| One must remember that RB's boat was designed over 20 years ago when disco
| was king and the science of computational hydrodynamics was sorely lacking
| due to limited computational means available to designers. RB's yacht was
| designed by rules of thumb, a little trial and error and almost no
| optimization. Computer power was highly inadequate in the mid-80's and stone
| age-like compared to the computation power available today. Think of pac-man
| back then and X-Box today. Rob's yacht, though it may have a few good
| points, is of Pac-Man technology. Today's performance sailboat designs will
| run circles around his boat designed in the era of donkey kong platform
| shoes.

| Amen!


I can tell that Crantz and Gilligan are both jealous of Capt. Rob's fine
vessel.

It will be the lava lakes for you both if you do not repent of your
coveting.

Amen and Praise.
