Challenge me at your own risk. I will, no doubt, leave floundering in my
wake any sailboat up to and including 32-footers.


The term is 'foundering' unless you are a fish.

I really hate to testify on behalf of Willieboy but:

flounder ~ verb

1. walk with great difficulty
He floundered along in the heavy snow
2. behave awkwardly; have difficulties
She is floundering in college

Cheers,

You're right... foundering is sinking. Of course, there are flounders
also.
