| | One must remember that RB's boat was designed over 20 years ago when
| disco
| | was king and the science of computational hydrodynamics was sorely
| lacking
| | due to limited computational means available to designers. RB's yacht
| was
| | designed by rules of thumb, a little trial and error and almost no
| | optimization. Computer power was highly inadequate in the mid-80's and
| stone
| | age-like compared to the computation power available today. Think of
| pac-man
| | back then and X-Box today. Rob's yacht, though it may have a few good
| | points, is of Pac-Man technology. Today's performance sailboat designs
| will
| | run circles around his boat designed in the era of donkey kong platform
| | shoes.
| |
| | Amen!

| I can tell that Crantz and Gilligan are both jealous of Capt. Rob's fine
| vessel.
|
| It will be the lava lakes for you both if you do not repent of your
| coveting.
|
| Amen and Praise.

| Rest assured I am not capable of jealousy for I own a fine blue water
| cruiser with a large, spacious oversize cockpit. More importantly, the fine
| vessel is colored yellow!

| Glory!!

Yellow???? Ha ha ha ha ha! What are you, a Capt. Neal wannabe?
Yellow is no color for a sailboat. And large spacious cockpits are
not very safe for a blue water cruiser. What if you get pooped.
Will it flood the interior or put the boat so badly out of trim
that she looks like a pig in the wallow?

Hosanna!
