Ok, Doug and Jeff, you both got me with the Dashews, and there's that
couple who sail a Beneteau First, I forget their names offhand. But
there ain't many.

Doug, Moller keeps trying to "market" his flying car; some (me, for
one) think he's just using it as a way to bilk investors; but you're
right about tailfins! And it's true that I'm still waiting for the
damned moon colony to get up and running!

Jeff, the opposite of the Pardeys is: A fiberglass boat with an
aluminium mast. An engine, so you aren't constantly begging tows, which
BTW is not exactly "self-sufficient." An engine also allows: electric
lights, refrigeration, a f*ing radio, fer gawd's sakes! Buying
ordinary, affordable, off-the-shelf winches, instead of scouring the
world to find obscure, old-fashioned (inefficient but somehow
salty-seeming) cranks. In short, being a sailor instead of a
"nostalgia-ist." Thor Heyerdahl didn't claim to be a "sailor" when he
tried to replicate crossing the ocean on his ancient-design reed boat;
he was simulating/replicating an historical event. Same for the
Pardeys.
