How would you know? I know you haven't sailed the 146, because it's a rare boat
being it's so new. And I know you haven't sailed an Apollo 16 ft, because it's
a rare boat being so old. So I know you don't know what you're talking about
(But when has that ever stopped someone from spewing hot air?).

Excuse me?
I have sailed an AMF Apollo. If you thought it
was slow, you probably didn't have it tuned
properly.
I have sailed a Hunter 146. We have been dealing
with JY/Hunter for over a decade and have some
experience almost every boat they produce
(dinghies). Give a call to Cutter Smith at HCT
and ask him how many of his boats we own.
You *seem* to *know* an awful lot about me, but
unfortunately your information *seems* wrong.

PS. Would you like to buy some JY14/Hunter 140's?
We have a fleet we're selling off.

Actually, now that I think of it: The AMF Apollo was narrower and longer than
the 146, so the difference in speed is probably the result of our increased
sailing abilities. A more narrow and longer boat would naturally be faster,
given the same sail area.

(w-w-w-wait a minute. h-h-h-h-he didn't acknowledge my decade of experience.
H-h-h-e thinks it's all his idea! Acknowledge me! I insist that you acknowledge
me and my experience. I-i-i insist!)

Uh huh. Better get the facts. I'd put money on Pony having sailed both
boats. I have and he gets around more than I do.

When has a sense of false bravado prevented anyone from listening to the
truth?

You sound just like Bertie, you never used that phrase until he did
repeatedly about a year ago. Even BB picked it up for a couple of months.
