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

layer for granted.

The ice is in my veins...... thus my need for high test spirits and sultry
