Depends on what you mean by "best."

Best all around Doug. Is that too hard a concept for you to envision?

Oh sure, no prob.
Like, it's very easy to have a car that's the "best all around" the
fastest, most powerful, best gas mileage, most comfortable... it's so
easy, people who don't have cars like that must be friggin' stupid....

Best means the best shape, and best care, and best preformance. Are
you telling me a crunched up sail dragging the lifelines has good flow
around the foot?

Better than one that is cut 2' above the deck. Plus more sail area.



If you are happy with a sail crunched up over a hand rail and or
lifelines feel free to partake. Oh I forgot...you do not have a
sailboat do you?

Not at the moment. However I have owned more different kinds of boats
than you've sailed in your life, and sailed more than you've ever
heard of. Currently I am out cruising... and you?

OK, in that case you'll be a year behind us.

Having a great time, thanks.

Sailing across oceans is boring, 99.999% of the time... unless you're
racing... and the exciting bit is usually due more to bad planning and
poor preparation than anything else. However, if you feel the need to
brag about sailing across oceans, go ahead. Oh wait, you haven't done
it yet... well I have, and am more interested in playing around the
edges.
