Right. It's now clear that whenever you talk about beating boats
you're really just out-pointing them while in fact going slower
upwind. It seems you don't want a boat that performs well, you want a
boat the gives the illusion of performing well while being poorly
handled. I guess that suits your style.



Ah well, for a moment I was under the impression Jeff was capable of an
actual sailing discussion. Nope. He flipped it into a troll.
The fun of sailing for you is all about getting somewhere. For us it's
the sailing. That's why we'd never buy a dull Cat like yours.
And I must say your the first "sailor" I ever heard talk about VMG
being the end all element of a boat's pointing ability. You choose to
foot off for better speed, while some will hand off speed to pinch. You
talk like footing off is the only way to sail. Just like Doug thinks
his trawler is the only way to sail. Just like Sloco is locked into his
little racing world.
