There are sailboats and there are sailboats. Your boat should be a
reflection of your own life's ambition. If you are just a poor schmuck
living in a double-wide in Pennsylvania then anything you can come up with
to sail I say more power to you. A working man has to do what he can to
get out on the water and should realize even an unnoteworthy vessel is
better than no vessel at all.

Your sailboat is more than some lame toy. It should be and is, even if you
won't admit it, a reflection of the kind of man you are. That's why I sail
a Swan 68. I certainly would never retain a lawyer unless he sailed
something equivalent.

From the Nautor Swan Asia-Pacific website:
---------------------
The Swan 68 is a dynamic yachts which combines an elegance of line with an
astonishing level of performance and comfort. Even in a highly sensitized
world she represents sheer sailing pleasure.

Firstly on the drawing board, then at launch, and finally, after close
analysis by experts, Nautor Swan are acknowledged to be the finest of all
production sailing yacht. Owning a Swan, built to a standard by which rivals
are judged, is a universal ambition only a few can fulfill.

Wilbur, in this highly sensitized world, you da man!
