To be honest, I expected no less. I know I'm dealing
with a bunch of people who have no real sailing skills

Neal, I have no doubt that you can sail. But I do, at times, question the gear

If your happy with it that's all that counts. If Scotty could learn to be happy
with something modest he'd be less of a target.
