Super Snark was a so-so beginner's boat, but slower than molasses and
really didn't give much indication that you were getting it right. I
literally sailed rings around one in my Laser. Then we switched places
and he sailed (slower) rings around me. I couldn't get that thing to get
out of its own way.


Snarks don't sail fast with fat persons at the helm.


At the time, I had a 30" waist and about 150#, and the other guy was
lighter.

Few have ever accused me of being fat, though I don't have the abs I had
when I raced the Laser.

Have you taken a good look in a full length mirror lately?

Can't stop eating long enough to pose for a photo? Looks like that stomach
is larger in diameter than the chest - a bad sign at any age. And look at
the size of that woman! My gawd!
