There's a lot of people out there who don't know much about technology
or anything else. They bluster about it and BS but really don't improve
or master anything they touch. Some find sailing philosophy so difficult
to comprehend they may revert to motor boats and wander around calm
water while polluting the earth with their foul fumes.
It's not nice to talk about DSK behind his back.
While I can see you might think I was referring to Doug and his smelly
power boat, I was thinking about how many 'sailors' get power boats when
they reach the age of maturity and can afford them. In Doug's case it is
a shame he did not buy a big yacht instead of a power boat but there you
have it. Did you know that he claimed to have sailed a 40' boat single
handed and taken the spinnaker down to windward without it getting wet?
With such skills I wonder why he would not want a really fast cruiser
racer like mine -it's much faster and quieter than his power boat -even
under power!
Other people may
brag about their expertise in sail trim and sailing without the feeling
or passion it takes to be a real sailor. You can spot the latter for
they always post pictures with glaring sail trim errors and the like.
You shouldn't talk about Bobsprit behind his back.
Most people here have posted pictures of terrible sail trim -as I've
pointed out, although Booby tends to motor more than sail -as his latest
sailing pictures affirm.
