Sorry, if it's was a bit over-populistic. What I had in mind was just that
25% of the boats in the Challenge, Volvo Ocean race and so on are facing
equipment problem. - and we don't judge these bad quality. Just "high tech".

No doubt that Bavaria 42 Match has a problem. - and thereby Bavaria as such

Sorry for the customers that spend money on these. I guess it will be hard
to get a good price on a used 42 Match without extensive, and expensive,
improvements to the hull.

I'm not especially fund of Bavaria. I just think I should counterbalance the
little group of sailors that seems to think that onle ineffective,
non-computerised oldfashioned work is "good quality".

Remember the definition of "good qulity": That is when you get exactly what
you expect. Good or bad.

You have to be joking Bjarke! Even in racing boats,
keel bolts have backing plates. This is an obvious
error in construction and reveal serious quality control

I agree, it was such a silly comment I thought it better not
to respond. "It happens every day on performance boats" !!!
