Huh? What? You have regattas where the boats have no rating? A few nuts in
dinghy's, informally racing, is not a regatta. A regatta implies a formal
sanctioned event. Joe has probably never participated in a real regatta in
his
whole sorry life. Certainly not in a boat he owns. He's some sort of a
longshoreman or cable TV installer or something who lives in a
semi-derelict old
motor-sailor which he once surmised was built as an ocean racer.

I said race, not regatta. I can't speak to what Joe does or doesn't do. Nor
can I speak with authority about what you, Bob, or many others do or don't.
I know and have sailed with a few people here, so I can attest to what they
do or whether or not what they claim to be true is likely true or not.

I notice you used the word "probably," which is wise, since you probably
don't know either. And, I think we need to leave it up to Joe to tell the
truth about whether or not he races on his boat.
