I've seen photos of your boat, Willy. It's the floating equivalent of
a cardboard appliance box a homeless guy might sleep in in a city
alley somewhere.
Your trite rejoinder is a crass example of issue-avoidance typical of
failed liberal types! It's nothing more than an extended ad hominem
attack posted to avoid arguing the merits of my erudite observations
due either to lack of experience, dearth of intellectual acumen,
and/or
a stubborn unwillingness to admit "if the shoe fits, wear it!"
As soon as you post an erudite observation on boating, I'll comment on
it. My sailing experience goes back to the 1950's when I began "junior"
club racing Blue Jays and Lightnings on Long Island Sound. My father
also commissioned an L16 from Bill Luders yard, so I certainly know what
a good-looking sailboat looks like. I've had other sailboats since, but
never one as butt-ugly as yours.
Of course, you don't actually sail that boat, do you.
