hard as as it is for the Crab Crusher Mafia to swallow, fin keel boats
have sailed round Cape Horn... in fact I bet by now that more fin keelers
have...

Discounting them, there's no doubt at all that fin keelers would be in
the majority. Including the old commercial sailing vessels, it might be
a closer call than you think... how many rounded the Horn in a given
year on average? Anyway, it's for sure that no more are going to, so
it's only a matter of time.
