It's a notch below "stupid" to say that a builder "does not
charge enough" when they build the best boat possible for
the service, and charge accordingly.



Doug, you really crack me up. Have you ever been aboard a Farr built
boat? They are not built with a cost-no-factor mentality. Few boats
are.
The Whitlock system is naturally more responsive and direct than a
cable based system. It's also far more reliable at about 3 times the
cost. Plenty of premium builders of performance yachts are using R&P
systems, which I already proved. Oh, and a R&P system weighs less too.
But the cost (and some wheel placement issues) is not up to the
performance/reliability advantages in the minds of some builders. And
BTW, are you sure Farr has never used the Whitlock Cobra system???

Catching you assholes is sooo damn easy. I especially like your comment
about "one person" telling others how to sail. I usually don't do that.
Play with your toys as you please, but get the RIGHT toys!
