Racing boats that do frequent jib changes, often in the dark.


The only time I ever race is down below for another cold one.

Travleing at 6MPH and trying to call it racing is far too much of a
stretch for me.

Two sailboats going in the same general direction are, by definition, a
race.

Indubitably. And if the other boat "wins," it's because they're cheating.

The other boat never wins. It wasn't a race. :-)

You can always tell when you've won, or are about to win, one of these
impromptou races. In my experience the losing boat either turns on
the engine or heads off in a different direction. Egos are so fragile
sometimes. :-)
