... trimmed all of Bruce's gibberish I can't imagine that having a good boat and proceeding at as fast as possible to avoid bad weather would somehow be more dangerous. Sorry, but I just don't understand the logic. You don't understand it because it's ignorance that resides behind Bruce's misconceptions. It's the old justification those who sail slowcoaches use so they don't become upset at how they bought the wrong boat that is actually less safe because it won't get out of its own way. While a fast boat like mine is safe in a protected harbor a slowcoach like Bruce's will be in the teeth of a storm and could well founder. Wilbur Hubbard |

Wilbur Hubbard I'd love to hear the logic if he wants, but I guess he doesn't want. |

You are certainly correct that your boat will be in port before mine as your great voyage (documented with photos) is down the bay and back. The great Sailor - down the bay and back.

Wilbur Hubbard Ah, Willie-boy, the wonders of an active imagination. Just sitting there your yellow anchor buoy has morphed into a fast sailing boat. Amazing!

I thought it was just one of those Tupperware, popped out of a mold, things built for the silly people who just want to own a boat. (are you sure that you have a racing boat, and not an anchor buoy?)
