I don't have any interest in racing. My boat just happens to be one of
the fastest here.

Instead of chest-thumping, how about some proof?

Point: whether your boat is one of the fastest in your region is
superfluous. More important is whether YOU are one of the fastest sailors.
My guess is that they are hundreds who can beat you and your boat with
lesser machines.
