Poor Booby just shows he knows nothing about racing. I've raced in
hundreds of one design races, and been on race committees for
hundreds, if not thousands more. And I expect Doug has done even more
racing than I.

So tell us Bob, if someone has already won the regatta, and the last
race is a throwout, how seriously do you think they take the race? Do
you think he might give the helm to someone else? Let another crew
work foredeck? Do they even bother to start?

How about if there are two boats in the lead coming into the last
race, and all of the others are out of it? Do you think that maybe
they'll let the last place boat go off on a flyer the might pay off?

Sorry, booby. The Bene was in last place after 7 races; the fact that
the won the last one doesn't mean squat. Except, of course, that you
know nothing about racing.

I've never met a racer who EVER took any race lightly. They want to win
everytime and work hard to do better no matter how far ahead they might
be.

Jeff, who doesn't own a proper sailboat is now king of the fools! Doug
is a powerboater and still feels the need to chime in like an idiot.
Who new someone could be dumber than Sloco? Who knew TWO people could
be dumber?

Runnerup: Doug telling Ozzy "nice boat" after Ozzy posts pics of one of
the ugliest cats ever. It's as though he desperately needs his love!
Mooron, always a man, acted like a man and spared no one's feelings!

Amazing!!!!
