------To increase intelligence--------

Neal,

You mean something like avoiding have to erect a Bimini to protect you
from the elements because you don't have a boat with proper shelter?
Like buying a vessel without an engine and then having to hang one from
the transom because you need an engine? Using a multitude of of head
sailing instead of a single sail on a furler? ( 13% genny )You mean like
championing an area of warm weather for sailing and then building a "Tin
Can Heater" to keep warm?

Is that what you mean Bunkie? Neal, there are a lot of boats built for
intelligent sailors. You do have to have some intelligence to recognize
them:^)
