Does tugboat talk really belong in a sailing news group?


Yes.


Do sailboats
really need batteries? Mine does just fine with no
battery.


*Real* sailboats have batteries.

I don't think so. There are tugboat groups surely :-)

My sailboat is real and it doesn't have a battery. It doesn't have a motor either.
I wonder if there are any purists here.

Capt. Neal is kewl. I agree with his philosophy. (except the part where he puts women down but I think
