Seems Wilbur never ventures futher that a barco lounger when he sets
sail. Dreaming he owns Clay Deutsch's Swan 68 Chippewa. If Clay knew
of Wilbur he would file a slander lawsuit. I saw people booing the
Swan racing sailboat Chippewa at her last race because they thought
Wilbur owned her.

Here is a picture of the real owner of Chippewa

Anyone know who this Wilbur sockpuppet is so I can clue Clay in?

I can tell you all about Wilbur Hubbard.

Wilbur Hubbard is perhaps the most accomplished and experienced sailor ever
to grace these news groups. Wilbur is a man's man who tells it like it is.
Wilbur believes in conservative values and the truism that a man of means is
a man of worth - an asset, a life-giver, a necessity.

Wilbur despises and actively refutes the liberal cause celeb that if you
have needs then you should expect to have your needs fulfilled by the
government's robbing the rich and passing out what's left of his assets
(after the government squanders about 75% of it supporting the bureaucracy)
to those who, for whatever reason, have produced nothing of worth. As a
conservative, Wilbur believes that those who produce are entitled to 100% of
what they produce to keep or to dispose of in any way they choose.

No matter how needy a consumer is, he is not entitled to anything other than
the privilege of paying the producer market rates for the product or
service. If he wishes a higher standard of living he is entitled to work
harder at obtaining it and nothing more. There are no free rides.

As for that other "Chippewa" might I suggest that no individual can
copyright a boat name. I have as much right to name my Swan 68 "Chippewa" as
Mr. Blythe has to name his the same. Although they share the same name, my
Chippewa is twice the boat. And, I am three times the captain!
