Disagree that sails just don't break down unexpectedly. Add in all the
rigging and there are failures. Regular inspection and maintenance
makes a big difference, but sail/rigging failures do happen. Perhaps
no more or no less than a maintained diesel?


Agreed. I've my sails rip much more often then having the engine
fail.

Vote for Romney. Repeal the nightmares.
