If you can't enjoy sailing by yourself and must have other boats cruising
in company then you're no sailor. Give it up, man! Trying to sail in a
group puts you at the mercy of the least competent of the bunch. Do you
really want that? Do you really wish to be ruled by the lowest common
denominator? Held back by stupid inept people like Skippy and his
breakdown-prone, system-laden pig of a Morgan? That's not sailing.

Translation: No one wants to sail with Capt Neal on the chance they might
end up downwind of his mustard/mauve barge.

That's not the translation. The translation is that Wilbur (or
whoever) can't read because the OP hasn't sailed in company and is
asking for advice on how it works. Which is the opposite situation to
the response.
