I've been writing about Etchells in here long before
Oz arrived. My first post on the subject was 1996/06/04.

By the way, E-Ticket, and White Knuckle are both names
of boats in San Francisco. E-Ticket is the ticket you buy
at an amusement park to get on the best rides.

Avalanche and Nosebleed were nicknames for two trails I
used to ski at Lake Tahoe.

Any of which would be good names for an Etchells.

Finally, HOOT is a "hoot" to sail. ECHO is big and comfortable, and
a nice party boat, but not as much fun to sail. HOOT is an E-ticket
white knuckle, avalanche, nose-bleed of a ride.

Bart.... ignore Oz.
