He isn't here any more and so he's not consistant in anything that we know
about.

{sp: consistent} Not true, the Good Captain stayed the course.

He sailed a crappy boat, an ugly boat and issued dangerous advise on a
regular basis.

The Good Captain rightfully chose function over form. His advice was only
dangerous to those who were not expert mariners such as he.


When his boat suffered a broken boom, he made a questionable
repair.

He showed extreme resourcefullness. The repair still functions perfectly
today and it is the optimal repair for that condition.

When his boat needed new sails, he sought out a bargain rather than
finding better sails.

The Good Captain can set his sails so well and his boat responds so quickly
and efficiently(because of its highly modified hull form) that there is very
little force upon the rigging and sails.


He's a lot like Scotty Potti but with a marginally better
boat.

That's a great compliment to Scotti. I really like his Siedelberg boat.
