gould, "Nimrod" was a "hunter" mentioned in the bible. "Nimrod" is also the
term used to describe Elmer Fudd(?) the cartoon hunter who hit a barn from the
side.

dougies, used to trailer his 19 foot Hunter down the Interstate and claim to
one and all that he was actually "cruising" and thus his "experience" was more
valuable as an "expert" than those who sailed merely dozens of miles every
weekend.

"Sunfish, classic model without the sissy footwell" is a metaphor for a
sailboat that is sailed often.

dougeis, your sailboat was a 19 foot Nimrod. How the hell can you
pontificate
so and not feel ashamed of yourself?

Sorry to interrupt the insult-slinging fest with a boat question.

How does the Nimrod differ from other small sailing vessels, such as a
Sunfish?
May seem like a simple question, and it probably is, but as a
dyed-in-the-wool
stinkpotter I can always learn something about the wind-driven school of
boating.
