Good thing I don't race. (unless there is another boat nearby)

You should try racing. It's fun and it'll make a better sailor out of
you. I've noticed
if you try to *race* another boat informally and if you get ahead you'll
notice them
starting to catch up again. It's because they turn on the motor as soon as
they think
you can't hear it.

Cheers,

Gosh I would love to be a better sailor. You think racing might help? I like
night racing....the noisy turning of empty winches...the progressively
thicker layer of scotch tape across the stern light. Launching those little
glow sticks into the dark with a slingshot....
