In general, sailing has little to do with brand names and other
consumerist claptrap.

Right! Doug says sailing has little to do with the boat!!!

Well, no, nice try, tho. It is NOT about what "quality" your boat is or how
much electronic crap you can accumulate even if you don't know how to use it -
all that lets you do is try to put another sailor down. Which for you IS what
its all about. Sad, really.
