Although I have been "landlocked" for my sailing for the last 15
years,

Yup

it is at the home of Valiant Yachts. If there is a more
seaworthy boat built, I have yet to see it.

Go to any sal****er marina and you will find plenty of more seaworthy boats
than a Valiant. Valiant is a huge marketing success but it is generally
considered by knowledgeable, scientifically trained sailors to be about a knot
and half slower for its size and design than it should be. Salty looking boat,
though, and that does have market appeal.

Bob Perry would say different, but then Bob has publicly called me an asshole,
but Bob has also publicly stated that he has struggled with math all his life,
a statement on his part that I do not doubt.
