Super Snark was a so-so beginner's boat, but slower than molasses and
really didn't give much indication that you were getting it right. I
literally sailed rings around one in my Laser. Then we switched places
and he sailed (slower) rings around me. I couldn't get that thing to
get out of its own way.

Snarks don't sail fast with fat persons at the helm.

At the time, I had a 30" waist and about 150#, and the other guy was lighter.

Few have ever accused me of being fat, though I don't have the abs I
had when I raced the Laser.
