Evidence!!!?????

Aw fer gawd's sake... it's a boat ain't it? We've all seen Macs sailing...
pounding to weather in a 10 knot breeze.... helplessly drifting into a
lee shore, unable to claw off with a 15 knot wind on the beam....
accidental gybing, repeatedly on a gentle run.

But my all time favourite is that image burned into my retinas of what
appears to be a boat sinking stern first as it try's in futility to climb
out of the hole in a desperate attempt get on plane.....
Bwahahahahahahahahaaa a 50 HP kicker can't push that pig out of a hole!...
what chance does the wind have?

No hard feelings Jim...... the boat is a bad choice all around. That's all
there is to it!
