Which aggravates Bubbles, because he *can't* sail a dinghy.

Of course, but they still convey signifigance. For example,
I'd be willing to pay $100 to see Bobsprit trying to sail a
Laser in, say, ten or twelve knots of breeze. It would be a
serious contender on Funniest Home Videos.

Bob's always claiming he's prepared to race anyone, any time. Someone
close to him should borrow a couple of dinghys and challenge him. No
way he can fake it when he's gotta s/h.

Preferably off a shoal lee shore in 10-15 knots, as you say. My place
would be perfect, shoal water and oyster covered rocks, but wrong
country and we don't want any more fat blowhards here.
