The point is that most owners of the "real sailboats" you keep talking
about don't often make use of their capability. I think it's better to
have a boat that is sailed often rather than a boat that COULD be sailed
to the Bahamas but is seldom taken out. I think that the Mac owners
probably get in more time sailing their boats than most owners of ocean
going vessels..

And jetski owners appear to go out every day. They must have the best
"boats" of all, then.
