In the video, if all the lines are converging, how is it that the boat is immune from this same rate of converging?  I don't understand how all the lines can converge to a single vanishing point, yet the boat somehow does not behave in the same manner.  Sorry, but the explanation lacks proof.

What about my second question?  If the flat earth is like a disk, how come boats sailing the greater distance near the edge of the disk are significantly faster than boats sailing a shorter course further away from the edge?

My observation in the first question is that the boats trailing behind don't converge to a vanishing point, but rather appear to sink into the horizon.  The same observation can be seen in greater detail with binoculars, I can actually see the trailing boats become obscured by the horizon line yet still see details of the masthead.

Sir,

The whole point is that boat's mast remains at the same relative level. I say relative because it is getting "smaller" as it goes away from you. If it were a globe, the mast would be descending absolutely. This very short video illustrates this even better than the one I posted earlier. The hull disappears because it is the first to be "eaten up" by the convergence.







As for your second question; are you talking about the Vendee globe? If you look at the race route, you will see, that while it is advertised as going around the Antartic, in fact it just goes around the capes.

I admit that this is further on a flat earth map. We are not rigidly attached to the maps, and are open to correction.

The whole race could also be faked.

In any case, it is a man made race, as opposed to a God-made flat horizon with no curvature. The latter always trumps.

Thanks for your reply.  Regarding the first question, I'm going to agree to disagree with you.  I witness first hand the observations reported and those observations conflict with the explanation you are providing.  For myself, I feel it is ok to disagree in this case.

To the second question, this response is interesting.  The course is to leave all the capes to port, so from a globalist perspective sailing around Antarctica would be the same as sailing sailing around the capes, in other words, the course is the same in either description.

I am glad we agree that sailing a course closer to Antarctica would require covering a greater distance than sailing a course closer to the capes.  I'm going to dismiss the notion that the "whole race could be faked" in that this is pure speculation on your part and I could easily dismiss this topic in the same manner.

The final sentence from you in the quote above is the same as comparing apples and oranges, and really doesn't advance your hypothesis in any way.

I would like to thank you for your reply to my questions.

I have never given this subject much thought, so please excuse my ignorance. I would like to know where  the flat-earth proponents believe the ends of the flat expanse to be, what they are like, and what happens if someone attempts to go beyond them.
