BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA...... like Dude! That entire paragraph is pure
poetry in baiting!

Well Done! ;-D

Let's see...

Question: does adding weight make the boat sail faster? Does adding
weight on the transom, digging the aft end of the boat into the water,
make it sail faster?

Here are the possible range of verities:
1- yes (counterpoint- this would contradict all sailing knowledge from
prehistory up to today... this is why you don't see 300# motors on the
transoms of America's Cup yachts)


But you do see umpires!

Hahhahahahhaha

That depends on who you are making reference to and if you are privy to
information I'm not aware about.

This charming lady I'm introduced to at a lounge in Yellowknife asks me what
type of woman I'm looking for......
I replied.... "An Amazon Warrior Princess whose deepest desire is to
know the feeling of total submission to her Man!"........ unfortunately
for me she was an accountant and despite her assets... fell short of the
mark.

I'm surprised you met anyboday at a lounge in Yelloknife, according to Jax, everyone there is cowering beind locked doors with loaded weapons in
mortal fear of marauding man-eating bears, ( see the recent handgun-sailing thread).
