Default Donal Hates Your Boat

A true point.

I think you miss the point. Donal is objecting to your _endless_
bragging of performance in what is basically a slow old design. You
cannot say she is the most beautiful or well finished boat either. That
it suits you as a stepping stone to learn some more about sailing we are
sure, but it is also clear that you don't really know what you want
-except that it should enable you in some way to say it is better than
others boats. This is a bit akin to the childish ploy of "My toy is
better than yours so I'm superior". Alas for you, everyone else here has
a boat that they _know_ is better than yours.



I have a 35 y/o 12' daysailer with a torn mainsail. It's a better boat
than Bob****'s, because *he doesn't own a boat*.
