could happen,

What I have experienced on too Many occasions, it the damn halyard on the 
friggin riggin pounding all nite against the mast disturbing the entire 
anchorage! How can anyone sleep on a boat with a line pounding against the
mast  like
that.

There, I vented, feel better, thanks. 

See you on  the Waterways!
