Ah, Bob - They're talking about powerboats there, not sailboats.


Ah, NO there not. Read it again. It's for the realease of 5 NEW
SAILBOAT engines.

Nope. Read it again. They never actually refer to semi-planing
sailboats. The do say they can be used in sailboats. And they say
the have a complete range of engines for different types of boats
including semi-planing. But they don't mention semi-planing
sailboats. And you could also look on the Volvo site - I doubt
you'll find a single reference to semi-planing sailboats.

This is just the latest in a long, long list of cases where you claim
to be authoritative, but in fact you're just making things up!




And while you're right that semi-plane is more
commonly used for powerboats, it's used on occasion for sailboats. I've
heard it and it's online of course. Loco said it's NEVER used and he
certainly NEVER heard it. The term exists. Period.
