Good point. You've avoided that situation very handily, haven't you?
OTOH you have also missed the joys & thrills of sailing high
performance racing craft.

discussion from a couple or three armchair sailors about what to do when
it's already too late.

If you can do something, it's not "too late" is it?
And if racing a boat of the same type & class as in the picture for 8
years makes me an "armchair sailor" then I guess that makes you a
"total landlubber."



.... Man, are you people ever pathetic
in your attitude and in your idea of sailing. Just plain disgusting as a
matter of fact.


So why are you hanging around?
